Candle magic is a simple yet powerful practice that has been used in various cultures around the world for centuries. A coloured candle features in most spell work and can be used to manifest desires, set intentions, promote protection, assist healing and even cut energetic cords.

Here are some common meanings of candle colours in candle magic:

White: Purity, cleansing, healing, protection
Black: Banishing, protection, repelling negative energy.
Red: Passion, love, romance, strength, courage.
Pink: Affection, friendship, harmony, emotional healing.
Orange: Creativity, energy, success, opportunity.
Yellow: Intellect, focus, communication, success.
Green: Abundance, growth, fertility, healing.
Blue: Tranquillity, peace, communication, spiritual growth.
Purple: Intuition, psychic abilities, spiritual growth.
Silver: Clairvoyance, intuition, telepathy, psychic development.
Gold: Wealth, prosperity, success, achievement.

To manifest desires - light a candle that represents your intention and focus your energy and attention on that intention while the candle burns.

Setting intentions - This can be done by carving symbols or words onto the candle that represent the desired outcome and focusing your energy and attention on that intention while the candle burns.

Healing rituals to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being - Choose a candle colour that represents healing, such as green or blue, and focusing your energy and intention on promoting healing while the candle burns.

Protection rituals to ward off negative energy or entities - This can be done by choosing a candle color that represents protection, such as black or white, and focusing your energy and intention on creating a protective barrier while the candle burns.

Remember that candle magic is a powerful tool, but it is important to approach it with respect and caution. Always ensure that you are using candles in a safe and responsible manner, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
