Illuminating the Path: A Beginner's Guide to Candle Magick

🕯️✨🔮

Candle magick is a beautiful and accessible way to harness the power of fire and light in your magical practice. Whether you're new to witchcraft or looking to deepen your connection with this ancient art, candle magick offers a versatile and powerful tool for manifesting intentions, creating sacred space, and connecting with the divine. Let's explore the basics of candle magick, how to choose and prepare your candles, and discover simple spells and rituals to illuminate your path.

What is Candle Magick?

Candle magick involves using candles as a focal point for your intentions, prayers, and spells. The flame of the candle represents the element of fire, a symbol of transformation, energy, and purification. The act of lighting a candle and focusing on its flame helps concentrate your energy and send your intentions out into the universe.

Choosing Your Candles

The first step in candle magick is selecting the right candle for your purpose. Candles come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, each holding unique magical properties.

Colour Correspondences:

White: Purity, protection, healing, spiritual growth

Red: Passion, strength, courage, love

Pink: Love, friendship, compassion, emotional healing

Orange: Creativity, enthusiasm, success, joy

Yellow: Wisdom, communication, mental clarity, confidence

Green: Prosperity, abundance, health, growth

Blue: Peace, tranquility, protection, intuition

Purple: Spirituality, psychic abilities, wisdom, power

Black: Protection, banishing negativity, grounding

Brown: Stability, grounding, home protection, animal magic

Types of Candles:

🕯️Taper Candles: Tall and thin, ideal for longer rituals and spells.

🕯️Pillar Candles: Thick and sturdy, suitable for extended workings and larger spells.

🕯️Tea Light Candles: Small and convenient, perfect for simple spells and meditations.

🕯️Chime Candles: Short and fast-burning, great for quick spells and intention-setting.

Preparing Your Candles

Once you've chosen your candle, it's essential to prepare or "dress" it for your magical work. This involves cleansing, charging, and anointing the candle to align it with your intention.

Cleansing: Cleanse your candle to remove any unwanted energies. You can pass it through the smoke of incense, sprinkle it with salt water, or hold it under running water while focusing on purifying it.

Charging: Charge your candle by holding it in your hands and visualizing your intention. Imagine your goal or desire flowing from your heart into the candle, filling it with energy and purpose.

Anointing: Anoint your candle with a suitable oil to enhance its power. Use oils that correspond to your intention, such as lavender for peace, rosemary for protection, or cinnamon for prosperity. Apply the oil from the top of the candle to the middle, then from the bottom to the middle.

Simple Candle Magick Spells and Rituals

Basic Intention Setting Spell

This is a straightforward spell for beginners to focus on a specific goal or desire.

1. Choose a candle color that matches your intention.

2. Write your intention on a piece of paper.

3. Light the candle and visualize your intention coming to fruition.

4. Focus on the flame and chant your intention, such as "I am attracting abundance" or "I am protected and safe."

5. Burn the paper in the candle's flame and let the candle burn down safely.

Candle Meditation for Clarity

This ritual helps clear your mind and gain insight or guidance.

1. Choose a white or blue candle.

2. Light the candle and sit comfortably in front of it.

3. Focus on the flame and take deep breaths, allowing your mind to clear.

4. Ask a question or seek guidance, and watch the flame for any flickers or movements.

5. Meditate for as long as you feel necessary, then extinguish the candle.

Protection Candle Spell

This spell creates a shield of protection around you or your home.

1. Choose a black or white candle.

2. Anoint the candle with protection oil (e.g., rosemary or frankincense).

3. Light the candle and visualize a protective shield surrounding you or your space.

4. Chant, "By this flame, I am protected. Negative energies are deflected."

5. Let the candle burn down safely, reinforcing your protective barrier.

Love and Friendship Spell

This spell attracts love, compassion, and friendship into your life

1. Choose a pink candle.

2. Write your desire for love or friendship on a piece of paper

4. Light the candle and visualize loving energy flowing towards you.

5. Chant, "Love and friendship come my way, with harm to none, this I say."

Tips for Safe and Effective Candle Magick

• Always practice fire safety. Never leave a burning candle unattended and place it on a heat-resistant surface.

• Use a snuffer or your fingers to extinguish candles. Blowing them out can disperse the energy.

• Be mindful of the candle's flame and wax. The way it burns can provide insights into your spell's effectiveness.

• Keep a journal of your candle magick experiences to track your progress and learn from each ritual.

Candle magick is a powerful and accessible way to work with the elemental energy of fire and manifest your desires. By choosing the right candles, preparing them with intention, and engaging in simple spells and rituals, you can harness the transformative power of candle magick to illuminate your path and achieve your goals. As you light your candles, may your intentions burn bright, your heart be full of magic, and your spirit be guided by the gentle glow of the flame.

Happy casting!

ENERGY TRANSMITTING SPELL.

has someone sent you negative energy? talking shit about you? gossiping about you? Sending you the evil eye? speaking negatively on your name? sending you all this nasty energy?

if yes then this is the perfect spell for you and let me explain. You can use this free energy that others are sending you to your advantage! rather than making these people stop talking negative about you, use this energy and transform it into more abundance for yourself, to give yourself proclaimed power, and more self love for you! So that anytime someone speaks negatively on your name make it so you get more self love and abundance for yourself. instead of using the evil eye to deflect this negative energy let’s make this energy beneficial for you. And here’s how ↓ ↓ ↓

(DISCLAIMER: please, please do a protection spell before you do this spell. Or atleast perfect protection magick before you do this)

♱

STEPS FOR THIS SPELL:

First cleanse your tools and ingredients and ask spirit guides/ancestor for protection and assistance.

grab a piece of paper and write “may any negative energy, evil eye, gossiping or jealousy spoken on my name or surrounding my name be transmutted into luck, abundance, power, self love, and confidence for myself, bringing me closer to balance, success and serenity.”

Write your full name on the back of the paper and fold the paper towards you

Put the paper in a jar, or any container that can close. (I used an old jewelry box for this spell which can work too)

♱

Now Add the following ingredients;

⁃ roses; to fuel me with self love and confidence anytime someone speaks on my name with ill intentions

⁃ nutmeg; to bring me luck and abundance anytime someone speaks on my name with ill intentions

⁃ basil; to purify the negative energy spoken on my name and to transmute it into luck, abundance, power, self love, and confidence for myself

⁃ Eucalyptus oil; to purify the negative energy spoken on my name and to transmute it into luck, abundance, power, self love, and confidence for myself

⁃ Oregano leaves; to bring me luck and abundance anytime someone speaks on my name with ill intentions

⁃ Salt; to purify that negative energy sent towards me and to turn that energy into luck, abundance, power, self love, and confidence for myself

⁃ Tigers eye; to change that negative energy into positive energy for myself

⁃ Clear quartz; to absorb the negative energy sent towards me or spoken on my name and transmute it into luck, abundance, power, self love, and confidence for myself

Seal the jar/container with white wax for purification

♱

LASTLY:

Thank the spirit of the herbs and crystals, and thank your spirit guides and ancestors!

Focus on intentions with the jar “to trap any negative energy, evil eye, or gossip sent my way and spoken on my name, to purify the energy and send it back out to me into luck, abundance, power, self love, and confidence for myself”

now that your done, you can let those people talk shit on your name because simultaneously your becoming more abundant, powerful, and beautiful. You’re leveling up while they’re leveling down. 🤭 I’ve created this spell and did it a month ago and safe to say that this definitely works.

Samhain Candles

This year I'm making candles for my ancestors as part of my Saimhain celebration! This was my first time making "taper" candles but it was pretty easy + fun, as long as you dont mind getting your hands a little dirty!

What you'll need~

Beeswax

Candle wicks

Saimhain herbs + anything that feels right to you

Charcoal

Tinfoil

Some sort of mixing utensil (plastic butter knife/pallet knife)

Double boiler

You'll want to gather your herbs, and enchant them if that tickles your fancy. I used, mullein, anise seed, lavender, rose petals, baby's breath, rosemary, thyme, cinnamon, pine needles, and cardamom. I stirred clockwise 3x to bring in connection to my ancestors and the spirits of my home, and stirred counterclockwise 3x to banish negative + evil energies and spirits.

To melt your wax, use a double boiler on the stove. I added charcoal once it was almost completely liquid so my candles could be a spooky black color + have protective qualities.

I put tinfoil down on my workspace, and used a plastic butter knife to mix my herbs with the melted wax.

Put your herbs in the center of your foil workstation and create a little well in the middle. Then SLOWLY add the melted beeswax and be careful, it will be VERY HOT. Mix your herbs with the wax and pour a bit more wax if you need/want to. The more you mix, the faster the wax will cool and once its at room temp, it will be malleable, but still pretty warm to the touch so be careful as you do this part.

Once you can touch the wax, roll it out a bit and then add your wick and try to push it into the center of the wax. This part is kindof trial and error, but just try to keep the bottom of the wick at the bottom of your roll. Then just shape the candle as you wish! Remember to keep the bottom flat as youre shaping it. When its cooled enough to pick up and keep its shape, you can stand it up and try tapping the bottom on your table/flat surface to get a nice and flat bottom.

You can also roll your shaped wax in herbs instead of mixing them in before it cools. IF YOU DO THIS, YOU NEED TO SEAL THE CANDLE or else things will start becoming a serious fire hazard. You can also seal your candle if you followed the steps above and just want that extra bit of fire safety, like a smoother look, or want to have a different color outside than the inside.

Seal your candle by dipping it in fully melted wax. You can do one or a few layers, just make sure it cools before redipping it.

Then you should be all set!

Have a wonderful Saimhain, and don't forget to take time to remember and honor your lost loved ones and ancestors!

Witch Tip No. 30

Enchant your pumpkin scented candles to bring you abundance, as one of the correspondences of gourds is abundance. Don't forget to be specific, make sure to state what you want an abundance of.
