One of
questions that I am asked most often on
realm, is colour of candle should I burn for what purpose? And when ...As there is no book out there called Candle Burning for Dummies, I thought I would give you a quick crash course in
correspondences of colour candles to magickal purposes. As a practicing witchlet,
first thing you must do is learn how to
a) pray your heart out and b) laugh maniacally.
As far as Iım concerned, no spell is complete without fervent wishing and praying followed by a maniacal laugh (to seal
spell.)
The second thing you must do is familiarize yourself with
phases of
moon. It is best to do most magic from
New Moon to
Full Moon period when
moon is waxing. During this period, cosmic or astral energy is building and this is best for if you want to attract something to you ... like a lover, more money, more gerbils or whatever. From
period of
Full Moon to
next New Moon is best for banishing spells -- getting rid of negativity, stalkers and
like. www.artcharts.com has a nice ephemeris on it that tells you where
moon is each day. This site also tells you when
moon is what is called ³void of course²... you donıt want to start burning a candle while this is going lest your cosmic energy go astray ... of course if you have a question about whether a night is a good night to burn a candle, you can always email one of
psychics (Mary Helene, Ruella, David, Lydia and myself are good choices) to help you with
astrological aspects.
RED candles burnt during
waxing mood period are used to attract more love, lust and drama into your life. They are especially good to burn during
three days leading up to
full moon to heighten
erotic tension. They can also be used during
waning moon period to drive a rival away (especially if used in conjunction with black candle.) However this is manipulative magick and could have some bad karma attached to it.
ORANGE candles bring you love, joy, luck, happiness, feasting and luck with children and pets. Wanna go to more parties? This is
candle to burn.
GREEN candles increase cash flow and bring steady work. They represent growth, fertility, abundance and opportunity. Combined with a black candle during
waning moon, they can help remove financial obstacles in your way.
YELLOW candles are for both spiritual and material riches and help align your will with
heart. This is
colour to burn you are confused about your career or professional matters...this is
colour you want. It can also help you buy that new fridge or car. PINK candles bring tenderness, equilibrium and help you manifest
higher qualities of love in your life -- patience, faith and compassion. Like orange, this can also be a fun candle and bring delight and surprises into your life. For a real lift, trying burning a yellow orange and pink candle together.
