Candle Magic

 

Candle magic is a popular form of magic that has been used for centuries to bring about change, manifestation, and intention. It is a simple yet powerful tool that can be used for a variety of purposes, from attracting love and abundance to protection and healing. In this post, we'll explore some effective techniques for using candle magic in your practice.

Setting the mood:

Before you begin your candle magic, it's important to set the mood and create a sacred space. You can do this by lighting incense or sage, playing soothing music, and dimming the lights. You may also want to meditate or perform a simple ritual to help you connect with your intention and the energy of the candle. Creating a sacred space will help you to focus your energy and intention, and increase the effectiveness of your candle magic.

Choosing the right candle:

The next step is to choose the right candle for your intention. Different colors have different correspondences and can be used for specific purposes. For example, a red candle is associated with passion and energy, green candles are associated with abundance and prosperity while a blue candle is used for healing and calmness. Herbs and essential oils have their own correspondences and can enhance even more the power in your candle magic.

Charging the candle:

Once you've chosen your candle, the next step is to charge it with your intention. This is often done by holding the candle in your hands and visualizing your desired outcome. You can also anoint the candle with essential oils or carve symbols or words into the wax that correspond with your intention. As you charge the candle, focus on your desired outcome and infuse it with your energy and intention.

Lighting the candle:

Once you've charged the candle and created a sacred space, it's time to light the candle. As you do so, focus on your intention and visualize your desired outcome. You can also recite a mantra or affirmation that corresponds with your intention. Allow the candle to burn down completely, or extinguish by snuffing it when you feel your intention has been released into the universe.

Closing the ritual:

After the candle has burned down, it's important to close the ritual and release any remaining energy. You can do this by reciting a prayer or affirmation of gratitude, or snuffing the candle and thanking the universe for manifesting your intention. You may also want to journal about your experience and any insights or messages that came through during your candle magic.

Candle magic is a powerful tool that can be used to bring about change, manifestation, and intention. Experiment with different colors, scents, and correspondences, and find what works best. Remember, candle magic is a simple yet effective way to manifest your desires and bring about positive change in your life.
