Candle magic is one of the most powerful magical systems available. It can be used by Wiccans, traditional Witches, High Magicians and anyone who wish to improve their lives with spells and magic. The power of candle magic lies in its simplicity. The simplicity is in the execution of candle magic and the tools required for successful candle magic.
There is much discussion regarding colour correspondences use in candle magic. Again, the simple approach is best for spell casting. Any colour can be used, for the power of candle magic is the passion and emotion instilled into the candle during the magical ritual.
Once a suitable candle has been chosen, it is important that it be dressed correctly with good quality oil. This involves rubbing oil into the candle as one visualizes the spell and the magical effect one wishes to achieve. This dressing is important for any candle magic for it allows the magical intent to build up and flow. When the magical intent is highest then one lights the candle; this is why colour does not matter for the magickal focus overrides the physical symbolism.
The power of candle magic builds during the dressing of the candle and here one’s magical intent needs to be clear. The spell is focused upon and at the peak, one lights the candle and contemplates on the flame. The interpretation of the candle magic is an individual thing and will change from spell caster to spell caster. The flame can be seen as the etheric manifestation of the spell casters wish, and then contemplation upon the flame will bring the spell into the physical plane.
With any magic, including candle magic, it is important to let the magic happen. This means that you leave the way the spell manifests up to the Universe. We have no idea how the channels of the Cosmos will deliver our magical wish, which is why it is important that the doors be left opened for the spell to work.
The power of candle magic brings the Wiccan, the High priest, the Witch or anyone else wishing for change, in touch with the forces of the Cosmos. Candle magic is simple, elegant and very relaxing; it also requires few tools and little preparation. Candle magic can also be used in complex rituals if one wishes. This is another beauty of the power of candle magic; it is adaptable and can be used for impromptu spell casting at any time.
