History of Candle Magic
Fire acts as a magical battery and the element will empower our spells and rituals as well as speeding the outcome that we want to achieve. Traditionally, before colour and paints were developed, candles were made out of beeswax, were relative expensive and they only existed in one brown/yellow colour. In our modern societies, candles come in multiple colours and it is also an excellent idea to incorporate the power of colour into your rituals.
Modern Witchcraft has created Magical correspondences depending on the colour of the candle. Colour is a powerful stimulant for the brain and as our vision is the sense which is the most sharpened in our era, it can really bring out a lot of energy from our unconscious self. So here is the list of Candle Colour Meanings that you can use in order to give a splash of colour in your magical practices.
