Everyone loves the beautiful flicker that a candle casts in a room, setting the tone for dinner, romance, healing, and meditation. Lighting a candle evokes an atmosphere of magick, making the space perfect for meditation, chanting, healing, ritual, or prayer! Better yet, lighting a candle also gives you a fantastic focal point for your intentions, causing them to be sent up for manifestation as the candle burns out!
Specific colors add a different vibration to your intention, causing it to be manifested faster!That leads us to the question of, “What color candle should I burn for a love spell?” or “What color candle should I burn for a money spell?” or “What are the candle color meanings?”.
That also leads us to answer that question! Below, you’ll find all of the candle color correspondences you could ever need for your work!
Simply cleanse your candle, consecrate/bless/dress your candle, speak/chant/carve your intention over/into the candle, and light!
