How Does Candle Magick Work?
Candle magick is essentially sympatheticmagick, which is a principle that channels the power of attractionor like attracts like. For most experts and practitioners, candleburning is a means in which an individual focuses their energy andwill in order to manifest their greatest dreams and desires. Whilemost of the uninformed public relate candle burning rituals andceremonies to that of black magick or dark magick, but that is notwhat candle burning practices are made for.
There are many different methods available toan individual interested in learning more about candle magick, andthey can usually be performed using two methods:
The Simple Method
The simple method is performed by lighting acandle in a quiet area and concentrating intensely on what youdesire while chanting a simple key phrase or phrases over and over.This can last for as short or as long as an individual needs it tobe.
The Advanced Method
There may be a lot of preparation anddifferent tools such as herbs, oils and such that will help achievethe level of concentration he or she desires. Using this method mayalso last for a number of days or weeks, depending on the desire ofthe person.
The color of a candle has an effect such asblue as it soothes and cool, green for money and fertility, red forlove and strength. However, when in doubt, it is always a goodpractice to just use the color white as substitute for all of thecolors. In addition, it is important that an unused candle be litup as not to signify the message of purity in the ceremony.
