Candle Magic

Candles have a long and interesting history in religious worship, magic, and folklore. They light the way to the sacred, they dispel the forces of darkness, they are associated with ghosts and the dead, they can find buried treasure, and they play a role in incubated dreaming.

The origin of candles is not known, but there is evidence that beeswax candles were used in Egypt and Crete as early as 3000 B.C.E. Other early candles consisted of tapers made of a fibrous material, such as rushes, saturated with tallow.

Ancient peoples observed that candle flames revealed mysterious things. By staring into a flame, one could enter an altered state of consciousness and see gods and spirits, or see the future. The late Egyptians of about the third century used lamps, and possibly candles, in a magic ritual for "dreaming true," or obtaining answers from dreams. The individual retired to a dark cave facing south and sat and stared into a flame until he saw a god. He then lay down and went to sleep, anticipating that the god would appear in his dreams with the answers he sought.


The following are some of the energy vibrations and influences evoked by colors. Burning colored candles in magical work enhances the vibration of the colors.
  • White: Spiritual truth and strength; purity and purification; meditation; attract benevolent spiritual forces; break curses; feminine principle (in alchemy).
  • Pink: Love and friendship; harmony; entertaining; morality; domestic tranquility; the sign of Cancer.
  • Red: Sexuality; strength; physical health and vigor; passion; protection; the signs of Scorpioand Aries; masculine principle (in alchemy).
  • Orange: Courage; communication; solving of legal problems; concentration; encouragement; the sign of Taurus.
  • Yellow: Persuasion; confidence and charm; aid to memory and studying; the signs of Virgo and Gemini.
  • Green: Healing; money and prosperity; luck; fertility; the sign of Sagittarius.
  • Blue: Psychic and spiritual awareness; peace; prophetic dreams; protection during sleep; the signs of Aquarius and Virgo.
  • Purple: Ambition; ruling authority; reversing a curse; speeding healing in illness; extra power; the sign of Pisces; lavender for the sign of Libra.
  • Gold: Protection; enlightenment; masculine principle; the Sun; the sign of Leo.
  • Silver: Intuition; subconscious; feminine principle; the Moon.
  • Brown: Protecting pets; solving household problems; attracting help in financial crises; the sign of Capricorn.
  • Gray: Stalemate; neutrality; cancellation.
  • Black: Loss; sadness; discord; releasement; negativity.
