There are times when you DON’T have to cleanse your candle. Which include if you’ve already been using it for one particular reason. For example, if you have a “working candle” that you only use to light your rituals or spells…it provides light and ambiance or extra energy to your working. You wouldn’t need to constantly cleanse it between each burning. The same goes if you’ve charged a large candle for prosperity and enjoy lighting it on a daily basis. No cleansing is necessary, unless you feel drawn to do so. In addition, if you MAKE your own candles, there’s no need to cleanse them after making them if you were putting your intentions into them during the creation process. Ways to Spiritually Cleanse a Candle: Red has a very powerful and lively energy in candle Magic. It is used for strength, emotional and sexual stimulation, vitality, and passionate love.

For example, you could say something like: Candle magic for beginners should always include dressing a candle, but unfortunately this part is frequently overlooked. Dressing a candle involves adding extra ingredients and intention into your candle spell or ritual by anointing your candle in oils, carving symbols or words into your candle, and/or rolling the oiled candle in loose leaf herbs and powders. You may choose to do one or all of these. Do you ever wonder why all emotional things like love, marriage, birth, and death seem to have a candle element in them? It is because candle magic has the capacity to put together power to bring about transformation. The fire that the candle produces may be small but I can tell you that it has the power of the inferno when it comes to changing your life.High or ritualistic magic tends to focus more on ceremony, ritual and invocation. Alchemists were generally high magicians, but high magic's most famous son is probably the turn-of-the-century mystic and occultist Aleister Crowley. Most ritualistic magic is conducted in groups or covens. Witchcraft's own religion, Wicca, makes much use of it. "The difference," says Latham, "is that high magic is formal and theatrical." Beginners are often confused on what kind or size of candle to use for candle magic. The thing is most rituals and spells don’t tell you what kind or size to use.

Unfortunately, discrimination against Wiccans and pagans is alive and well, tinged with ignorance and paranoia. Drama teacher Ralph Morse was recently suspended from his job at Shenfield high school in Essex after admitting to being youth officer for the Pagan Federation and a practising witch (he was later reinstated). The school's headteacher, John Fairhurst, issued a statement saying, "We completely and unequivocally reject their world of witchcraft and magic." Rands was asked to leave her post as a nanny after her journalist employer accused her of using witchcraft to "steal the children". Poppets are wax, clay or even Plasticene figures resembling the person on whom the magic is to be focused.

The poppet's leg might be bandaged as part of a healing ritual, or its mouth might be sewn up to prevent the living person it represents from spreading gossip. Once the spell has worked, the poppet will be burned or buried, thereby releasing the spell. To make your spells unique, you will need to create your own associations. Ideally, each color should have a personal connection that talks to you on a much deeper level than a simple color chart could ever do. White Candles Next is dressing the candle in oil. The kind of oil you use isn’t important. Plain old olive oil will work well if you don’t have anything else to use. Often, this oil has been blessed or enchanted in some way. A simple “may this oil carry my will into reality” can suffice. Many people prescribe a specific direction of applying the oil depending on the type of spell (from the center to the ends for banishing, from the ends to the center for attracting magic) but I find that simply going from top to bottom works just as well for me. Do what feels right for you. Many people often ask me what ingredients candle magic should go with. Well, this really depends on the goals why you are casting your spell. For instance, if you are going to use a green candle, ensure that it has never been used before. In instances where you are casting candle magic for wealth, always ensure that the candle holder is made from gold. Take some action
