Candles?

Does the color of a candle really matter while casting a spell?

In my experience yes. To me, the symbolism of the color helps to create the result. Use white to substitute a color if you must

The problem is I don't have white and it calls for a white candle

it may not work then if it specifically calls for a white candle

white candles are a neccessity that I suggest buying if you do decide to use candles, although candles are optional. All you really need to perform a spell is your mind.

I've heard that getting white candles and writing "red" or "black" on the candle is the same as having a red or black candle, but I am not sure if it will work writing "white" on a red candle.

So a red or orange candle won't work for this spell?

To be cast at night just before you go to sleep,

With dreamers eyes I wish you to see
Just a little piece of me
All my love for you is real
Reveal to you as is my will

Blow out the candle when finished

Since its a love spell? A red candle should serve you well.

When you're doing something like candle magic, I don't see the point of going at it halfway. If you want the desired outcome of the spell you have in front of you, do the spell as it. If you want a different outcome, or you want to use something else to get it, write your own spell.

White candles are everywhere. They are easy to find. You can get birthday candles, if you have to.

But at the same time, you might want to do more research into what candle magic really is all about, how to do it, and why the colors are important (or not). It's strange to have a white candle for a love-related spell. Pink and red candles are usually what's requested.
