Most of us have performed our first act of candle magic by the time we are two years old. Blowing out the tiny candles on our first birthday cake and making a wish is pure magic. This childhood custom is based on the three magical principals of concentration, will power and visualization. In simple terms, the child who wants his wish to come true has to concentrate (blow out the candles), visualize the end result (make a wish) and hope that it will come true( will power).
The size and shape of the candles you use is unimportant, although highly decorative, extra large, or unusually shaped candles will not be suitable as these may create distractions when the magician wants to concentrate on the important work in hand. Most magicians prefer to use candles of standard or uniform size if possible. Those which are sold in different colors for domestic use are ideal.
The candles you use of any type of magical use should be virgin, that is unused. Under no circumstances use a candle which has already adorned a dinner table or been used as a bedroom candle or night-light. There is a very good occult reason for not using anything but virgin materials in magic. Vibrations picked up by secondhand materials or equipment may disturb your workings and negate their effectiveness.
Some magicians who are artistically inclined prefer to make their own candles for ritual and magical use. This is a very practical exercise because not only does it impregnate the candle with your own personal vibrations, but the mere act of making your own candle is magically potent. Specialist shops sell candle wax and molds together with wicks, perfumes, and other equipment.
The hot wax is heated until liquid and then poured into the mold through which a suitably sized wick has already been threaded. The wax is then left to cool and once is this has occurred the mold is removed , leaving a perfectly formed candle. Special oil-soluble dyes and perfumes can be added to the wax before the cooling process is complete to provide suitable colors and scents for a particular magical ritual. Craft shops which sell candle making supplies can also provide do-it-yourself books explaining the technicalities of the art to the beginner.
Once you have purchased or made your ritual candle it has to be oiled or 'dressed' before burning. The purpose of dressing the candle is to establish a psychic link between it and the magician through a primal sensory experience. By physically touching the candle during the dressing procedure, you are charging it with our own personal vibrations and also concentrating the desire of your magical act into the wax. The candle is becoming an extension of the magician's mental power and life energy.
When you dress a candle for magical use, imagine that it is a psychic magnet with a North and a South pole. Rub the oil into the candle beginning at the top or North end and work downwards to the half-way point. Always brush in the same direction downwards. This process is then repeated by beginning at the bottom or south end and working up to the middle.
The best type of oils to use for dressing candles are natural ones which can be obtained quite easily. Some occult suppliers will provide candle magic oils with exotic names. If the magician does not want to use these, he can select suitable oils or perfumes from his own sources. The oils soluble perfumes sold by craft shops for inclusion in candles can be recommended.
The candles you use can be colored in accordance with the following magical uses:
white: spirituality and peace.
red: health, energy strength, courage, sexual potency.
pink: love affection and romance.
yellow: intellectualism, imagination, memory and creativity
green: fertility, abundance, good luck and harmony
blue: inspiration, occult wisdom, protection and devotion
purple: material wealth, higher psychic ability, spiritual power and idealism
silver: clairvoyance, inspiration, astral energy and intuition
orange: ambition, career matters and the law.
If you wanted to use candle magic for healing, you would select a red candle to burn. To pass an exam, burn a yellow candle, to gain esoteric knowledge burn a blue candle or for material gain, burn a purple one. It is obvious these colors relate to the signs of the zodiac and the planetary forces.
The simplest form of candle magic is to write down the objective of your ritual on a virgin piece of paper. You can use color paper which matches the candle. Write your petition on the paper using a magical alphabet, such as Theban, Enochian, Malachian, etc. As you write down what you want to accomplish through candle magic-- a new job, healing for a friend, a change of residence, a new love affair, etc.-- visualize your dream coming true. Visualize the circumstances under which you might be offered a new job, imagine your employer telling you that your salary has been increased or conjure up a vision of your perfect love partner.
When you have completed writing down your petition, carefully fold up the paper in a deliberately slow fashion. Place the end of the folded paper in the candle flame and set light to it. As you do this concentrate once more on what you want from life.
When you have completed your ritual, allow the candle to have completely burned away. You do not need to stay with the candle after the ritual, but make sure that is safe and that red-hot wax will not cause damage or fire. Never re-use a candle which has been lit in any magical ritual. It should only be used in that ritual and then allowed to burn away or be disposed of afterwards.
If you are conducting a magical ritual which involves two people (e.g. an absent healing for a person some distance away) then the second person can be symbolically represented during the ritual by another candle. All you need to do is find out the subject's birth date and burn the appropriate candle for that zodiacal sign. These are as follows:
ARIES RED
TAURUS GREEN
GEMINI YELLOW
CANCER SILVER
LEO ORANGE
VIRGO YELLOW
LIBRA PINK
SCORPIO RED
SAGITTARIUS PURPLE
CAPRICORN BLACK
AQUARIUS ALL COLORS
PISCES MAUVE

I have known I was a witch since birth. I was 4 and mixing my dad's colognes together thinking I was making spells. I wasn't raised with this at all, I was raised in a Christian home. I use to be powerful but have gotten away from it.... any pointers on how to get that back?
If you are of natural spirit then you didn't lose it. Your magic comes from within, sometimes it can slip into something that you are attached to. Meaning you have the ability to hide your magic. You might have done it by mistake. Remember the last thing you were fond of, do a magic restore spell.
no, i maybe know this. sometimes a tricky things place some spirit & energies inside body that prevent someone to be witch & blocks ability (in my experience, well,i believe many witches just know & able to see this too), maybe meditate and open chakra would help? and often practicing real witchery will make sense/feeling of something little by little, until so many/much?
i was born with part demon i always bean able to do curtain demonic things but i could never open my third eye.
I really need a teacher 👩🏫 to help me become demonic,witch and powerful but it so difficult in my Christian ✝️ country in Ghana 🇬🇭 my question is,can it be possible to get a teacher from social media platform and if possible how can I find one and who is ready to help me
Thank you for all the info. Can I ask something though? I used this candle to manifest for something, and one of my friends told me that I should keep re-using it since the paper ashes are there and that the candle flame can somehow re-manifest what i wrote down. Is that right? Or should I just scrap it?
Reusing the candle? You should let it burn down completely, unless this is a 7 day candle, in which case, you should snuff it and relight it every night for 7 days. If this is just a regular candle you used for 15 minutes and snuffed out, you can technically use it again, but I would use it for the same thing each time [a candle you used for money should always be used for money as it's charged with that energy] If she meant the ashes, I don't see how you could reuse them, though you can sprinkle them across your doorway so the entrance to your home is welcoming that energy in.
