First of all, you should know that the color of the candle is not necessary for the ritual. Not only that - the wrong color can actively prevent you from expressing a pure and clear intention. This should be taken into account as the red associated with body dynamics will not be appropriate for supporting science or spiritual matters. Violet, on the other hand, will not be popular when it comes to arousing sexuality or contact with people.
However, this is not a strict dependency. In special cases, a color that seems to be inappropriate to the case can do more than the commonly recommended one. However, for safety reasons, it is assumed that the most neutral are white and light gray candles, as these are the best to restore balance and remove excess forces. Black color neutralizes any excess energy, it allows you to calm even high levels of chaos. Those who know the richness of colors will be able to choose the right color for their intention, but should not stick to it too hard.
What makes color relevant to many people is the gentle quality of focusing on the nature of the intention. Each color has its own properties as well as the possibilities and ways of introducing our strength to the real effect. Warm colors (more dynamic) are directed directly at the action in matter. Cool colors work more in the spiritual realm, they are more subtle and their effect is more manifested through inner sensations. Candles in pastel (light) colors have a milder effect, while the darker ones focus on extinguishing and soothing it.
Candle Color will tell you the most
The candle does not have to be all the same color. It is enough for the tip of the candle to be in the color chosen by us, because it is the moment of working with the intention that is the most important. The most sensitive moment is when lighting a candle. Even pure thought can get dirty with careless desire. As much concentration as possible is required, and the color serves as a base and thus build attitude.
The color that we choose for the ritual does not have to be on the candle. A colored napkin, a candle holder of the selected color, or even a mineral close enough to a candle to combine its properties with a flame, work just as well. Some people burn colored paper with the intention or supportive prayers to strengthen their intention.
In fact, color is needed mainly as an accessory that supports the ritual of candle magic but is not the main foundation. Its presence can therefore be arbitrary and placed near the candle in a very creative way, e.g. by placing it in a lantern of the color of your choice.
Red candle
It works best in matters of health, as well as those that arouse passion and sexual power. It supports every activity in matter and investments in physical movement. Therefore, it works best to support motivation to exercise, as well as dance or yoga. Wherever we need a kick to manifest our strength, we will need a red candle. Recommended for people who are nervous and suffering from long-term stress and all types of anxiety and phobias. Lit next to a sick person, it adds vitality and accelerates recovery. It can restore a good mood, relieve tension and stimulate the body to relax. It improves well-being and opens up to taking new activities (and maintaining them, which is useful for New Year's resolutions).
Bright red candle
Intensifies psycho-emotional activity, providing strong stimuli to the higher aspects of physicality. It enlivens the mind, encourages to act and undertake work that we normally do not have the strength to do. If you go overboard with this candle, you will quickly recognize it by the anxiety of both your thoughts and your body. Exaggeration creates a background for the negative aspects that a bright red candle normally mutes - do not burn it for more than 30 minutes.
The dark red candle
focuses its action mainly on enhancing the sensuality and dynamics of the body. It stimulates the energy center responsible for sex and procreation, which strengthens the will to live. Man reacts to its energies in a simple way - building energy internally, which warms up the body and stimulates the soul to manifest. When smoked for too long, however, it can arouse aggression and burden the head with unpleasant thoughts, often saturated with negative.
Orange candle
He is best at solving emotional problems (both childhood blocks and intergenerational misunderstandings). We always smoke it for the sake of serenity, reconciliation with others and for the time of regeneration (sleep, rest) that is beneficial for us. It fulfills its role in increasing our expression, strengthens the willingness to maintain contact and facilitates establishing closer relationships. The orange candle is recommended for long-term pessimistic moods - sadness, boredom or pessimistic thoughts. It strongly stimulates the nervous system, stimulates the body, arouses optimism and reduces fatigue. It encourages the creative use of time and resources to fill in. Some advocate its special action in terms of finance and building wealth, while others focus on increased social activity.
Yellow candle
Works best for intentions aimed at security and global compliance. Burning a candle in this color will give us a safe journey, stimulate our brilliance in conversations and improve our academic performance. Concentration, richer pronunciation and a light pen are the main opportunities that the yellow candle uses. It also strengthens memory and the expression of behavior - in large amounts, self-confidence and fluent conversation can turn against lying, insincerity and sensual hyperactivity. The yellow candle works intensely where human being is combined with environmental action. Therefore, it is effective in calming down related fears (uncertainty towards people, fear of contact, etc.), as well as those concerning the more general ones, e.g. travel safety, cheerful mood and openness.
Green candle
It works best for all intentions of a protective nature and strengthening perseverance and endurance (both mental and physical). It protects against all diseases caused by long-term stress and unfavorable environment. The green candle works best when our intention is for security, to overthrow negative forces around us, and to ensure abundance. That is why it is especially recommended for desperate people looking for peace and a safe haven. Roasted for health, emotional balance, but also physical attractiveness and enhancement of our appearance. It is also recommended for increasing fertility and finances and for people tired of the chaos around them. All this makes a green candle ideally enrich a person with the strength they need, so that they can cope better in every sphere of life - from health.

Blue candle
It works best with intentions targeting a mental state, so to calm down dispersed thoughts, cool down feverish panic and clear the mind of chaos and negative influences. Roasted when we want to find inspiration, creative inspiration or hear the voice of intuition. The blue candle influences the surroundings, bringing them peace, harmony and a feeling of happiness. It works especially well in relieving pain (mental and physical) and getting rid of problems and unfriendly people. Recommended for people with a lack of self-confidence and / or facing a lack of stability in the family, professional work and personal development sphere. Be careful not to overdo this candle, as it may end up in a depressed mood, an emotional loss, and a cooling down of the relationship.
Light blue candle
It focuses mainly on creativity, but also on a wealth of dreams and visions. Often used for meditation and work with intuition.
Dark blue candle
It focuses on the digestibility of information and strengthening your confidence. Thanks to it, we will learn faster and our memory will work better. The closer to navy blue, the better the learning intentions.
Violet candle
It works best in a wide range of intentions based on spiritual development, developing virtues and learning the truths about oneself, i.e. mystical and spiritual matters on earth. The purple candle has a positive effect on the perception, attitude to the world and soothes negative emotions and guilt. It develops the psyche and protects the mind from destructive thoughts, and its action both protects and cleans every sphere of human activities (from typically physical aspects to spiritual raptures). For this reason, it is burned mainly for meditation purposes, when we need a calm mind or when we feel threatened by external influences and the growing doubts within us. According to some sources, it enables you to reach higher states of consciousness and strengthens any intention, as long as it is unselfish.
Light purple candle
Releases from tensions and doubts that arise in man as he rushes through the chaos of life. It allows you to calm down and refuse to think about problems.
Dark purple candle
Mainly used in severe mental blocks based on fear and aggression. It cleanses the basics and promotes inner balance.
Pink candle
It works best wherever there is a lack of a wealth of emotions and harmony. It strengthens empathy, encourages greater understanding of both oneself and others, and has a positive effect on finding happiness in everyday life. We burn a pink candle especially when we feel a decrease in well-being, rough contacts and coldness (in every direction). It is strongly associated with female strength, as it provides relaxation of character, openness to people and reduces (self-aggression. Recommended for people who are hypersensitive or emotionally dull (it aligns any emotional polarity), anxious and anxious. Besides, a pink candle is often recommended in improving health and beauty. and increasing your charm, and thus broadly understood attractiveness.
White candle
It is commonly believed that a white candle favors every intention as it contains all possible colors. However, this is not the case - a white candle is usually milky or gray and as such is treated as neutral, capable of accepting any intention and wish. Due to its versatility, it can be used to energetically support our health, plans and activities - from the influx of new ideas to the purification of the aura . A white candle is burned especially when we want to start over, start the stage with the right pace and optimism towards their development. Used for purifying purposes, it is also involved in exorcisms and creating balance.
Black candle
Recommended in exorcisms, when destroying old connections, rituals based on the New Moon and those aimed at removing limiting beliefs, blockages and influences that burden us. They allow you to hide from the evil eye and keep away any negative influences. The black candle allows you to neutralize or nullify even heavy energies, but also the positive ones dominate equally strongly - hence their bad reputation and occurrence in dark rituals (mainly Satanic). We can smoke it when we feel emotional poisoning because it is great at dealing with both mental and physical tensions. We smoke it mainly for protection, purification and private privacy.
Rainbow Candle
Being able to focus too much on one color can be fatal. The same principle applies to rainbow candles.Contrary to all encouragement from sellers, they are not fit for keeping intention. According to their instructions, it is good to burn rainbow candles with the seven chakras in mind . Unfortunately, multi-colored wax usually introduces only disorganization due to the multitude of different emanations. Therefore, the rainbow range of colors is best used mainly to stimulate the atmosphere, interest and enliven fun. Excessive exaggeration most often results in laziness, procrastination and reluctance, so I do not recommend smoking them for more than 20 minutes.
Candle magic - Rituals
We already know that the intention chosen by us can be supported by certain colors, thanks to which the magic of candles is more effective. What remains to be understood is the ritual itself and the sequence of steps performed. In the next article, I will cover such important topics as preparing materials and the mind to make the ritual work as expected.
Candle shape
We already know the value of the flame and the properties of the materials that the candle can be made of. Some, however, want to go even further and assume that the shape of the candle is of great importance to the intention. This is a common mistake, since the magician's will and the purity of his intentions are in no way dependent on the shape he is using. This strange statement assumes that a person changes his thoughts under the influence of the appearance and form of the matter surrounding him. It is a bit as if a slightly deeper plate would make the dish more delicious.
If we think about it, we will have to accept some absurdities, e.g. inflammation of a huge wax dildo to stimulate libido. The question is - who will increase the drive at the sight of such a shaped candle? It doesn't matter how big the candle will be and how fanciful it will be, because all the energies happen at the level of conscious intention, not loose associations with the alluring shapes of the candles made.
A sphere, a drill or even a form of a totemic animal are only loose associations for a human and although they constitute support, they also weaken the will leading the intention to fulfill. It is important to realize that external forms are only an introduction to magic, but all magic happens within the conscious person.
