Candle Magic for Your Enchanted Life: Change the Energy in Your Home for the Better

CANDLES AND LIGHT

Candles are a simple yet profound tool that can make powerful magic.  Today, candle magic is used daily by folks of all walks of life for peace of mind, respite, contemplation, and aromatherapeutic healing.  Candlelight transforms a dark room and illuminates the air with energy.  Suddenly, the potential for a mystical realm is evident as you start to feel the latent power.  A spell, prayer, or ritual lit by a single candle has the potency of all the stars in the sky.  Candles contain the following four elemental energies:

·       Air: oxygen feeds and fans the candle flame

·       Earth: the solid wax that forms the candle

·       Water: the melted wax is the fluid elemental state

·       Fire: the spark and blaze of the candle flame

Charging Your Candles

“Charging” a candle means to imbue it with magical intent.  A candle that has been charged carries that intention through all four elements and up to the heavens and fills the very air of your sacred space with your magic.  Spell work and ritual candles are chosen for their color correspondences, and then they are “dressed”, or anointed with the energy of an essential oil.  Each color holds the intrinsic vibratory energy of different colors and their magical properties.
