Candle Magick
The popularity of candles has reached an all-time high. Candles are used by folks from all walks of life for relaxation, meditation, aromatherapy, and, most importantly, to achieve that “peaceful homey” feeling of being in your own sanctuary. This simple yet profound tool can make powerful magic. Take a moment and notice how candlelight transforms a dark room and fills the atmosphere with the energy of magical light. Suddenly the potential for transformation is evident.
Every candle contains all four elements:
Air: Oxygen feeds and fans the candle flame
Earth: Solid wax forms the body of the candle
Water: Melting wax represents the fluid elemental state
Fire: The flame sparks and blazes
Charging a candle means instilling it with magical intent. candle that has been charged fills your personal space with intention and expands it into all four elements and into the celestial sphere. Ritual candles are chosen for their colour correspondences and are carved, “dressed,” or anointed with special oils chosen for their particular energy. Anointing the candles with essential oils not only removes the negativity and other people’s energy but also diffuses your intent into it as you say your intent mentally while anointing it. I find it as a very potent healing tool to cut off all dark energies, stagnant energies and unwanted energies that are no more serving you. Such a candle has the power to remove illness, disease and even entities.
