MEANINGS FOR CANDLE COLORS

The colors of candles have a long history. People for centuries have burned different colors of candles to attract desired emotions, material wealth, or karma. Candles can be one of the most effective tools we can use to set the mood and atmosphere for meditation, rituals and other ceremonies. The size of the candles you use are not as important as the colors you choose. Of course you need to use fresh candles (virgin), or ones that you have been using for decorative purposes. This is to avoid having the candle being infused with negative energies and vibrations, which could interfere with your rituals, and that could have adverse effects on the desired outcome of your ritual. Never use matches to light your candle (sulfer is a banishment tool and will render the affects). Never blow out your candle, use a sniffer of some kind. You need to establish a psychic link between the candle and yourself. Remember magick comes back to you in three times fold, so do not put negative energies on to another.. and be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. Be specific in your desires/wishes, and don't be too greedy.

I have have had my best success with candles by burning them daily between 9:00pm and Midnight, for at least one hour. Be careful not not burn past midnight (bewitching hours), or you might adverse the affect.

Tips

1) Tape a sheet of colored glass, plastic, or even tissue paper over a window. Get a glass of water and let the light fall on it. Let the color light fall on you as well, and you will see an improvement of whatever color you choose to do on yourself.

2) CHARGING WATER: Ordinary water can be your perfect medicine. Put the color paper on the top of the glass so the water looks like that color. Let it charge. Make sure you picked the right color! Drink the water 3 times a day.

3) If your feeling down and out, drink red water. It will pep you up. If you have trouble sleeping, drink indigo water or blue.
