Blending the elements of fire and air to evoke the spirit of the witch or sorcerer, candles serve to focus the spirit and send the desires of the caster to the heavens. Each color of candle serves a different role for the magician, though each color also has a variety of uses an aspiring magician should consider. When creating your own rituals, use the following list as a guideline for your candle love spells and candle magick. However, also listen to your intuitive sense, as it is the link between you and the supernatural world.

Red is the color of health and vitality. It inflames the soul and strengthens it against negative or corrupting influences. Red is also the color of passion and sexual congress. It is the color most strongly associated with the element of Fire. Light a red candle before a task which requires courage and a steadfast heart, such as a job interview or a first date.

Pink is the color of connections. Like red, it represents love—nurturing and communication that is as important to true love as one's physical attraction and magnetism. They also bolster confidence in oneself. Light pink candles before ceremonies that emphasize the bonds between people, such as marriage ceremonies.
Orange is the color of energy and attention. Burn an orange candle to attract influences or objects. For instance, a spell that is designed to locate a lost object may require orange candles. It can be combined with other colors to strengthen the power of that color.

Yellow is the color of discovery and knowledge. It improves ones visualization and locomotion. It is the color most commonly associated with the element of Air. Light a yellow candle before studying and your recognition will improve—it's especially useful for the serious magical practitioner.

Green is the color of prosperity, growth, and fortune. It is also associated with healing, like blue candles are. It is the color most commonly associated with the element of Earth. Light it before undertaking a task related to money, such as a job search.

Blue is the color of happiness and relaxation. It promotes healing and strengthens your mental link to the supernatural world. If you have trouble sleeping, project your desire for sleep into a lit blue candle for a few minutes before getting into bed, before putting it out. Blue candles also enhance one's natural spiritual awareness. Favor light blue candles over the dark blue, as they are more uplifting.

Violet is the color of power. Whereas blue candles increase one's awareness of the spiritual world, a violet candle increases one's magical prowess. Violet is another candle that can be burned alongside other candles for more potent spells. For instance, when casting a healing spell, burn a violet candle alongside a blue one. The violet strengthens the caster's desire to cast a powerful healing spell.

White is the color of purity and unity, as it contains all colors. It is also associated with illumination and truth. They are often used for defensive and purification rituals. Light them if you believe you will soon come into contact with unclean things or dark temptations.

Black is the color of absence, or the ending of an existence. However, this does not necessarily mean it is bad! Black can end bad things (such as a streak of bad luck) as well as good. Burn a black candle to absorb negative influences that are already present, as a black colored object absorbs all light.

Brown is the color of the natural world. It is associated with animals in particular. Combine this color with the colors listed earlier to apply your spells to the natural world instead of to other people or yourself.
