Candle Magic
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Candles are used in various ways by both neo-Pagans and neo-Pagan Witches. In Witchcraft consecrated white candles are placed on altars and at the four corners of the magic circle. When it is called for in ceremonial magic candles are positioned to form a pentacle. Candles are burned at all religious ceremonies. Colored candles are used in magical spells. The color has its own vibration, attribute, symbolism, and influence. Also, the colors correspond to the signs of the Zodiac; some signs have more than one color.
In preparing to cast a spell, the Witch may dress, or anoint, the candle with an anointing oil while concentrating upon the purpose of the spell. The spell’s purpose dictates the formula of the oil. Or, a Witch may scratch a wish on the candle. The procedures vary and may contain elements of folk and ceremonial magic.
