Coming back to a safer community than some of my other social medias sites. I hope to share some art work (beginning artist here) , thoughts, ideas, questions and research on my beginning my witchcraft practice (also a beginner here) and just finding a community. I’ve missed this place.
Candles' Colours & Associations ❁ཻུ۪۪ ━
‧₊˚. : · •. * • ˚ . · * ✶ : · • * ˚ ✵
Candle magic, often referred to as "magick" (a common alternate spelling), offers an accessible and budget-friendly approach to spiritual practices. For centuries, people have incorporated candle rituals into their spiritual routines, making it an integral part of diverse traditions. Candles play a versatile role in various occasions like weddings, birthdays, spells, honouring deities and numerous other celebrations and rituals.
𖤣𖥧˚ Candle Colour Associations
Each candle colour is associated with distinct energies, intentions, and vibrations. Understanding these associations is essential for crafting meaningful candle rituals. Candles add rather than subtract to your spells, although candles aren't always necessary and you can use any candle and associate your own meanings for them, but here are some common candle colour associations:
White: Purity, spirituality, banishing, cleansing, unveiling, healing, truth, balance, innocence, clarity, peace, new beginnings, and illumination. It represents divine light and is often used for cleansing and invoking spiritual protection.
Red: Passion, love, courage, fire, lust, anger, revenge, sex, power, survival, change, action, assertiveness, and strength. Red candles are employed for matters of the heart, to enhance energy, and ignite motivation.
Orange: Success, enthusiasm, curiosity, change, opportunities, simulation, courage, and attraction. Orange candles are used to stimulate creativity and bring positive energy into endeavors.
Yellow: Creativity, joy, motivation, positivity, relieving negativity, energy, happiness, and clarity. Yellow candles can enhance mental clarity, increase focus, and bring a sense of joy and optimism.
Green: Growth, abundance, fertility, wealth, nature, naivety, healing, and prosperity. Green candles are used for attracting financial well-being and promoting healing and renewal.
Blue: Peace, healing, recollection, psychic growth, justice, study, mental blocks, guidance, calm, honesty, harmony, intuition, and communication. Blue candles aid in deepening meditation, enhancing psychic abilities, and fostering emotional balance.
Purple: Spirituality, wisdom, divination, and higher consciousness. Purple candles are associated with spiritual awakening and seeking inner wisdom.
Pink: Love (self-love), friendship, nurturing, and harmony. Pink candles are often used in rituals focused on self-love, compassion, and nurturing relationships.
Grey: Transmutation, patience, mediating, neutralizing, balance, stability, study, calm, balance, developing psychic abilities, and wisdom. Grey candles are useful when contemplating complex issues and can neutralize negative influences.
Brown: Wisdom, grounding, tenacity, perseverance, stability, rooted, security, woods, family, animals, pets, earth, material items, practicality, rediscovery, reconnection, and balance. Brown candles serve a dual purpose: safeguarding pets and family members, as well as facilitating reconnection with friends and loved ones.
Black: Protection, banishing, endings, absorbing, safety, binding, exorcism, release, death, healing, loss, and releasing negativity. Black candles are used for purification and breaking negative patterns. Some people will also use black candles for revenge spells (white too) or breaking hexes.
𖤣𖥧˚ Metallic Candle Colour Associations
Gold: Abundance, wealth, spiritual illumination, success, good fortune, happiness, ambition, luck, and the sun. Gold candles are used to invoke prosperity, celebrate achievements, and attract positive energies.
Silver: Intuition, self-reflection, perception, awareness, defend, send-back energy, protection, and emotional balance. Silver candles are employed for enhancing psychic abilities, connecting with lunar energies, and invoking the divine feminine.
Copper: Healing, vitality, emotions, autumn, new ideas, relaxation, combining, coming together, and energy balancing. Copper candles are utilized to promote physical healing, boost energy levels, and restore equilibrium.
Bronze: Grounding, strength, autumn, foundation, and courage. Bronze candles are associated with stability, courage, and protection during challenging times.

Hearth & Home Witchcraft That I've Learned
One of the biggest things that stands out to me when reading about hearth & home witchery is that everyday items are considered magical. Everyday moments, tasks, and chores as well. Its a beautiful way to live, if you really think about it. Big rituals are great, but as someone who is disabled, they rarely are doable. Here is a list of Hearth & Home Witchcraft Tips that i actually practice.
-Enchant a blanket by embroidering a sigil in the corner and using its color correspondences for your needs. It also helps me feel shielded from negative energy during meditation.
-Play music that makes you feel safe and AT HOME. This is almost like grounding, but also can be cleansing to the environment and especially the listeners. For me, its smooth jazz. The chill sound of the standup bass and the wandering piano notes that always seem to find their way to a comfortable key... its soothing to my soul.
-Talk to and about your home (kindly). So often its easy to complain about your living space. How you wish it looked or functioned differently. The house (in my belief) hears you. Treat it with kindness and gratitude for the shelter it provides. I say thank you to the house spirits and my home every morning.
-Find a convenient home protection ritual to do each month. I say convenient because if you overcomplicate things you'll feel less enthusiastic and less motivated to do it, and might even skip several months.
-Make a home cleansing spray using essential oils mixed with an appropriate amount of moon water. I like using a few drops of lemon, rosemary, lavender, and cinnamon. DO NOT spray this in the vicinity of your pets. I only use this spray in rooms where there arent any animals, to avoid complications with their health.
-Wash your bedding as often as you can and say a short incantation before you put it in the wash. It could go something like this. "I cleanse this bedding of all negative energy, from bad dreams, and from and all stress." Sleep is so important to your sense of safety and wellbeing at home.
-Open the damn windows when you can! Stagnant energy is known for dragging down people's moods. And there's nothing quite as uplifting as fresh air. This provides a healthy flow to your house's energy.
-Don't bring things in your home unless you want to incorporate their energy into your environment. This is something that's often overlooked. I especially advise heavy consideration when it comes to thrifting items and bringing them home. Try practicing sensing the energy of items so you can easily tell whats good to bring home and whats not. Thrifting is great! Im not discouraging it btw.
-Fresh flowers work miracles. Not only do they aesthetically brighten the room, but their correspondences and magical properties apply to the room that they're in. Sunflowers are a great example of a flower that encourages positivity, and are extremely affordable to get lots of them. Roses are a bit more expensive usually, but they invite that loving vibe. And African irises are great for psychic enhancement.
Thats all for this post! Reblog it if you found it helpful, or have any of your own cool practices for hearth & home witchcraft to share!
Today, I did my first home cleansing. I wanted protection around us and our home as we begin the process of moving out. We have quite a few more months to go but there is so much to do. With management and maintenance that is uncaring where we currently live, I am wary of the remaining months we have left here.
Since this was the first time I’ve actually done a cleanse like this (I’m sure I was quite clumsy at it) I wanted to make sure it worked. To my delight, the oracle card I pulled right after the cleansing was the protection card. Letting me know that my space and my people are protected. That was a powerful validation and I am grateful for it. Here’s to moving forward with the next step.

Also…follow-up on my psychic journey…I finally got through the first exercise! It took a long time and Mat Auryn was correct…it sounds easier than it actually is…it’s making me worry about the remainder of the book!
Psychic Journey
I have, in the past year, felt more and more drawn to witchcraft and have had the very strong desire to truly learn it and incorporate it in my life. As someone who grew up in a very fundamentalist Christian church...this was hard to reconcile. (It's probably why I'm just getting back around to it now.) However, I plowed on...
That has brought me to where I am today. I have had many ups and downs in this journey over the last year to a year and a half and, for the most part, I haven't done much with it because I had no idea where to begin. There is a lot of information out there but a lot of it centered around spell work, talking to spirits, gathering tools, telling me about how to set up an altar, and so much more. However, none of it told you how to do it and to do it safely. I felt like I floundered so much that I just stopped trying for a while.
Recently, I have found that I am back again seeking knowledge and trying to make sense of it all. This time around, however, I have found several practitioners on YouTube that have seemed to delve more into what I am looking for and feeling drawn to...it has been almost a relief. I feel like I'm on the right track.
One of the best things about this path forward, I am hearing from the direction of these "voices from the 'Tube'"...lol...is them telling me (and anyone else who cares to listen) to start with the basics. This is something I really needed to hear. What are the basics? They are to first...research (everything), learn the history of witchcraft, the different traditions and the different practices. Make sure you cross-reference your material (including your YouTube voices) and find out why you do what you are being told to do. Does it fit? Is it something I should be practicing? Am I appropriating another culture/belief?
Other things to be aware of is to make sure you know how to center and ground yourself. Know how to control energy and PRACTICE this often. This will become an integral part of doing spell work and so many other things that it is essential. This brings me to why I am writing this today...
One of the loudest recommendations I have heard as I delve back into this journey is to grab this book, 'Psychic Witch' by Mat Auryn and go through ALL of the exercises, in order. I don't need tools and I can take my time...even if it takes a year (or more). I am here for this...taking one step at a time and really solidifying the basics and not feeling as if I need to rush through any of this. Do I want to move quickly through these things? Yes, of course there is that desire but I am also such a stickler for learning things properly...especially when it comes to this practice.
So...as I dive into this book, I plan to write some of my observations here and to probably put my more personal thoughts and experiences in my Book of Shadows. In that vein...I'll start with the first thing I highlighted in this book. "...the simple truth that to be a witch is to be psychic..."
Well then...let's get started, shall we?
