How to Use Candle Colors in Practice ✮⋆˙
Decide on your goal for the ritual or spell. Align it with the corresponding candle color.
☽ Cleansing and Charging:
Before lighting, cleanse your candle by passing it through the smoke of sage or incense. Hold it in your hands and visualize your intention, “charging” it with your energy.
Anoint the candle with oil (like olive or lavender oil) while focusing on your intent. This enhances the connection between your energy and the candle's purpose.
When you’re ready, light the candle and let it burn completely, if possible. Never leave it unattended,always remember to be safe when working with fire!
