Emporiblog - Candle Magic Colours

-
Hello all!! Today's post is all about candles and what their corresponding colours mean. Candle magic has been around for hundreds if not thousands of years and constantly evolving yet, one of these candle traditions has persisted into the modern era. Ever made a wish and blown out the candles on a cake? Yep, that's candle magic 😉 Basic spell candles are standard candles about 4 inches tall and half an inch wide (see above) and each colour corresponds to a magical use.


White 

White is considered a master colour, meaning that it can be substituted for any colour you don't specially have. It can also be used for cleansing and purification. If you're using white for a stand in try to have something of the colour you want it to represent nearby or very carefully carve the colour name into the candle. White can also be used in moon rituals.

Black

A lot of people think black candles are associated with " dark/black magic" and warn against using them but this is an uneducated bunch of nonsense. Black candles can in fact be used for good, such as, protection rituals, uncrossing and warding off negativity. (If you choose to use a black candle in a hex, remember what you cast will return 3 fold!!)

Green

Green is the colour of Earth and growth. It can also be used in money spells/rituals to bring luck with money or a business venture and it can be used for fertility. 

Purple

Purple can be used for getting in touch with your intuition. It's also good for adding a boost to creativity. Purple can also be used to boost psychic abilities.

Pink

Pink is the colour we associate the most with love and can be used for self care. It can be used to nurture a relationship and bring empathy and understanding and also bring healing to the relationship in question. (Separate post on love spells at a later date)

Red

Red can also be used for relationship rituals, mainly for passion as it's a stronger colour than pink. It can also be used for energy and strength. If you need an extra boost for a tough task ongoing or ahead, red is the colour to use.

Orange

Orange is another one for creativity, especially those with writer's block!! I would also use this for Autumn rituals since orange is associated with the time of the year especially Samhain.

Yellow

Yellow is for abundance and joy. It can be used in rituals/spells to help someone battling depression or if you're just going through a rough patch and need a little ray of sunshine. I would also use this in spring/summer rituals along with green. Yellow is also used to represent air.

Blue

Blue connects your chakras and can help with emotional healing. It can also be used for peace, protection, wisdom and inspiration. Blue is also the colour of water. 

Brown

Brown is used for help with resources like health, energy, possessions, pets endurance and courage. If you find yourself short of something, light a brown candle and ask for help. They can also be used with green candles for Earth rituals/spells.

Ivory

Ivory/Cream coloured candles are the candles of opulence. Burn a green and an ivory candle together at the same time to attract wealth/fortune, abundance, and luxury/opulent items! Also use when carrying out full moon rituals, or when you want to call upon deities associated with the moon/stars.


There are many more colours but I thought I'd stick to the most commonly used ones so you don't get overwhelmed!! If you think of a specific colour that you would like to be added to the list, please let us know in the comments!! We currently have a limited supply of spell candles on our website (Link at the bottom) so head over there while stocks last 😉



Budget witch tip

If you're on a budget or in a hurry, stop at your local store and purchase some birthday cake candles, they're about the right size, plus you can get a few at a time!



There will be further posts on candle magic covering topics from the basics to more advanced tips so keep your eyes peeled!!


Never leave a candle unattended and keep under constant supervision!!


Blessings,

Emporiblog - Which Witch Closed Edition - Draconic

-

Hello all!! Today we're returning to our Which Witch Closed Edition series and kicking off our Dragon series!! DISCLAIMER: This is a closed practices and cannot be practiced by everyone, including myself! I have done my best to research as much as possible but since I cannot practice this, resources are limited. Draconic Witchcraft centers around Dragons and not necessarily the ones you've seen on TV and in books. Dragons are completely separate entities and working with them isn't for the faint of heart or something that just anyone can do as Dragons are very picky and secretive when it comes to working with people. Draconic Witchcraft is a closed practice but not for the same reasons as our previous practices, it's not tied to a specific ethnicity, place of origin or bloodline; it is closed because you can only become a Draconic Witch with the following 2 requirements: - The Dragons choose you - You must be able to read energy As I stated before, Dragons ...

Earthing

(Photo Credit: Kerenza Jinks) Earthing Although many people see grounding and earthing as the same thing, I do not.  Allow me to elaborate. To me, grounding is a spiritual thing, whereas earthing is a physical one. Although, both can be practiced together. Yes, I'm confused too. I have confused myself!! So, I will try and explain what I see as the difference. Our post on grounding is here . To me, grounding is a practice of getting rid of unwanted energy, it helps me when I feel anxious, overwhelmed or am overthinking. Yes, I go outside to do this quite often, but that is not a necessary practice. I can also meditate to achieve this   Grounding meditation on YouTube . Essentially, grounding helps calm me down, whereas Earthing gives me energy. In walking barefoot on the ground, I feel that I can draw up energy from the Earth herself, and this can be enough to allow me to face a busy day with positivity. Basically, I Earth to feel more energetic, and ground to rid myself of unw...

Hello all! We're kicking off the festive season with a post on Snow Magick! We will also cover ice as well since the two go hand in hand! So, the easiest point to cover is that both snow and ice are different forms of water and can be used in water rituals and magick as a whole as well as for their own individual uses. We have several posts on the uses of water for those who want some extra reading! Snow/Ice is also associated with the following: - Winter - Death - Preservation  - Transformation As well as many deities and beings ( Krampus comes to mind) But, let us look at the uses of snow within the craft... 1 : You can use snow to make a poppet! That's right, you can make a temporary poppet in your own garden by building a snowman or several and enchanting them to protect your property. You can also make regular sized poppets, enchant them and melt them 2 : Get rid of unwanted behaviours by enchanting a snowball or placing a piece of paper into a snowball and t...
