How many of you use candle magic for your own needs and wants? Is it right for you to use it for your own wants and needs, and if that is so do you get what is comeing to you?
Who dose candle magic for others and to help the world? Dose it feel good to help?
What kind of candle magic do you use? Do you use old candle magic or the new kind and if so do you do it alone or with others like a coven or order?
I dont do candle magick so the only part of this I can really comment on is what I know from people who do. It works as well as any other kind of magick because it's your intention and energy that makes the magick work. As for personal gain, it would depend I think on what your motives were. Some think magick cant be used for personal gain.
Sorry..had to go out and come back in.. I forgot what your other questions were lol. Anyway, for helping others and using groups to help the world.. I think it works. It's just that many more people focusing their intent on a common goal.
of course it feels good remember the rule of 3 what ever you do (positive as well as negitive) comes back to you times 3
I follow the rules only if i truly need it do i use it for personal gain and yes I usually do get whats coming I usually use it for other peoples needs
um i do it by myself and take requests I um don't do them often but when i do I can't be distracted! I use both old and new ^_~
Yes I use Candle Magick as one of my main rituals.
No, I do not work with others, I have been in Covens before and it has never gone well. I am a solitary.
I don't really believe in the 3fold law. I consider myself Pagan, not Wiccian.
Yes I have done rituals for others in my life when asked.
I use CandleMagick mainly for my rituals. I find that I use it both for me and for others, and i combine the spells i use, both old and new. Ive always been a solitary practitioner and im the only one i know in the small Pagan circle around here that uses candles exclusively. I love the feel of the power when i anoint the candles and the light them, and to see the results of my work when i do a spell.
Candle magic I use for only good intentions. Everyone who has used candle magic has really basically ansered the question. As long as you do no harm. Candle magic has worked for me.
Candle magik is neither new nor old, it merely acts as the conduit for the user themselves. But yes, I do, and daily.
I do use candle magic often and find it fun, and often very effective.
I also believe lighting candles for others is beneficial as it gives the mind something to focus on to enhance the positive power your directing.
I also find candle magic very good for counteracting negativity. :)
I have used candle magic and it has proven beneficial to me and others. I have only done it alone, though I would not mind sharing the experience with another.
Ok what but the candles that have a shape to them like a skull or cat?
DarkKali you asked a few up about shaped candles...yes. I have used human shaped candles for rituals as well as cat shaped ones.
I see no reason not to use whatever shaped is needed for a spell when I have the extra cash to buy them.
Candles are good to use as a focus, or to represent the fire element if using elemental magic, but they're not essential. And if you use candles for their color, make sure they're the same colour wax all the way through, not just coated. Thats a mistake quite a few new casters make.
The best candles to use, I think, are the natural honeycomb ones.
needs and wants, be carfule that your intent is right or you will find out rather fast that Karma is a bitch...333
the times that Iuse tools for spellcrafting I generally do use candle magicks as the primary focus.
I use candle magic for sabbats / esbats and for protection, prosperity, and healing spells. I am not really into divination.
I use candle magick for what i want or need, sometimes it is for good sometimes it is for negative, candle magick is only a tool a person uses to direct their magick...
I usually only use candles for the sabbat and other holidays and certain spells and not for personal gain.
I am a solitary practitioner and have used candle magic very successfully. Twice it has unquestionably manifested new jobs for me!
I speak only for myself. As a practioner of Black Magic, I use candles magic for my own wants and needs all the time.
i have used candle magic for a LONG time i have never done s spell for but for other people i have noticed that whenever i do a spell for someone within a week later something that was on my mind while i was doing the spell resolves itself
i never used candle magic before, as i quest to find information on it, and seek out others for there advice, what i was mainly told and taught that, you have to know what your doing when your going to cast something, it can come back to you 3 fold as im told.
it has been done but be warned, the spell comes back to the person who sent it.......thats what my guide told me once...
but i wouldnt play with a love spell...how would you know they really care for you if you casted a spell on to them?
i have not worked any spells in quight some time now but i used candle magic some of the time along side other spells
i did candle magic. the color candles go with the color spell. and any spell helps someone in some way. even a break-up spell.
so using candle magic, does one have to have certain things? can some things be subtituted?
i luv candle magic some are very effective i also use incence in my magic also which i have put one in my journal a very simple but strong spell. I use candles with all of my workings also when i use the oujia to it help to work better when you use candles with it.
sure it feels good to help someone .. though i use candles mostly for concentration
i often use candles in my own spellwork, but as to the fancy shaped ones, they are no more effective than the standard taper or votive. If you like to use them though you should. It is always nice too support your local occult store.
I don't exactly use candle magic... I do, however, light certain scents and colors for meditating. It seems to help me focus on what I need to de-stress about. :) I also use incense to help me focus.
Hey my Wife.....You should know I use candle magic sweety....The candles are my specialty and I only use them for good intentions :)
Using magic, particularity candle magic for personal reasons... as apposed to what? Call me crazy but if you are doing or using any kind of spell is it not for a personal reason... usually for betterment of yourself of a loved one?
I use candle magick frequently. You determine the color correspondence for the candle relating to the task at hand, black for absorbing evil or banishing or of course red for passion. Next determine the oil to anoint it with fire oil would be good for passion. Then dress the candle with the oil concentrating on the spell's intent to build your will and place it in the candle. Once prepared use it in your ritual. The preparation before hand is the biggest difference between candle magick and other magickal spells.
Yes, candle magic can be very helpful. However, there is one myth about candle magic. Colors! You do not have to use different color candles to coincide with special rituals. You should always use black! And thats a fact!
I use a lot of candle magic and in many ways.I have learnt from many and by trial and error over the years.
Also use it in Sacred Flames (SFR) Reiki.
Has heard of lighting a candle for tohers in the means of rememberence but has not of candle magic thinksimgonna have to do some reaserch on this to know more about it to discuss it further
I have only practiced magic for the good intentions of others and for the purpose of gaining knowledge
I light candles because they are relaxing. I also believe that they bring good luck. If used correctly I think they can be magical. I think they are good luck as well.
Yes, I do candle magick. I do it to help myself in times of nedd but I also do it to help those I care about as well. I have had great success with using this method. And it's so easy to learn.
I just realized something I don't have up on my pages on angelfire - Candles. Thank You
I personally only use a black and white candle. For reasons why you must understand the Satanic Bible and Rituals.
I used to use candles of all colors as all Pagans do.
i am still learning candle magic i mostly use it to help others and it feels very refreashing but you have to know what you are doing cause it could come back on you
I use candles for sending energies to my friends and family members, to help guide the spirit of a pet that has past on. Candles for me are used for aromatherapy, the soothing and relaxing mood that they can have on a person.
well I do use candles in certain spells or rituals . I use colored candles such as Black or Red or white etc.... I also usually make my own and they are stronger I feel if you do . I bless them and use certain things in each of the different candles I make to help enpower the ritual or spell....
Grant it is is usually just simple things not like curses or anything LOL any hoo.. to me candles help it to be more solid and powerful as to the out come...
All I know is that there is certain candles for certain spells in Wicca. Depending on the spell and the color of the candle outcomes are different. I know that also if you light a black or red candle it can bring negative energy, well in my case it does.
What is candle magic exactly? I don't really understand it.
I think this might help ...
http://www.wicca.com/celtic/bri/intro.htm
Candle magic was one of the first things that I learned years back. I use them when sending energies and rituals, to pay respect to the Gods.Each color is used for different purposes.
The Colors...
White White candles can be used for any work of meditation or magick. They can be used in place of every other color except black. They symbolize positive energy and good will.
Yellow Yellow is an expanding wave length. Use for the bringing about of desired results, for expanding and stimulating ritual purpose, specifically attraction and persuasion.
Orange Orange is again a stimulating color. Use for attraction of people or objects and to obtain desired results.
Gold Gold is for the attraction of wealth. Best used for drawing money, prosperity, and success.
Pink Pink candles are the gentle love candles. Use them for returning a lost love, bringing in a new love, releasing depression, and increasing friendship.
Red Red is a powerful energy candle. Use it for strength, emotional stimulation, generating power, sexual stimulation and love.
Green Green is the color of growth. Use green to promote health, finances, good luck, fertility; any goal requiring balance and renewal.
Brown The Earth candle. Use brown to ground. Use to create stability, security, or conversely, use brown to create instability and indecision.
Blue Blue is serenity, peace, and tranquillity. Use blue for creative expression, understanding, and patience.
Dark Blue This is the psychic candle. Use dark blue for wisdom and self-awareness. Use for protection, causing change, and building psychic abilities.
Purple Cosmic candle. Use purple for power, ambition, spiritual development, power over others, to connect with cosmic consciousness.
Black Black is the absence of all color, therefore the candle of negative power. Use to release all negative energies, to return negative energy, to absorb negative energies and to direct them.

Distortion... Candle magick is a way of sending energies or used in spells or rites. The many colors can represent several different aspects that are known through out the earth. Some use a green candle or brown candle to send thanks or give respect to the Earth. The color of the candle really depends on the back ground of your faith or what you beleive in. LDR has a wonderful link posted that will help answer alot of questions about the use of candles.
candle magic when used for others helps your energy be pure and it is a wonderful feeling. yes i believe in it.
I don't think using any magic for personal gain is right,I think nothing good comes from it and the price for doing it to me is not worth it.If I do candle magic for any one its for healing only not for harm.
i use it for personal gain but i do not use anything for harm to anyone, it will always bite bak. but also keep in mind to dress candles with the oils too. it helps to complete the circle for anything to work.
i used to do it but have been through a really bad patch not doing anything like that anymore but thanks guys i will probably do it again it is very serile and good to concentrate thanks
I myself think candles if oil is added is soothing and helps with rituals and spells.. I have one spell which is candle *blue* is really effective. For me it is hit or miss.. At times i miss but with practice i get it..
i agree i use candle magik for healin
meditation and pretection...
Candles are a focus point. Usually beginners do this type of magick but candles are used with other types of magickal systems as well such as hoodoo and many others. If it helps you with your workings I would say use them.
As for the colors, the meanings will vary dependent on the system you are using.
The three fold only applies to Wicca. Some use a ten fold rule and yet others believe that the dark and light is an illusion of the earth plane and all magick is gray magick more or less. Sorcery is always for self so its all dependent on what one believes. Some do not believe intent plays a part at all. You may have the best of intentions but if you don't carefully think about what you are putting out there it will backfire and you will be the reason. Its another belief call on this one.
Candles make good focus points and quite often used in ritual and ceremonial magick. I personally don't use them but if I thought I wanted to I would. I have many years ago though.
Here is a handy site that deals with the correspondences for colors of candles and has some of the rituals used for candles.
http://www.spelwerx.com/candle_colors.html
with different color candles have different resualts with spells.
if you were doing a healing spell you would want to use a light colour candle for a better result
i use spells and projection along with color and i make my own candles
How many of you use candle magic for your own needs and wants?
I have.
Is it right for you to use it for your own wants and needs, and if that is so do you get what is coming to you?
I believe it is alright, especially say if it is something as simple as a blessing or protection, and even meditation.
Who dose candle magic for others and to help the world? Does it feel good to help?
I have and of course it feels good. It always feels good to do something nice.
What kind of candle magic do you use? Do you use old candle magic or the new kind and if so do you do it alone or with others like a coven or order?
I actually have never really studied candle magic much. I just do it. It's more instinct then anything. And it has always been alone.
Any time I use Candel Magic, it's mostly for protection from evil, or assistance in a quest I will do....
I try not to use Magic for my personal gain....
Well for personal gain, no I don't think candles should be used for that.
Like say to win a lotto or whatever, love spell, blah blah.
the type of candle colour and scent play a big part in magic.also the age of the wax too
I have never used candle magic or heard of it for that matter I know candles that are used in rites and rituals but I didn't think people based magic just in the candles.
i use candle magic often .. to aid in healing and vision quests. and other rituals. depending on what i am seeking. depends of the color . or shape of the candle .. i use green when asking Bast for help. . yes it works .
Candle magic is just a part of the ritual.
I never considered it a ritual by itself.
More like a source of meditation about light and darkness.
You can call it magic, or you can call it ritual. Catholics and Anglicans light candles for people all the time- just like with other spiritualities- they are used as a focal point for your positive energy. Do they work- that's subjective :) I believe they do.
clandestine..well said.. its all about focusing your own person energy.. how ever you can do that.. thats "magic"
i have used candle magic once or twice . never for myself but for my friends. and i always do good for i need no bad in my life. some books i find usefull in the subject that have candle magic inthem are book of shadows by Migene Gonzalez-Wippler and the other one i charms spells & formulars by ray t malbrough. i have both books and find them very usefull hope it helps out a lil bit in your quest of candle magic
I actually have practiced candle magic before. Just one spell, but I have used it many times. It always worked, and I always give the credit to that focus I was able to have from using the candle... just knowing it was burning kept my positive focus going.
when i use candles it is with my coven. we use it to help use with dayly life. we try not to use just for personly gane. that could come back on you.

when i did magic i used candles to strengthen my spells.
I found when doing candle magic it that it worked better when I was trying to help another person with it then when I was using it to try help myself a little.
I believe that candles are just a way to focus your energies whether you are using them to do spells, meditate or just to relax.
So can anyone tell me what gives things such as candles and incense magical power? Why are they needed to perform magic? I think that perhaps it is to help with concentration.
i've only ever used candle magic for praying or blessing someone.
i have wanted to practice candle magic for a while now but i really do not have the time alone as i need.. but anyways id use any type of magic, wether it be for me or a spell on someone else, candle magic is strong, candle magic is basically considered a sympathetic magic right ? when i was starting to practice candle magic i got things to make my own candles as well its good to bless/cleanse your candles if you do not make them urself. being by yourself i feel better to be able to focus clear then with others around, im sure the power can be stronger with more then one person but it still feels good to be by yourself while practicing
i do not see nothing wrong with doing candle magick for one own self if it doesnt harm and doesnt go against any of the elements.
I do use candle majick for my own use and for others.. What suits the need. I also use my black and grey candles for black majick but always do a protection spell so not to have it come back at me.. *NOTE* I will never ever another, But will do something to warn them no messing w/ me or my family and friends. I am very good at what I do and careful .But not afraid to use what I have to make someone pay if need be.
MM, I use candle magick all the time, for my own purposes and for other purposes. Nothing wrong with using magick for your own purposes.....as it is based on need in the first place. I don't use magick for others unless I have their permission and if they have a need. Candle magick works if you focus your intent. It is a good idea to have basic color and scent correspondences when picking your candles.
BB, ~*V
I think that candlemagic is one of the most purest forms of magic and one that most should start out with, as it shows the symbolism of colors in association to each thinsg as well, and its a great wat to main stream into everything else.
I have used candle magick in the past and its been good. I do keep in mind the rule of three.
LDR, I feel that you are right about candle magick being better for starting out. The symbols and colors are looked into a little more then in some of the others. But all is good. I use candle magick on a regular basis. Whether sending energies to someone or for healing purposes or for helping pets cross over.
I only use candle magic as a component of ceremonial magic. My use has been with other members and individually.
I have not had the chance to use candle magic as of yet but I have heard a great many things about it. Yes it is selfish to use it for your own personal gain, but there are exceptions, to use a candle magic spell for personal protection is not really selfish as it is to help your self so that you can do more good for others, if you are around longer then you have more time to do good, and of course it feels good to do things for others or else no one would do it.
if i use candle magick i use it for healing or for strength. i try not to use it too much for personal gain
I do not use candle magic myself unless when we open a cerimoie then candles are lit
