Candles are pleasant to burn. Just the sight or the feel of a candle burning can change the mood in a space. Often used to focus the mind in meditation, prayer or in acts of spirit or magic, candles are often symbolic of spirit or energy. They can also represent all the five elements.

But Candle magic is not as esoteric as you might think. If you've ever lit birthday candles, made a wish and then blown them out, you've participated in the most popular candle ritual in the world!

Prior to using your candle in magical workings you should cleanse the candle with smoke and anoint it with magical oil. This is done during the waxing phase of the moon.
