Candles

One of the most easiest arts of natural magick is candle magick. It is easy
because it uses little ritual and few ceremonial tools. The tools for candle
 magick can be purchased just about anywhere. Most of us have performed
 our first act of candle magick by the time we are two or three. Blowing 
out the candles on our birthday cake and making a wish is pure magick. 
This childhood custom is based on the three magickal principles of concentration,
 will power and visualisation. The candles you use for any type of magickal
 use should be unused. There is a good reason for not using anything but new
 virgin materials in magick, vibrations picked up by using secondhand materials
 or equipment may disturb your workings and impair their effectiveness. 
Candles have been used as part as religious ceremonies since the earliest times,
 principally because they represent the power of light, knowledge and spiritual
 illumination. Candles used in magickal rituals need to burn down, even if it
 takes all night. Incidentally, candles should be lit with matches, because they 
are made from the natural element of wood, rather than with a lighter, which
 contains petrol pollutants. Colour contains an important part of magick 
making and each colour has its own magickal meaning. Witches generally 
have an array of different coloured candles to use for different spells. Colour 
was used by the ancient Egyptians in their temples for healing. In India 
colour is associated with the chakras, which are the energy centers of the body.
 Many other ancient cultures also associated colour with energy, as colour 
effects our moods and feelings. Colour can stimulate the power within. Using
 coloured candles and oils aid in enhancing the overall effect of the magick ritual,
 particularly since lighting candles represent the time to usher in the illumination
 of the soul.
