| The following color
scale is best suited to the Goddess. It is in the Wiccan tradition that
candles are integral to the workings of Magic. Candles may be used as a representation of the element of fire. The colors of the candles that are used indicate the will and illustrate the purpose of a ritual or ceremony. Any Wiccan knows that candles will not only set the atmosphere, but will enhance any Magical workings. Practically every religion uses candles to this effect. The Christians as well as the Pagans share this practice. The Oriental as well as the Occidental. The best example of the use of color is the universal belief that a white candle is a sign of purity and hope. Even groups that are not of a particular religious character will use a white candle. Examples abound. Amnesty International will burn white candles as a symbol against oppression. Right to life advocates will use a white candle as an instrument that focuses attention on their beliefs. The Catholic Church uses a white candle on their Alter, and as a symbol for remembrance of the departed. This Scale of Color is mostly derived from the Kabballistic Queen scale of color. It is that which is employed by the Highest Feminine principles.
