| Candle Magic and Healing |
| For many centuries now people from all denominations have been using candles for prayer, magic and healing. Wiccans/Pagans, Jews, Catholics, Anglican, Mormons, Spiritual churches, Buddhists and many more. No matter your demonination, you too, can use candles for simple magic and/or healing. Another thing I like about candle rituals is it helps you feel as though you are doing something. eg. You can actually partake in healing a friend, giving them comfort etc. Much better than just saying 'I hope things work out for you!'. A friend is dying, you feel so useless, well, with a simple candle ritual you can help her/him come to terms with their illness and prepare themselves for their transition to the Summerlands/Nirvana/Heaven. It really helps you to help them and cope with your own worries and fears for them. You see? You ARE doing something more than just praying for them. But please remember anything you put out comes back to you three times three or as buddhists say KARMA keeps track of everything! So, the Spell, Protection and Healing candle rituals I share here today are good, simple rituals that will only benefit you, your family or loved ones. I'll start by telling you which candles to use for these rituals. VOTIVE or NIMBIN candles are best for these rituals. They are relatively small and burn out within a few hours. Regular Taper candles or big fat candles burn for days and do not serve our purpose here. We want to light our candle, do the ritual and have the candle burn itself out within a few hours so we can get on with our day, or go to bed! LOL. ALWAYS allow the candles to burn out completely blowing them out simply extinguishes all the power raised for the ritual. If you suddenly have to go out and therefore must extinguish the candle, use a candle snuffer or wet your fingers to dampen out the flame. Then when you are home again and ready to continue the ritual you may relight the candle , say the chant/prayer a few more times and let it continue doing it's work. CANDLE COLOURS AND THEIR MEANING Colours really are significant when using candles. Each colour represents the purpose of your candle. If at any time you can't find a particular colour, substitue it with WHITE. BLACK Banishment BLUE Healing, Truth Inspiration. GREEN Abundance, Fertility, Good Luck, Harmony, Money. BROWN Healing for Animals, Home. ORANGE/GOLD Positive Thinking, Justice, Luck, Power, Goddess. PINK Love and Friendship PURPLE Spiritual Power, Psychic Ability, Knowledge. RED Sexual Energy, Strength, Courage. SILVER Channeling, Clairvoyance, Astral Energies. WHITE Purity, Peace, Protection. YELLOW Communication, Happiness. DAYS OF THE WEEK Sunday Success, Ambition, Career, Sport, Healing. Monday Psychic Powers, Clairvoyance, Home, Childbirth, Feminie Qualities. Tuesday Courage, Men, Sexual Energy, War. Wednesday Communication, Education, Travel, Mental agility, Writing, Acting. Thursday Expansion, Wealth, Politcal Power, Law, Business, Insurance Matters. Friday Love, Beauty, Music, The Arts, The Environment. Saturday Karma, Property, Inheritance, Agriculature. BUT, if you urgently need to do a healing ritual or something, can can do it anyday, and then perhaps do it again on the correct day. A couple of simple rules. Common sense when using flame. NEVER leave a candle unattended. ALWAYS put candle in proper candle holder. If you have done a ritual, then decided you wish to leave it burning whilst you go do something else, I suggest you put the candle (still in it's candleholder) in the kitchen or bathroom sink to burn relatively safely whilst unattended, just be sure there is nothing that could be blown onto or near the flame - like curtains or paper. FINAL NOTE - I, along with many friends have had candle rituals work for us or those we care about. They really do work if you concentrate, meditate properly. |
