Candle Colors & Meanings

Color is one of the most important correspondences in candle magic. Each color carries specific energies and intentions.

Choosing Candle Colors

When selecting a candle for spellwork, consider what energy you want to invoke. If you're unsure or don't have the right color, white candles can substitute for any other color.

Trust your intuition, if a color feels right for your intention even if it's not traditionally associated with it, go with your instinct.
