Candles in Magick: Color and Shape

****Common Sense Warning****

Never leave candles unattended. All ways burn candles away from children and pets. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Use caution when working with anything on fire.

Candles play a critical role in many rites, rituals, celebrations, divination, and sorts of craft. It's good to understand that the spells are not limited to their uses. Creating a strong basis with both of these applications can enable you to grow your own magic and intuitions, rather than merely copying others. The most important aspect to first address is the significance of the shades of the candles. While it differs and the list given is by no way a full list, it is a clear explanation of the colors of the candle. That will give you an indication of which colors to use while creating your own magic in the scenario. The shape of the candle does not need much attention; instead, it is more important to choose the best hue for your case. In fact, anything can be used to perform a spell casting session, whether it's long, short, circular or square.
