Ethics are the Most Important Thing to Consider with Candle Magick
Magic is About Ethics, Healing, and Change. Always try to think of a way to achieve your goal in the most healing, ethical, and positive way. Magic, itself, is neither good nor bad. What you do with it determines whether it is black, white or gray magic. Your intentions make a candle good or evil.
Examine your everyday ethics. Do you consider yourself to be ethical and dedicated to good?
Sometimes, we might do things in an easy way, instead of an ethical way. This choice can be made at the cost of deep learning. For example, if you ordered some items from a company and they did not charge you for all of them,it would be tempting to keep the free items without telling the company. Since they were a rich monopoly, you could justify your theft. If you tell the company, they might surprise you by letting you keep the items free of charge. They might not, but you will feel better dealing with it. Choices to be honest keep your mind clear for more essential functions.
Every unethical choice you make hangs on you like a little dark badge on your knit sweater. The sweater ultimately gets very heavy and very dark, and needs a good wash. You become very unhappy and things aren't going right. Maybe your sweater even smells and repulses your lover. Now you're in a fine mess and it started with small things and metaphorically accumulated blackness. This blackness is a burden, weighing you down. Freedom consists of always choosing the higher path. This means not lying, cheating, stealing, of course, not hitting, maiming, or killing.
