Kinds and Colors of Candles

           Usually, candles are made from paraffin, stearite, or beeswax.  Some of us have preferences based upon the ingredients, but no one kind is more spiritual than another.  Certainly, using beeswax is good, because it avoids petroleum products, but the bottom line is that wax is wax; it is the power with which you imbue it that makes it different.  Also, the size of the candle does not dictate its power, only how long it burns.  Therefore, if you need more than a zap of power and your request may not happen overnight, you may need a longer burning candle.

           The shapes of candles vary greatly.  Usually, candles are tapers, pillars, or globes. They can also be made in all kinds of shapes such as cats, skulls, mummies, genitals, or human figures. Other candles are poured into glass.  The glass can be printed or adorned with labels depicting religious figures.  We use a "7-day pull out" for candle carving.  This is a large candle in a glass tube or jar.  It burns for approximately 7 days.  "Pullout" refers to the candle's ability to come out of the glass. For Candle Magick, if you cannot get a pullout, any candle upon which you can carve will do.  

            Choosing a color with which to work is one of the most important steps in the magical process.  Color, through energy, evokes emotion and an altered state. Color is light and light is energy.  The work of a candle is moving energy and translating energy into will - and therefore performing magic.
