Types of Candles



Candle magic can also depend on the type of candle used. Throughout this post refer back to the Color Correspondence post to match up these situations to better suit your needs. The more exact your spell the better the outcome.


Double Action Candles :

These are always one color on top of another, half and half. In these ones, black removes the bad out of that situation, and the other color attracts it. Always use different sigils on each half to enhance this affect by consecrating the candle for the specific work.


Red - marriage problems, divorce clearing, moving past a broken heart, removing damaging personal habits before starting a new relationship.


Green - changing irresponsible financial patterns, money worries, picking yourself back up after bankruptcy, living without alimony, monetary lawsuits, job concerns


White - All purpose, bad habits, breaking hexes


Blue - Emotional pain, physical healing,


Purple - Psychic attacks


There are also road opener candles that are orange in the bottom and the other color on top. Orange is the color to overcome, so every other color is to overcome obstacles in that particular situation.



Figure Candles :

These are vast and almost impossible to list, but here are some of the most common


Seven Knob Wishing Candle - burned for seven days, for seven different wishes, or for seven-fold strength on the same wish. Each knob can be a different color, or any combination of colors that fit your need.


Bride and Groom - these are for couple magics, again almost any color can be used. You can also substitute two people candles and wrap a cord or ribbon around them to signify unity.


Lovers - new relationship, repairing relationships, etc. You can also use two people candles facing towards each other


Divorce Candle - Always black, this is the exact opposite of the Bride and Groom and depicts the couple facing away. You can also use two separate people candles spaced apart.


Male and Female - Used for work on a specific person, can be color combinations, or singular for any given purpose, but the magic is done on them.


Penis and Vagina Candle - These relate to sexual behaviors to stop cheating or to seduce a lover. You can even affect the person's performance.


Religious Symbol Candles - all things spiritual.


Master Hand Candle - these are used to either gain control over a situation or to bless another spell or situation.


Eye in Pyramid Candle - burned for money spells


Seven Day Candles - Large pillar or glass encased candles used to draw out a spell so that the effect is longer lasting. These can be used the same as the Seven Knob Candle, or can be sectioned out into any amount of sections necessary.


Heart Candles - For love or emotional spells


Votive candles - These are more for offerings or petitions.


Angles - For angelic work and petitions.


You can pretty much find a candle in any shape and use it for some kind of an intention, from trees and pine comes for Yule pumpkins for Samhain or animals figures for spiritual guides, the list is literally endless.
