Candle Colors For Candle Magick
Colors can play a role in
visualizing our intent for each candle spell. This list of candle colors and
their magical purposes is from the book 'Earth, Air, Fire & Water' by Scott
Cunningham. Scott Cunningham’s books are wonderful resources.
Use these color recommendations as a
guide, but always go with your intuition for the most effective color
choice when creating your unique ritual or spell.

sex; passion; courage; protection, and defensive magic. This color is the
