candle magic

Flame-based ritual practice

Candle magic is a form of folk magic or spiritual practice that uses candles as focal points for intention-setting, prayer, or ritual.

Practitioners select candles by color, anoint them with oils, and burn them while concentrating on desired outcomes—love, prosperity, protection, healing.

The tradition spans many cultures and appears in practices from Hoodoo to Wicca to Catholic devotional candles.
