Candle colours in witchcraft - what does each one mean?
it's not just aesthetics! In candle magick, colour carries energy and intention. Here's your quick reference guide 🌙✨
◽White - Purification, peace, new beginnings, and protection. The all-purpose candle. White can substitute for any colour in a pinch.
◼Black - Banishing, protection, releasing negativity, and shadow work. Black absorbs and transforms, a deeply powerful colour, not something to fear.
🔴Red - Passion, love, courage, vitality, and desire. Used in love spells and rituals calling for bold energy and strength.
🩷Pink - Gentle love, self-care, friendship, and compassion. Where red is fiery, pink is soft and nurturing, perfect for healing the heart.

⭐Yellow - Intellect, clarity, communication, and joy. Linked to the sun and air element, ideal for study, travel, and mental focus.
💚Green - Abundance, money, fertility, growth, and healing. One of the most-used colours in prosperity and nature magick.
🔷Blue - Calm, truth, wisdom, healing, and psychic awareness. Light blue soothes; dark blue deepens intuition and spiritual connection.
💜Purple - Psychic power, divination, spirituality, and wisdom. The colour of the third eye, ideal for meditation and connecting with higher realms.
💿Silver - The moon, intuition, dreams, and the divine feminine. Used in lunar rituals and to enhance psychic gifts.
