Candle Correspondence Table
Written and Compiled by George KnowlesCandles have long been used in association
with magick and witchcraft, as indeed they have been adopted and used by many
other religions for spiritual communication. Candle magick is probably the oldest and
simplest form of ritual magick still performed today. Ever since fire was
discovered, the naked flame has been regarded as sacred. In ancient times
they used to light touches to invoke the Goddess and Gods. Today we symbolize those acts by utilizing
candles. The naked flame remains the finest and easiest means of focusing
in on power and energy. The use of differently coloured candles
symbolizes the nature of intent and ultimately the outcome of a particular
spell. Coloured candles are therefore used to pinpoint our focus on a
particular deity or planetary association. We need to understand the
colour properties and other associations of candles to make magick work. Below is a list of candles and their associations. For other associations and correspondences see: Incense / Colours / Magickal Days / Stones and Gems / Tools of a Witch / Elements and Elementals
