This blog post is regarding the differences in Specialty Candles, also known as “Condition” or “Blessed Candles”. You have all seen these in your spiritual supply or occult shop; these are the ones with the brightly colored and sometimes highly artistic labels that gives the purchaser an immediate idea of the candle’s intention. Some are rather plain, but the more artwork in the label, the more eye catching and appealing the candle. I know people who have purchased the candle for the artwork alone, never intending to actually use the candle!

Imagine it is 4:30 pm on a Sunday and you have just gotten off the phone with a reading or consultation with your personal favorite spiritual intercessor, mentor or just Aunt Sally, the-one-who-know-all. She has given you a list of things to buy or gather together and instructions for you to do. You are going to the grocers, the craft store, the art store, liquour store, smoke shop – whatever – and you forget that the little old candle shop on the south side is closed on Sunday. However, TODAY is the day you need to begin your candle burning spell.

What are you going to do? How do you substitute or change out one candle for the other in a pinch?

Here is a list of basic candles and their colors that you can substitute for all matters of candle burning. While this is not intended to steer you away from buying those candles with the great graphics on them, it is a way to start your candles burning until you are able to get to Sister Jone’s occult shop down on Broadway and 1st Avenue. Worse case scenario, you can get a bunch of votive or taper candles (whichever you like) at the Dollar Store.

Here are candles you can use “in a pinch”:

Attraction Spell Candle - depending on intention, use green glass candle for money, red glass candle for fast love or money luck, white glass candle for general overall attraction purposes.

Boss Fix Candle Spell - use plain white glass candle

Court Case Candle Spell - use brown glass candle or since these are rare to find in the grocer’s, use plain white glass candle.

Crown of Success or Success Candle Spell - (sometimes known as Crown of Glory) use plain yellow glass candle

Look at Me or Look Me Over Candle Spell - use pink glass spell for romance and affectionate feelings. Use red glass candle for pure sex appeal.

Money Drawing Candle Spell - use green glass candle

Prosperity Candle Spell - use green glass candle

Wealthy Way Candle Spell - use green glass candle

Revenge Candle Spell - use any black candle

When considering candles to use for your spiritual purposes, sometimes people get confused on the kind of candles to use.  I would have to say that a great number of spiritual workers, root workers, conjurers and others use what is commonly known as the “7 – Day Novena Glass Candle” (see photo). These can be obtained just about everywhere and I encourage my own clients to seek them out at Walgreen’s or WalMart. Of course, when it is a specific candle, such as a reversible or black candle, then if no other spiritual supply store or candle shop can supply them, I certainly will send them to the client.

More importantly than which Saint is on the outside of the candle is the color of the wax of the candle. Yes, you might think, ‘Well,  I wouldn’t think my love life is So impossible that I have to petition Saint Jude, Patron Saint of Impossible Causes.’  It isn’t really so much the Saint, but the candle color. What is the person is not Catholic? Doesn’t know or feels uncomfortable about praying to a Saint? It is the PINK that matters in love candle magic spell work, not the photo on the front.

However, there are those of us who DO believe in the Powers of the Saints and rely on them to act as intercessors for us. That is fine as well. Remember, even above all, that a long time ago, there were NO colors of candles, except the creamy yellow of mutton tallow that was the source of candles before petroleum that was converted into paraffin.

Please refer to the category on the right regarding candles and the meaning of their colors for further investigation.

Now that you have identified, purchased and “flipped” your reversible candle to reveal the wick at the black end of the candle and carved a name or command into the candle, it is time to anoint this candle and get it burning to send back all that negativity from whence it came from!

Using the “Up and Down” Method of Anointing Reversible Candles

(Most commonly used for two-colored, reversible or double action candles)

Many people who do candle work will use two colored candles, most commonly known as “double-action”; candles to work both way for them in the particular situation. These candles commonly come in red/black, green/black and white/black. There are those who make their own candles and the combination of the colors may be personal to each individuals needs.

The first photo shows that you always clean your candle with lemon juice to “clear” and “clean” the candle.

Then, to anoint a candle in this manner, you would need to put the different oils in your hands, one for each condition (postive and banishing) and grasping the candle horizontally the candle in the center with the appropriate color, move from center to ends (see photos) alternately, moving the banishing or black prayer or intention first, then the other color hand and intention second.
