What is candle magic
Candle burning is one of most simple forms of magic. It can be performed most anywhere at any time and candles are really easy to purchase and are found everywere. The basic principles are to concentrate, visualize and focusing (willpower) on the candle as a symbol.
Candle magic can be used for all kinds of things like overcoming bad habits, attracting things, settling disturbing atmospheres, protection, regaining health, developing psychic powers along with many other things that i have listed below.
Basic Preparations
To start you should cleanse your space, relax have a positive state of mind. Choose new, unused candles, and do not use the ones you choose for any other purpose.
Make sure your space is quiet, except if you want to use soft music. It's a good thing not to eat or engage in sexual activity before any magic ritual. A "cleansing" bath is also a good thing before.
Give the candle some of your personal vibrations. This will give the wax your thoughts, desires and life-force. You can also use an essential oil on the candle. The energy from your hands will pass into the wax. Always start rubbing the oil from the top to the bottom when anointing a candle. Then go from bottom up to the center of the candle. While you are oiling the candle think about what you want to accomplish. Visualize success and see your desires accomplished.

Astrologically, the colors and their correspondences are classified and related as follows.
