Begin by selecting a candle in a colour that matches your intention. For example, red is often associated with love and passion, pink with emotions, blue with healing, green with the environment, brown with animals, yellow with inspiration, purple with magical strength, and black with releasing negativity.
White candles are commonly used for purification, and can also serve as a substitute for any other colour if needed.
If a specific colour is not available, it is possible to decorate or colour a candle using wax crayons.
Take a moment to sit quietly with your candle and reflect on the purpose of your spell.
