The Importance of Candle Colors in Witchcraft

In the old ages of witchcraft, witches didn't have fancy candle colors to use. Since dyeing wax was an expensive and difficult process, they used plain candles, which were made from animal fat or beeswax and did not have any coloring added.

Their spells worked because of the witch's intentions behind it. For this reason, a simple white candle can do the trick whenever you want to cast a spell, because it is the witch's intentions that power a spell, not the tools used to cast it. You don't really need any other colors to cast a successful spell.

However, if you want to strengthen your intention and focus your energy more into the desired outcome your spell will bring, that's where candle colors come in handy. You don't need them, but they can absolutely help with strengthening your spell and honing your energy and focusing it into a specific purpose.

Colors resonate at frequencies that align with specific energies so adding the energies of these colors into our magick and strengthen the intention behind the spell.

Focusing on the color of a candle can help hone in your energy and focus it into your intention. Since colors resonate at frequencies that align with specific energies, it becomes much easier to focus our intention when we have a color in mind.

Since colors carry specific energies, it would be counterproductive to use a candle that is a color that doesn't align with your spell's intended goal. If you do end up using a candle that isn't the right color for your goal, it may reframe the meaning behind the spell, change the nuance of it, or alter the focus of your spell. Don't worry, it's unlikely to ruin the working or cause any harm!

While most of witchcraft is based on intuition and intention, it's generally recommended to follow the guidelines of colors so that you can avoid unexpected or undesired results and garner a predictable and replicable outcome.
