Candle Magic: Lighting Your Intentions
Lighting a candle in magic is a beautiful way to bring your intention into physical form. Candle magic is accessible for beginners but powerful enough to be a lifetime practice. The flame becomes your voice, carrying your intention into the unseen realms. When you light a candle, you are not just igniting wax and wick, you are igniting your will.
Why Candle Magic Works
Candles are symbolic tools. The wax holds energy, the flame transforms intention into action, and the color corresponds to specific energy vibrations. Candle magic works because it combines intention, visualization, and sensory focus.
