The Spiritual Significance

White is the all-purpose color of candle magic, standing for purity, peace, blessing, truth, and new beginnings. Most importantly, it is the universal substitute: when you do not have a candle of the right color, a white one can stand in for any of them. Household candles are the plain workhorses of candle magic, burned for offerings, daily devotions, and small single workings, which makes a white household candle the single most useful candle to keep on an altar. It suits cleansing, blessing, peace work, and a clean start to almost any intention. Candle magic itself is ancient and nearly universal, the simple act of carrying an intention on a flame.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and seat it in a holder on a heat-safe surface.
2. Set your intention. Name the blessing, peace, or purpose you are working toward.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick, picture your intention, and let the candle burn down for the working.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and use a proper holder, since a household candle burns down fully.
