Candle Magic Flame, Wax, Colour, Spellwork, and the Discipline of Fire

Candle magic is often taught as a list of colours, oils, herbs, and ready-made spells. This book goes deeper. Candle Magic is a serious, practical guide to working with flame, wax, colour, intention, timing, petitions, spell structure, safety, ethics, and the ordinary actions that must follow ritual if the work is going to mean anything.

Colour is treated as a living part of spellcraft, not a law to obey blindly. The book also teaches the foundations that make candle work effective and responsible: how to prepare a candle, how to write a clear petition, how to carve and dress wax without overloading it, how…
