Candles and magic are two of the most ancient practices known to humans and both aspects have been used to manifest an array of powers latent and existing within ourselves and the planet. Candles are primarily used to create an environment, an ambiance or to the most basic, in case the lights go out. But little do people know the great powers your mind coupled with your intentions, a few candles and colors can achieve.
Attraction is a powerful potential and we use it everyday in the ways we speak, think, dress and express ourselves. When working with candles intent and attraction are your two main goals. The candle is what you are going to use to focus your intent and manifest the energy you intend to put out. The mind if you (Real eyes) attracts many things whether it be negative or positive it is ultimately up to you as to how you may want to direct that energy.
Just like you light a candle to attract peace, love, health, and, prosperity and it comes back to you in abundance, so can negative thoughts and intentions manifest itself and find its way right back to its originator. Just remember that energy cannot be destroyed whatever you intend to put out will find its way right back to you be it good or bad.
Magic should always be used to benefit you and your surroundings. Never harm anyone. If someone or something is causing imbalance in your life , whether it be a gossiping neighbor or a conspiring co-worker look into yourself and ask what is it about YOU that attracts these type of people and/or situations.
This is where candles and magic becomes a great self help tool. A great tool because like meditation, what you are trying to do is focus your intentions, manifest them, and ultimately achieve results. What may be results for you may not become results for me. For me results may be a candle for my aura, health or peace. Whatever your intent it is unique to you. Basically what you are doing is attracting good and positive things relative to you.
It has been understood that colors, symbols and aromas are all magical systems unto themselves waiting to correspond with your intent, what you desire to attract. Colors are present in our daily lives and most of the times we dress in colors based the way we may feel on a certain day or what kind of mood you feel in. So it can be very interesting to notice what colors correspond for what aspect of your intent and how we can use them to benefit our everyday lives.
