by Patricia Telesco (Author)

"Examines the topic in full from making candles to using them ritualistically and even uncovers the relationship between candle magic and feng shui." --Publishers Weekly

Candlelight is magickal. It casts a gentle warmth and glow all around. And in the shadows of that light we find a rich history filled with myth, lore, superstition, and spells. Exploring Candle Magick brings this history to light.

Everyone knows how to make a wish when blowing out the candles on a birthday cake, but did you know that a candle's flame represents spiritual purity and the everlasting human soul? Did you know that it's good luck to give someone a bayberry candle for the new year, or light one with your right hand?

Exploring Candle Magick teaches one of the oldest and most common magickal arts: working with candles. From candlelit divinations and rituals to simply energizing the atmosphere of a room, candles have been part of religious tradition for aeons. With Exploring Candle Magick, you can join that tradition and learn how to:

• Choose candles that harmonize with your astrological sign
• Burn candles effectively as a spell component
• Make magickal candles from scratch
• Use candles as charms and amulets
• Decorate candles to reflect any goal, including love, prosperity, health, and happiness
• Combine feng shui with candle-burning efforts

There is literally no circumstance for which candles cannot be used for powerful, life-affirming magick. Exploring Candle Magick is the definitive guide to understanding and applying the magickal art of candles for yourself, your home, family, or friends.
