Hello everyone.

I'm interested in the role candles play in occult rituals and magic. I’ve read that different candle colors are tied to specific intentions, like red for love, green for prosperity, or white for protection.

Beyond color, some practitioners dress candles with oils, herbs, or symbols to boost their energy. There are also different candle types such as pillars, tapers, and novenas, each with unique applications. I’m curious about practical guidance. How do you choose the right candle for a ritual?

How important are colors, scents, or dressing in real practice? Any personal tips or experiences would be appreciated.
