Book excerpt: “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.
