All of us want a way to attract love into our lives. Many look to Magic and the occult to find ways that they can boost their energies in order to do it. But what is it that you do exactly? Using the art of Candle Magic you can safely and effectively attract love into your life by following some easy steps and spells to work on self love. First however it is important that we understand just what Magic and Candle Magic is. Magic itself is the art of manipulating energy in order to achieve a desired result. Magic changes the energy from one form to another to achieve the casters desire. Magic is about belief, if you believe that it will work than it will, very similar to everything else in life. You have actually been doing Candle Magic since you were a toddler. We all have birthday’s right? we blow out the candles on the cake as we make a wish. We concentrate, blow them out and believe that it will come true. That is a form of Candle Magic! We are focusing here though on Candle Magic for Love. I am not talking about forcing someone to fall in love with you as you cannot force someone to do something that is against their free will. Besides, what happens if the person wasn’t right for you after all? Now you’re stuck with them because of a spell for Love. Instead it is best to focus on self love and self worth. When we have that it is easier for us to attract a partner to share that love with. The Candles themselves are important to the Magic that you are going to do. Types of candles as well as colours vary. Beeswax candles are becoming more and more popular of late because they are all natural. The only downside is that they can be expensive. Paraffin candles are your standard wax candles that you see most often, and though they are not totally natural they are most often used, and come in great colours. Just choose the candle that you feel connected to and this should be the one that will work for you.

Every colour has a different meaning to it. So let’s talk about the colours that would be used for Love.

RED: Red is the colour of sexuality as well as the colour for the Root Chakra at the base of the spine. This colour tends to have a lot of energy to it when it comes to sexual matters. Burning a red candle can help aid in self manifestation of sexual desire by a partner as well as being more comfortable with ones own sexuality. Many people are uncomfortable with who they are sexually and tend to disguise it by acting in a way that they think is “proper sexual manner”. Being comfortable in your own skin is an important role in attracting a partner. The colour is also good for couples that are having sexual problems in a relationship as well.

PINK: Pink is the colour of Universal Love as well as the Heart Centre Chakra. Don’t get Universal Love confused with Unconditional Love, they are actually separate things. Universal love talks about both giving and receiving love fully and without doubts or fears or prejudice. Burning a pink candle is going to help you be able to give and receive love in all aspects of life not simply in a romantic way. In order to gain a relationship with a person that you have attracted you must be willing to accept their love as they give it and at the same time feed your love back into them creating a full circle of universal and unconditional Love.

BURGUNDY: This is the colour of romance. It is important to give the love an outlet that it can express itself without hesitation. The words “I Love You” have simply lost their meaning in this day and age and does not always instil the feeling of love in people. Romance has become the outlet in which love can flow creatively and instil the feeling of love in the relationship. Remember that old saying ‘Actions speak louder than words’? The colour is also great for couples that may be having difficulties romantically. There are other things that you can use in addition to the candles to help boost the energy of attracting love into your life. Keep in mind as well that Magic is not a guarantee. There is never a way to tell for sure that it is going to work for you, especially if you don’t have a belief in it. It may take some time as well so don’t expect immediate results as there is a lot of energy that has to get together to work for you and sometimes that can take time. So be patient and think positive and you will attract that special love into your life.
