Candle Color Meanings
- White White is a pure color, and you can use a white candle in any spells or rituals you’d like to perform. It’s a great option for cleansing a space or clearing negative energy. The color white is associated with peace, tranquility, serenity, healing, and renewal.[1]
- Black If you’re in need of protection or want to block bad energy or magic, go with a black candle. It can absorb energy and even help you break bad habits or work through grief and trauma. Use a black candle in a cord-cutting ritual or to block a hex or curse.Advertisement
- Purple To access your intuition or dreamworld, purple is ideal. A purple candle can help you enhance your intuition, spiritual enlightenment, creativity, or manifestation. Purple is also associated with knowledge, secrets, and the unconscious.
- Blue Blue is a soothing color associated with the element of water. It represents acceptance, truth, wisdom, healing, clarity, and calmness. If you’re feeling low or vulnerable, try using a blue candle in your ritual.
- Green Green represents wealth, nature, fertility, and abundance. This candle color is tied to the earth element and can help you succeed, grow, and prosper. For spellwork to increase luck, foster healing, relieve stress and anxiety, or connect spiritually, a green candle is a great choice.
- Yellow To attract abundance, improve memory or communication, or increase focus or concentration, opt for a yellow candle. Yellow represents the air element as well as the energy and power of the sun. It’s also associated with duality, warmth, happiness, and connection.
- Orange An orange candle is great for helping you form connections and release negative emotions. This color is associated with positivity, happiness, flexibility, enthusiasm, and success. If you’re doing spellwork around increasing ambition or gaining inspiration, orange is an excellent choice.
- Red A red candle represents romance, passion, seduction, and sex. It can also be used to increase courage, strength, confidence, energy, and motivation. Red candles can represent the element of fire and are perfect for spells that require a quick or decisive outcome.[2]
- Pink Pink represents connection and pure love. It’s associated with positivity, compassion, and spirituality. If you’re doing spellwork involving friends or family, or want to increase empathy, kindness, or understanding, try a pink candle.
- Gold If you’re ready to manifest, use a gold candle, as it can amplify your intentions and help you reach your goals. Gold is a high-vibrational color that represents light and is associated with power, fortune, and enlightenment.[3]
- Silver To tap into the lunar or cosmic energy, opt for a silver candle. It’s also a great choice when honing your intuition or divination powers. If your spellwork involves dreams, self-reflection, or emotional healing, use silver.
- Brown Use a brown candle to ground yourself. This color represents understanding, trust, and balance. It’s also associated with material things and resources, including your possessions, health, and energy.
