Colors play an important role in the nature-based pagan religion, Wicca, and their practice of magic. After all, colors are vibrational energy, and this energy can make spells stronger. It is a well-known fact that red excites and energizes, whereas blue soothes and calms us. This shows that people react differently to the energies. By using the right candle color during spells, it is possible to send out vibrations that can help the intentions of the spell caster.
In this guide, we will study candle color meanings from the context of spells, magic, and Wicca. Note that the Wiccan symbols and candle colors are for reference only. How you feel about each color also matters. For example, a green color candle generally represents money, but if you think of gold when you think of money, then a golden candle may be more suitable for your spell.
