pondering-the-kaiju:

I notice that a lot of people use the term “witchcraft” anachronistically. And by that I mean they don’t simply use it to refer to their own practices, but they try to project it way back into the past; EG, calling astrology “witchcraft” in references to times and places when it was actually a pretty mainstream practice.

The thing is, “witchcraft” isn’t a word that really means anything specific; for many people it’s just a derogatory term used to demonize whatever they don’t like or find sinister for some reason. What is and isn’t “witchcraft” can vary wildly depending on who you ask. What’s “witchcraft” to one Christian group might be an accepted practice to others.

If you’re speaking historically, it’s better to simply name the specific practice you mean, and specifically name exactly who objected to it. And be mindful not to conflate different groups; EG, the Puritans were not the Catholic Church were not the Mennonites, and so on.

Candle Magick

Did you know, you can cast spells with just a candle, some oil and herbs? Yeah! Candles are a staple in many witches arsenal, so why wouldn’t we use them for spells?

Each colour means something new and exciting for your candle.


White - Protection, Serenity, Peace, Enhances Personal Strength

Black - Protection, Banishment, Hexes, Curses

Blue - Emotions, Mental Health, Depression, Anxiety

Green - Wealth, Money, Prosperity, Luck

Yellow - Friendship, Social Skills, New Beginnings

Red - Lust, Courage, Passion

Pink - Romance, Love, Self-Love

Purple - Creativity, Psychic Awareness

Brown - Health, Energy, Possessions, Pets

Orange - Broadens Horizons, Opens New Doors


So you wanna cast a candle spell? Good for you! The first step is to think of what your intent is. What are you manifesting? Put it into a simple sentence, “My home is well protected from all evil.”


Next step is to dress your candle. This is optional, but if you wanna add extra umph to your spell, you can dress your candle in oils and herbs to help strengthen the spell. Or, alternatively you could carve sigils or runes into the candle.


Final step, cast your spell. So say you dont have a dressed candle. What you wanna do, is pour all your intent into your candle. You can do this by meditation, chanting, visualization, etc. Once your candle is charged, light it. Some spells require a candle to burn down to the wick, others you light occasionally when you need that specific thing in your life.


Make sure to pick your candle colours to help go along with your intent!
