--> Wiccan Color Guide For Candles <--      
                        { Lady Rhea }   
   
   BLACK: The Polar opposite of White, its attribute is 
Saturn the Teacher. Here we must be very careful in selecting
this color. Saturn is used for Retribution when we have been
wronged. We should punish the person immediately with a Hex and
let them suffer. That's Real Power! Wrong, Wrong, Wrong.!!! Do
this and the Laws of Karma will come back and Bite you on the
ass!!! That is why Saturn is called the Teacher. So you learn not
to misuse the Power of Magick, even when someone is doing Bad
Magick on you. This doesn't mean that you should turn around and
try to resolve it the same way. 
 
  Now then, you must be saying to yourself, well, when do I 
Burn Black Candles anyway? In my opinion, not very often and 
only when a reputable Spell call for it. Some Banishing Spells
require black. Now then in the case of Murder, Rape, Muggings 
and the like Physical Crimes, I recommend the Balance of Karma
Seal with Saturn Oil. Use Red and Copper Glitter. Place this
Candle in a bowl of water as it will absorb the Negative
Protection Candle for yourself and take plenty of Salt water
baths, at least 3 in a week's time. 
 
  BLUE: Peace and Harmony, Protection., Healing, especially 
where there are Fevers concerned. Reunites Friendships, House 
Blessing for a, New Home. Works well with all Neutralizing Acts 
of Magick, Ie, Breaking Bad Habits { including all over 
indulgences, be they in Food, Alcohol, or drugs } Calms the 
Nerves and will Calm the Atmosphere of a Home where there is a 
Calamity, too many Arguments, or where a Recent Traumatic 
Experience has taken place. I strongly advise a White 
Uncrossing in this case, with the Blue, the Higher Octave of
Jupiter Rules here; also the Planet Neptune. I prefer Purple
myself. 
 
  BROWN: This Color is worked well on the Physical Planes. 
It is a combination of Red and Green Mars and Venus, when 
blended together, neutralize. So Brown is often used to 
separate. But on the other side of the coin, it is also a Color
used for Grounding and Stabilizing that which is not Stable. 
This Color falls under the Rulership of Pluto, The Lord of Outer 
Spaces and the Dead. Use this Color in All Matters Dealing with 
Justice, Separation, Earth Elementals and whenever the Color 
brown is mentioned in a Ritual. 
 
  GREEN: Money Drawing, of course. Now, after Love, we come 
to every body's next cause, or vice versa. Aha! But this is 
only apart of it, for here we have the Planetary Vibrations of
Venus. Yes, She Rules on an Earthly Level. Green can attract all
that Venus Rules on a Material sense. Treasures, Antiques, wordly
Possessions, etc. This is best worked with an Orange, Mercury
Candle so that Obstacles are Removed and the way to Hidden
Treasure is Opened. Do this Duo and then go on an Antique 
Shopping Trip. Green is also a Color of Healing for Physical 
Disorders and Diseases having to do with Female Problems. Use 
the Green in Healing Cancer. It is the Devotional Color to 
Mother Earth. 
 
  ORANGE: Communications is the Key word here. This Color is 
Ruled by Mercury, Divine Messenger Of The Gods. Having a lot of 
Red Tape Lately? This Candle can be the Scissors that cuts 
through it. Success Spells and Favorable decisions are best 
started here. If your having trouble getting your thoughts 
collected, or in expressing your desires, Orange is your best 
bet. When there is a lot of Confusion and people are 
saying the same thing, but not hearing eachother, Blue, Pink, 
or even White works well with Orange, depending on the 
situation. This also works well when 2 people desire to open
their Telepathic Senses Together. However, both people should be
in agreement to this. Do not use this to invade another, for 
Mercury is a Trickster and the Trick might be played on You. 
Excellent for Job Hunting and Success of any Nature. 
 
  PURPLE: Royal Workings for Honor and Recognition in 
acquiring Wealth. Respect of others. This Color is Ruled by 
Jupiter, so, remember, if you haven't completed the reason for 
acquiring Honors and Recognition Purple rules Higher Knowledge. 
First, accomplish the work, then, Invoke the Honors. We 
cannot put the cart before the horse. Good for Winning in the 
Court Room, Law suits, etc. All Psychic work attaining Wisdom 
through Psychic Visions in Business and Attracting New Business 
Clients. Good for putting your Employer in a Jovial mood 
before you hit him/her for a raise. This is a Color related to 
Power and will work well with other Colors, especially Orange, 
Green, and Yellow. For Legal Cases use Brown and Orange. 
 
  RED: Brings Physical Love; Sexual Potency. Manifests 
Ambitions on a Physical Level. Good for people who are Listless 
and have no Ambition or Drive. Mars is in Rulership here. This 
Color is also Sacred to Chango. Good for Business Deals that 
don't quite seem to be getting off the ground. Healing for 
Muscle wounds. 
 
  PINK: Love Attraction and Devotional Love. Romantic Love 
is more involved here, as well as Passion and Flirtations. Can 
be used when dealing with Bitter People. Example: when you have
to work with someone and there is a lot of clash, this will help 
Sweeten up their disposition. Brings friendships. Best used 
with a Yellow, also because this keeps the Friendship on a
Platonic Basis. Erzulie and Venus Rule here. 
 
  WHITE: Here we have the Purity of Naught. The Serenity of 
White will bring a Clearing Effect like a Clean Sweep. Whether 
you are using it on a Person to clear away Obstacles, it is the 
best Purging of the Color Spectrum. So it is advised to do an
Uncrossing before the undertaking of most Spells as this will
open doors and make a Clear Path before you. This Color will
Clean, Purify, and Absorb like no other. Which brings us to the
next Principle of White. Being a Virgin Color it will Absorb any
other. Example: If in an emergency I need a Green Candle and
there are none available, I can substitute with a White, for it
shall absorb the Color necessary by simply envisioning Green
Light Passing through the Candle until it is completely Green.
This Color, like Neutral Grey, is a Sacred to the Moon for its
Virgin Qualities. Its Pantheon Aspects tie it to the Yurban
Goddess Obatala. And in Candle Magick we do Uncrossings with
Ellegua, which works exceptionally well even though His Colors
are Red and Black. When you have all the proper Keys, All The
Doors Open. 
 
YELLOW: This Color represents the Brilliance of the Sun. 
We use this Color in Healing, works where Higher Consciousness 
is needed, Happiness, Glory, Overcoming Injustices, all Magickal 
Acts that require Seals of the Sun. This Color is always
prescribed when there has been a long dismal period in a person's
lifestyle. It Attracts Wealth and Acclaim with more, Notoriety
than Jupiter { puts you in the spotlight }. Use for Clearing up
Lung Disorders and Problems of a similar Nature. Yellow is Ruled
by the Santeria Goddess Oshun and the Sun God Appolo. Both Gods
are Golden in their Nature of things. Oshun Rules Love and
Marriage, and Appolo Rules the Supreme Archetype which all 
people aspire to be linked to.
