Candle and Color Guide - Meanings and Uses

Essential guide to candles and colors: how to work with their energy

Candles are a simple yet powerful tool to support personal, emotional, and spiritual processes. Each color vibrates differently, and when we light a candle, we project that energy toward our intention: whether it's asking for clarity, attracting prosperity, nurturing love, or cleansing the environment.

Here's a guide to the main meanings of each color, to make it easy for you to choose the right candle for every occasion.

White

The color of peace, clarity, and harmony. It cleanses, purifies, and helps to order the mind and heart. It's a perfect all-rounder when you don't know what color to use.

Yellow

Light, joy, and mental clarity. It fosters self-esteem, communication, and professional or financial success. Ideal for opening new paths, improving concentration, and attracting good fortune.

Orange

Vitality, motivation, and personal strength. It helps in decision-making, improves mood, and boosts energy during periods of stagnation. It also benefits business and social relationships.

Pink

Sincere love, sweetness, and affection. It supports processes of self-esteem, romantic relationships, and family or friendship connections. Very useful for opening up emotionally and attracting healthy relationships.

Deep protection and negativity removal. Cleanses dense energies, cuts envy, and helps release what no longer serves us, both in people and spaces.

How to work with your candles

• Choose the color according to your intention: each shade accompanies you in a different type of process.

• Place it on your candle holder or plate and calmly think about your goal: take a moment to breathe, focus and decide what you want to attract or transform.

• Let them burn completely whenever possible, so that the energy of the ritual is complete.

• Turn them off without blowing , so as not to disperse the energy.

• You can write your name or your request on the candle to better direct its power.

• Observe how it is consumed: the shape of the wax, the smoke, or the flame can offer messages about the process.

• Give thanks and dispose of the remains: remove and clean the candle remains.
  
  

REMEMBER

Use candles responsibly. Don't leave them burning if you're not in the same room, and make sure to place them on a firm surface, away from curtains, papers, or other flammable objects.
Keep them out of reach of children and pets, and if you notice the flame getting too high or burning strangely, turn it off and relight it when it's safe.
