:green_candle: WITCH CHALLENGE - Colorful Candle Magick

[BryWisteria]

Merry meet,

Thank you once again to all those who joined in for the previous Witch Challenge - The Thinning Veil

With the sabbat behind us, we continue toward the solstice. Let’s light the way forward - it’s time to bring out your candles in all their glorious colors!

The theme for this challenge is…

Colorful Candle Magick

From various ingredients to phases of the moon, elemental influences, Zodiac energies, and more - there are so many influences a witch can weave into their spell. These influences (often called correspondences) can strengthen a spell, quicken its outcome, or help it reach its intended recipient, to name just a few benefits. Color magick is the art of drawing on the magickal correspondences of a color. One of the easiest ways to draw on the power of a color in a spell is by using a colored candle

From green candles that boost prosperity to golden candles that encourage success, universal white candles to protective black - every candle color has its own energy and uses. This challenge calls on you to explore colored candle magick. Whether you hit the books, get casting, or light up some magickal theroy, feel free to choose a color that calls to you!

Challenge Entry - Colorful Candle Magick

I took advantage of a cat-free moment to do some candle magick. I chose to do a red candle for action and energy. Looking around, I selected items that I felt fit the purpose - a toy horse, tiger’s eye, citrine, and the rune Kenaz (translation = torch).

Perfect way to motivate myself for the day

Love this! And extra love to the toy horse - was he perhaps part of a carousel at some point? He looks ready to leap into the air and take flight. A great addition to a red candle ritual for action!

Beautiful spellwork, may it bless you with a burst of energy and motivation!

toy horse - was he perhaps part of a carousel at some point?

I’m glad you asked!

Non-challenge related info on the toy horse

I (of course) found him on one of my recent runs and carried him home. I assumed it was a carousel horse as well, so I thought I’d look online to confirm it. Turns out it looks like it’s from a Cowboys and Indians (Native Americans) series from Elastolin. The “horses were part of a range of toy figures, often associated with military (cavalry) or cowboy sets. They were made in Germany by the company Hausser-Elastolin and later by Preiser. Material: The black horses are made of either painted plastic (post-1960s) or the older, more collectible composition material (sawdust and glue mixture from the 1930s-1950s).”

Given the feathers on his halter, I’m guessing he’s one of the Native American horses, perhaps minus his rider.

Challenge Entry

It has become rather difficult to get colored tea lights, lately. I used to find them at the Dollar store once in a while, but with the local economy crash, they are refusing to carry many of the products I used to enjoy.

Once in a while, I’d even find colored tea lights at the local thrift stores. Instead, they are now buying white Walmart sets, splitting them in two or three and selling the splits for the full price. I’ll stick with getting the 100 white Walmart sets at Walmart, thanks.

That said, I did quite enjoy buying and burning elemental colors, when I could find them. Sometimes, the scents didn’t mix well, but it was an adventure to see what the place would smell like after burning a set. The apple ones often contained a bit of cinnamon for enhancement and manifestation. When I could find colored tea lights, I would save them for special occasions- holidays and time near the end of winter when I’d get tired of the same old same old. The colors and scents brought a bit of interest and novelty to my practice just before I had to stop burning for the hot days of summer.
