Candle magic is a form of magic that involves the use of candles to manifest desires, intentions, and goals. It is a popular type of magic that is often practiced by beginners due to its simplicity and accessibility. To begin with candle magic, it is important to choose the right candle for your intention. Each color of candle has its own specific meaning and energy, so it is crucial to select a candle that aligns with your goal. For example, a red candle is often associated with passion and love, while a green candle represents abundance and prosperity. Once you have chosen your candle, it is time to cleanse and consecrate it.

Convince your family and friends that you have the ability to control the Zorbi using only the power of your mind, as you cause it to float and fly hypnotically and even land in the palm of your hand. If you meet someone that does not speak the same language as you, showing them a magic trick will help you to build an instant connection without even saying a word.
Once you have chosen your candle, it is time to cleanse and consecrate it. This can be done by holding the candle in your hands and visualizing it being purified of any negative or unwanted energy. Some people choose to anoint the candle with oils or herbs that correspond with their intention.
Acting Warm-Up: Magic Putty
Here’s a warm-up activity that I love using with a wide variety of groups. I’m sure it goes by many names but I like to call it Magic Putty. Here’s how it works.
Everyone stands in a circle, including the teacher. The teacher cups her hands and says, “I’m holding something amazing in my hands. It’s magic putty. I can use it to make any kind of toy that I want. For example…” Then she mimes shaping the putty into a toy (e.g. a Barbie doll, a tennis racket, etc.). She then plays with said toy for a few seconds, then shapes the toy back into the ball of magic putty. The putty is passed to the next person and the game continues around the circle.
This is a great game for beginners because it doesn’t ask you to play a role, to be funny, to be impressive. It just asks you to think of a toy. It’s also a light physical warm-up.
Some tips:
Don’t be realistic. Don’t worry about the amount of putty you start with. A handful can make an entire baseball stadium if you so desire. It’s magic!
Encourage physicality. Coach the students to make toys that use the whole body (e.g. a bicycle)
Do the steps. Coach students to follow each step cleanly – accepting the putty, shaping the putty into a toy, playing with the toy, shaping
Take the word “toy” loosely. It doesn’t need to be a traditional toy. It can be any object that you interact with in a physical way.
Variations:
Charades : You have to interact with your toy until someone is able to guess what the toy is.
Share your toy : Instead of collapsing the toy after playing with it, it gets handed to the next person in the circle, who also plays with it for a few seconds, then collapses it to make a new toy.
Speed round : Do a round as quickly as possible, keeping the movements/steps as clean and clear as possible.

This step helps to infuse the candle with the desired energy. To perform a candle magic ritual, you will need a quiet and sacred space where you can focus your intentions. Light the candle and spend some time meditating on your goal, visualizing it as already accomplished. You can also say a prayer or affirmation that aligns with your intention. As the candle burns, pay attention to any signs or messages that may come to you. These can be in the form of images, thoughts, or feelings. Trust your intuition and follow any guidance that you receive. Once the candle has finished burning, it is important to give thanks for the manifestation of your intention. You can express gratitude in any way that feels right to you, whether it be a simple thank you or a more elaborate gesture. It is important to note that candle magic is a tool for intention and manifestation, but it should not be relied upon as the sole means of achieving your goals. It is necessary to take practical action alongside your candle magic to bring your desires into reality. Candle magic can be a powerful and effective tool for manifesting your desires. With proper intention, focus, and belief, anyone can learn and practice this form of magic, making it an ideal choice for beginners..
Reviews for "Incorporating Astrology into Your Candle Magic Practice"
1. Sara - 1 out of 5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Candle Magic for Beginners". The book promised a comprehensive guide for beginners, but I found it to be confusing and lacking in clear instructions. The author seemed to assume that the reader already had some background knowledge on candle magic, which made it difficult for me to follow along. Overall, I felt like I wasted my money on this book and would not recommend it to others looking to learn about candle magic.
2. Michael - 2 out of 5 stars - "Candle Magic for Beginners" was not what I expected. The book was filled with vague and repetitive information that did not provide any practical guidance. The author spent too much time on the history and symbolism of candles without actually explaining how to perform candle magic. I was left feeling frustrated and confused, and I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a practical guide to learning candle magic.
3. Jennifer - 2 out of 5 stars - I found "Candle Magic for Beginners" to be a bit too superficial in its approach. The book provided a very basic overview of candle magic, but it lacked depth and detail. I was hoping for more in-depth explanations and examples of different candle spells and rituals, but instead, I found generic and general information. The book might be useful for absolute beginners, but if you're looking to really delve into the practice of candle magic, you'll likely be disappointed with the lack of substance in this book.
