🕯Candle Magick at Yule🕯 (Patreon)

Let’s talk about candle magick for celebrating the season of Yule! You can light candles on a Yule log, dress them with herbs and essential oils, have your own solitary ritual and more. The uses of fire, candles, torches and lanterns have been in the context of rituals and spirituality has very ancient origins that can be traced back to the beginnings of history. Even today, there is something magical and ancestral in lighting a candle in the warmth of our own home, and watching its flame flicker while it accompanies us like a lighthouse through the mists.

But let’s get to it: candle magick is so ancestral and intuitive that the resources exploring it are limitless, and it would be impossible to condense this practice in a single post. There are many resources that go deeper into the color meanings for intentions and rituals, plus how to interpret the candle flame. Meditation, prayer, intent, and simple contemplation: the uses of candle magick are many and can be very effective.

What are my suggestions for working with candles at Yule? What are the colors and meanings that I love the most during this evocative season? Let’s get comfy by the fireplace and find out together! 🙂

The colors you can work with during Yule are gold, silver, red, green, white, and also brown, both in combination and individually. Better still if the candle is glittered for that extra sparkle, or decorated with propitiatory herbs for the coming year.

Gold for success, also financial one, personal fulfilment, health and good luck. Silver for spiritual and psychic development, for vision through the mists. Red for strength, passion, and love. Green for prosperity, abundance, health and good luck. White for purification and as an ‘all-round’ useful color. And finally brown, for grounding, balance, stability, and everything that is ‘home’.

We can anoint our candles and sprinkle them with magickal herbs suitable for the season, engrave our intent or symbolic meaning on the candle itself, and light it. One ritual you can do is pour a few drops of essential oil on the candle, aligned to the candle’s color and to your intent, and sprinkle the herbs you feel as most useful to manifest your intent in a circle around its saucer or support. Or for a simple festive and propitiatory touch, why not try anise, cinnamon, cloves, a pine cone, and a sprig of mistletoe? Or light your candle inside a Yule log?

How do you use your candles at Yule? What do you love doing during this magical season?
