thank you Zach

Youre always welcome shayn

Although most witches use color for specific purpose, I generally use black, just because I like it. I feel the intent and energy raised for the working are the factors that control the outcome. If color helps some attune and focus, to help direct intent, I can understand that. I find, however, it's not the color of the candle, it's how you use it that works best for me.

Interesting, some black candles came my way a few says ago, and someone said 'ooh aren't they for the occult, black magic and things'I told them no, I like black candles just because they are black, but I thought i'd look up the colour meaning isn't it weird how anything black is associated with the darker side of life?

black candles are awesome, thanx for the color explanation Violet

I will use black candles if I really want to "ground" a spell or intention, I find it gives "weight" to the intention.

Thank Violet - I really should use my candles more
