Lucky Blessed Candles

A selection of candles

In the manuscript called Black & White Magic - which purports to have been written by Marie Laveau herself - the sections on astrological lore denote a "Lucky Blessed Candle" for each sign of the Zodiac.

Lucky Blessed Candles, when used in this context, are stand-ins for the individual. That is, they are you, expressed in candle magic purposes. They are a wonderful and simple way of Setting Lights for yourself without resorting to a huge variety of different candle colors.

Each sign has two colors associated with it. You can use either color, though most people will have an affinity for one over the other. Some people also choose to use one for attracting conditions and the other for repelling or protection against them. Use prayer and your intuition to figure out what works best for you.
