Things You Should Know
- Purple candles signify psychic power, mystical knowledge, and spiritual growth and awareness.
- Use dark purple candles to foretell the future, light purple candles to promote healing and compassion, and burgundy candles to increase passion and motivation in your life.
- To perform a purple candle spell, set an intention, dress your candle in oil, and chant your intentions aloud as you light your candle to amplify its magick.
Steps
How to Perform a Purple Candle Spell
-
Sit in a quiet room and set your intentions. Use smoke or sage incense to clear the energy in the room.[11] Reflect on what you want to achieve, then state your desires out loud in the present or future tense.
-
Dress your candle with essential oils, herbs, and crystals. Coat your hands with a few drops of oil, then dress your candle from top to bottom. When your candle is evenly coated, dust dried herbs near the base. If you like, place your candle next to a crystal that meets your goals.[12]
- Complementary oils: Clary sage (for vivid dreams and relaxation), lavender (for spiritual protection), peppermint (for grounding and cleansing), ylang-ylang (for spiritual awakening), frankincense (for calmness)
- Complementary gemstones: Amethyst (for spiritual awareness and intuition), lepidolite (for emotional balance), sugilite (for positive energy), lapis lazuli (for clarity and wisdom), ruby (for energy and creativity), black onyx (for healing and protection)
- Complementary herbs: Lavender (for healing and cleansing), orris root (for success), star anise and bay leaf (for psychic vision), jasmine (for lucid dreaming), Palo Santo (for meditation and spiritual growth), mandrake root (for protection)
-
Light your candle and chant a magick spell. Come up with a song about what you want to attract, or repeat the same statement over and over. Light the wick of your candle, then close your eyes and visualize your ideal future. Repeat the spell aloud to solidify your intentions.[13]
-
Read the flame, then blow out your candle. Different movements and sounds can tell you whether your spell has been performed successfully, so look at your candle for one minute to determine the flame’s meaning.
- Tall and steady flame: Your spell will come true soon.
- Weak flame: You have to overcome obstacles to reach your goal.
- No flame: Attempt your spell at another time.
- Heart-shaped flame: A loved one is thinking of you.
- Blue flame: A spirit is near and wants to help you.
- White flame: Peace, healing, and prosperity are heading your way.
- Smoking flame: You’re looking at things from the wrong perspective.
- Flickering or jumping flame: Your spell is full of energy and emotion.
- Crackling or popping flame: Your spirits are trying to communicate with you.
- Dancing flame: Your message has been received but will take time to carry out.
