Wax Play: concerning the use of candles in love and lust magic, and the nuanced virtues of colors.
I want to preface this with saying that these are my experiences and opinions, you do not have to share them or agree with them in any way.
I've seen a couple posts about love magic recently, some of them were about praxis, while others were simply aesthetic and pretty. But it got me thinking about my experience with love magic particularly utilizing candle magic.
When we think of candle love and lust spells We generally collectively think of two colors, red, and pink. And both are excellent. However, in my experience I have found that they produce different kinds of outcomes.
Red candles when used for love spells tend to produce a "Hot & Heavy" or " whirlwind romance" kind of love. Without keeping yourself grounded they often fizzle out very quickly. Though they are a lot of fun.
Pink candles when worked for love spells often produce a much gentler burn that has the potential to grow over time. This tends to be a much more gentler romance. Now. There's nothing wrong with either of these things of course.
But if You're anything like me and this vibes with you, make sure you choose the color that fits the kind of love you're looking for. Also, red is great for if you're just looking for that "special someone for right now" if you know what I mean 😅😉. And pink is also great for self-love and self-respect, and healing heartache and heartbreak.
A little bit of a side note slightly off topic. I also find being careful with Love herbs heavily ruled by Mars in more romantic love spells, I think you need them to really push forward but if you're using the pink candle, make sure to look at more gentle lover herbs.
