Color Therapy & Candles


Colors play an important role in our lives and even when we do creative work or meditate; we can lend distinctive vibrations and focus our intentions better through the burning of different colored candles. Candle “magick” is an important and much studied science and art (which is often times wrongly associated with black magic or witchcraft).

 Candle magic is based on the same principle as that of color therapy. Different colors have different frequencies which, in turn, have different effects on the human psyche. We can use these effects in a positive manner to enhance our mind power. Likewise, some candles are also fragrant and the different fragrances can also reflect differently on one’s feelings, emotions and aura. Therefore, through candle magic, practitioners can make use of varying fragrances and colors of candles to create different effects for their clients.
Candle magick practitioners often recommend writing names, dates, birthdates and certain symbols on the candle (or its enclosing glass) to reaffirm the intentions. Additionally, the candles must be anointed in specific essential oils to dress the candle and increase their effectiveness.  The dressing of the candle is itself a ritual where you must completely focus on the intention while rubbing the oil on the wax of the candle. A ritual aura cleansing is usually followed by the lighting of the candle to increase the effectiveness.

Tarot Cards for Sexuality by Paul Hughes- Barlow

The Tarot for sexuality The Major Arcana are the best for exploring sexuality, particularly when combined with several courts who may represent the client and the person they are interested in. As in every tarot reading, context is paramount. For some women, knowing that they are going to meet a ‘gentleman friend’ is as far as the reader needs to go. Others want more details – these are the ones that push for information. I remember a woman in a new relationship asking about her lover. Most prominent was the Devil, so I casually mentioned bondage… her eyes lit up and misted over in reverie of her expectations. This list is not exhaustive, nor is it guaranteed right in every situation. Some of the practices are illegal depending on where you live. It is not the purpose of the tarot reader to advocate any of these practices either. The list is created entirely without any reference to the Tree of Life, using my imagination. I have not used all the suggestions in a reading. I hav...

Tuning into Intuition

When reflecting upon our actions or interactions, it is easy to regret  what  we said or how we acted. The most underrated gift all humans have is the gift of intuition. The term "gut feeling" exists because that first  instinctual reaction we feel is the most powerful. We inhibit ourselves from tapping into our natural intuitive gift because we are our own worst enemy and repress our beliefs and tell ourselves that our immediate reaction is too "impulsive." There is no correct way to be more intuitive other than to listen to yourself.  Yet still there are simple steps that can guide ANYONE to open up, manifest and harness more intuition in life. But why should anyone become more intuitive? Here are some kickers as to why intuition is a fantastic gift and ally to have and how to tune into your intuitive abilities: 1.  Pattern Breaking: A very interesting and fun way of prepping yourself to be more intuitive is break...

Threes in Tarot

Image
The Number Three Cards of the Tarot Mystic of East When a Tarot card with the number three in it appears, one of the layers of meaning involved in it applies to this number itself. Threes in Tarot signify a unifying force. The number three is entwined with the couple it takes to birth new life. There are six cards in the Tarot deck featuring this number: the four suited cards (Three of Swords, Wands, Pentacles and Cups) and two cards from the Tarot's Major Arcana: The Empress (card number three) and Death (card number thirteen). Themes that these cards reinforce include loyalty, bonding, indulging and crossing the point of no return. Loyalty:  The theme of being beholden to an oath, a relationship, a tradition or a way of doing things underscores both consistency and commitment. You may be feeling particularly comfortable because of the solid beliefs and actions you hold. You might, though, be feeling a little stuck in the mud if you have grown beyond a certain outlook o...
