How to Use Spell Candles in Your Manifestation Ritual
You don’t need elaborate rituals to get started—just a clear intention, focused energy and a calm space. Here's a simple step-by-step ritual you can follow:
1. Choose the Right Colour
Each candle colour corresponds to a specific intention (see colour meanings below). Choose the one that aligns with your goal.
2. Cleanse the Candle (Optional but Powerful)
You can cleanse your candle using smoke (sage, palo santo), moonlight, or simply by holding it with the intention to clear any lingering energy.
3. Dress the Candle
If you like, anoint your candle with oils or herbs that match your intention (e.g. cinnamon for abundance, rose for love). This adds extra potency.
4. Set Your Intention
Hold the candle in your hands, close your eyes, and clearly state what you’re manifesting—out loud or silently. Visualise it already happening.
5. Light the Candle
As you light the wick, imagine your intention being sent into the universe. Let the candle burn for as long as you feel called (safely, of course).
6. Close the Ritual
When you're ready to end, thank the universe, your guides or your higher self. Snuff out the candle (don’t blow it out unless your tradition calls for it) and carry your intention with you.
