The Magic Candle: Facts and Fundamentals of Ritual Candle-Burning

Even if you have knowledge or a beginner of the art of candle magic this book will give you the necessary information. It goes through the types of candles, colors, figural, moon phases, planetary hours and some other vital information. My only drawback of this book is that although it provides all the information to burning your candles, it does not explain how to read divinational signs. The skill of preparing and lighting the candles are explained in detail. One important part is the end result. It's important to know if the work was successful or failed. The way a candle burns can give you an indication if things are going to happen slowly or quickly, good or bad. As well as how the flames burn, if the glass encased candle is clear or black. I am now searching for a book that can give me this other piece of information in greater detail. Overall, this is one of the best books to own in your pursuit to mastering candle magic.

I really enjoyed the information provided in this book. It is a quick read, yet provides a thorough breakdown of the meaning of candle magic / rituals, candle types, dressing candles, colors, planetary / astrological influences and techniques involved to create your own personal ritual. The best part of the book is the table of planetary hours, which inform you when to do certain rituals breaking down the exact day, time of day and moon schedule so that your ritual will have power and take effect. The information also demonstrates the influence of each sign (ie: Taurus) in the moon. It is really an excellent read for anyone who is interested in appreciating the joy of meditation, candle burning and creating your own special ritual for whatever reason. It is not a spooky book and provides an overview of ancient custom and the incorporation of universal and divine laws. Excellent book and job well done by Ms. Dey!

This book is straight to the point but give excellent detail for a small book and filled with much information on candle magick, when to lite the candle, what the different colors of candles do, the type of candle to use, and much more. Great infomation especially for the price, you won't be dis-appointed. Great buy for new occultist or mystics.

Great great great very informative

PROS:1. This book is 62 pages with the first pages and the very last pages, as advertisements of other book titles and other authors that are on the roster of the Original Publications Company.2. This book is definitely great for the beginner witch/magician, to learn the basics of the ritual purposes of using candles, the importance of the candle colors, the importance of the colors for each day of the week, the importance of the colors for the seasons, the importance of moon phases, how and why to use anointing oils and what incense to use during ritual/spell work.3. This foundation helps you to further research this summarized version of using candles, why and how to use candles in your ritual. Also, you may become motivated to further research the meaning of the anointing oils and the incense. The author briefly explains the names of some 24 oils and a brief reason to use the oils, and briefly mentions about 6-8 types of incense.4. There is an explanation of "seals and parchments".5. The jewels of wisdom presented, help you to know what information to further research.CONS:1. From the very beginning, starting with the first chapter, the photocopied words are of bad quality. There are a few sentences that has words and letters missing from the page, because those words were not completely photocopied.2. In the Chapter, "Types of Candles," the black and white images have been poorly photocopied too many times, that the images themselves are difficult to view. The photo copy quality is terrible.3. The "seals and parchments" text is literally 1 page in length. The next page has 3 sigils printed, but the caption under each is very general and brief. The photo copy quality is terrible. This makes it difficult to clearly see the entire design of the sigil. I had to research on the Internet the exact meaning and clearer images of each sigil.******IF POSSIBLE, ORDER A BOOK WITH COLOR PICTURES/ILLUSTRATIONS.

Get book, very informative

A must if your practicing shamanic enlightenment teaching and craft practices.

I am really happy with this book. Quick read. The thing I liked most about this author is she encourages the reader to use this method however it works for them; not exactly how she does it. I highly recommend this as the perfect beginner's book for people who are interested in candle work.

The book is less than 100 pages !!! the content is OK but not worth the price really.

Not what I thought it was

It's a very short book but it has some useful information. However I think it's overpriced for what it is.
