Secrets Of The Flame
The Secrets of the Flame are most Powerful
Because they involve the use of Magical means to work your will on the Universe.
When you work Magick, you not only gain power but a great responsiblity. Believe it is Unethical to Impose your will on another, except for the pupose of healing. The decision is yours. Your own ethics and concious must be your guide. Remember the Magical principles of Karma: what you do returns thrice to you. By Using Magick, it is if you are creating ripples in a pond of the Universe...
Everything is affected including Yourself.
Red:
Brings physical Love; Sexual potency.
Manifests ambitions on a physical level. Good for people who are listless and have no ambition or drive. Mars is the rulership here. This color is also sacred to Chango. Good for business deals that don`t quite seem to be getting off the ground. Healing for muscle wounds.
Pink:
Love Attraction and devotional Love.
Romantic Love is more involved here, as well as passions and flirtations. Can be used with dealing with bitter people. Example: when you have to work with someone and there is a lot of clash, this will help sweeten up thier disposition. Brings friendships. Best used with a Yellow, also because this keeps the friendship on a platonic basis. Erzulie and Venus rule here.
Blue:
Peace, Harmony, Protection.
Healing, especially where there are fevers concerned. Reunites frienships. House blessing for new home. Works well with all neutralizing acts of Magick, breaking bad habits (including all over-indulgence, be they in food, alcohol, or drugs). Calms the nerves and will calm the atmosphere of a home where there is calamity, too many arguements, or where a recent tramatic experience has taken place. I strongly advise a white uncrossing in this case, with the blue. The higher Octave of Jupiter rules here; also the planet Neptune. Yes, this color is also good for psychic work, although I prefer purple myself.
Green:
Money drawing, of course.
Now, after love, we come to everybody's next cause, or visa versa. But this is only a part of it, for here we have the planetary vibration of Venus. Yes, she rules on an earthly level. Green can attract all the Venus rules in a material sense... treasures, antiques, worldly possessions, ect. This is best worked with an orange Mercury candle so that obstacles are removed and the way to hidden treasure is opened. Green is also a color of healing for physical disorders and diseases having to do with female problems. Use green in healing cancer. It is the devotional color to Mother Earth.
Orange:
Communication is the keyword here.
This color is ruled by Mercury, Divine Messenger of the Gods. Having a lot of red-tape latley? This candle can be the scissors that cuts through it. Success spells and favorable decisions are best started here. If you are having trounle getting your thoughts collected, or in expressing your desires, orange is your best bet. When there is a lot of confusion and people are saying the same thing, but not hearing eachother, blue, pink, or even white works well with orange, depending on the situation. This also works well when two people desire to open thier telepathic senses together. However, both people should be in agreement on this. Do not use this to invade another, for Mercury is a trickster and the trick might be played on you. Excellent for job hunting and success of any nature.
Purple:
Royal workings for honor and regonition in acquiring wealth.
Respect of others. This color is ruled by Jupiter, so remember, if you haven`t completed the reason for acquiring honors and reconition, purple rules higher knowledge. First accomplish the work , then invoke the honors. We cannot put the cart before the horse. Good in winning in court cases, law suits, ect. All psychic work and attaining wisdom through psychic visions can use purple. Excellant for expansions in business and attracting new buisness clients. Good for putting your employer in a jovial mood before you hit them for a raise. This is a color related to power and will work well with other colors, specially orange, green and yellow. For legal cases use brown and orange.
Brown:
This color is worked well on the physical planes.
It is a combination of red/green. Mars and Venus, when blended together, netralize. So brown is often used to separate. But, on the other side of the coin, it is also a color used for grounding and stabilizing that which is not stable. This color falls under the rulership of Pluto, the Lord of the Outer spaces and Dead. Use of this color in all matters dealing with justice, separation, earth elementals and whenever the color brown is mentioned in ritual.
Yellow:
This color represents the brilliance of the Sun.
We use this color in healing, works where higher conciousness is needed, happiness, glory, overcomming injustices, all magical acts that require seals of the Sun. This color is always prescribed when there has been a long dismial period in a person's lifestyle. It attracts weath and acclaim with more notoriety than Jupiter ( puts you in the spotlight). Use for clearing up lung disorders and problems of similar nature. Yellow is ruled by Santeris goddess Oshun And the Sun god Appolo. But Gods are golden in thier nature of things. Oshun rules love and marriage, and Apollo rules the supreme archetype which all people aspire to be likened to.
White:
Here we have the purity of naught.
The serenity of white will bring a clearing effect like a clean sweep. Whether you are using it on a person or to clear away obstacles, it is the best purging of the color spectrum. So it is advised to do an uncrossing before the undertaking of most spells as this will open doors and make a clear path before you. This brings us to the next principle of white... being a virgin color, it will absorb any other color. Example: if in an emergency I need a green candle and there are none available, I can subsitute with a white, for it shall absorbe the color necessary by simply envisioning green light passing through the candle till it is completely green. This color, like neutral gray, is sacred to the moon for its Virgin quailities. Its pantheon aspects tie it to the Yoruban goddess Obatala. And in candle magick we do uncrossings with Ellegua, which works exceptionally well even though his colors are red and black. When you have the proper key, all doors open!
Black:
The polar opposite of white, its attribute is Saturn the Teacher.
Here we must be very careful in selecting this color. Saturn is used for retribution when we have been wronged. We should punish the person immediatly with a hex and let them suffer?That's real power?
Wrong!! Do This And The Laws Of Karma Will Come Back On You
That is why Saturn is called the Teacher. So you learn not to misuse the power of magick, even when someone is doing bad Magick on you. This doesn`t mean you should turn around and try to resolve it the same way. Now then , you might be saying to yourself, well when do I burn black candles anyway? In my opinion, not very often and only when a reputable spell calls for it. Some banishing spells require black. Now then, in the case of murder, rape, muggings and the like physical crimes, I recommend the Balance of Karma Seal with Saturn Oil. Use red and copper glitter. Place this candle in a bowl of water as it will absorb the negative protection candle for yourself and take plenty of salt water baths, at least three in a weeks time.
Note: The Astral World is composed of highly concentrated colors. Everything that exsists on this plane is in colorforms. Each plane of correspondence to a paticular color.
BE CLEAR ON WHAT YOU WANT.
Forever remember: be careful on what you invoke, for you may recieve it.
