Customer Reviews

I wasn't impressed.

I didn't find the information useful or helpful. There seems to be a lot of confusion in the field of candle magic as of so far no two books on the topic can agree on much. I think you could find the same quality of information for free on this topic from a simple Internet search. Save your money and just pass.

Candle Magic For Beginners

Great book for the beginner. This book has lots of useful information in an easy to understand format.

Gift for Friend

I bought this book for a friend and she seems very satisfied with it. She asked for a book to help her with candle stuff and I figured the basics was the best for her.

Great introduction to candle magic.

I found this book very interesting. It improved my meditaion skills as well as my overall sense of well being. One of my favorite chapters has to be when the author goes in-depth with colors and possible personal makeup traits or characteristics in a great chapter titled "Numerology and Candles." So, if your looking for a basic introduction to candle magic look no further.

Simple Candle Magic

If you want a book to explain to you how to use simple candle magic, this is probably the best one you could get. It explains all the basics (cleansing, consecrating, and dressing the candle) and it even goes into the not-so-usual ways of using numerology and magic squares to enhance your candle magic. He explains the different types of candles, the tools you'll need; the importance of color, fragrance, and timing to get better results. There's a chapter on healing, a chapter on divination with candles, and a chapter with some candle rituals for you to try. There are even instructions on making your own candles, if that's your thing. Finally, the conclusion urges the reader to actually start practicing what was presented in the book. I liked that part the most because I know a lot of people who read books on magic rarely take the time to practice it (I've been guilty of this in the past myself). All in all, a pretty good introduction to the topic. Although, keep in mind that the book is by a New Age author. If you're a witch looking for a book on candle magic, I'd still recommend it to you, but just keep in mind that the book comes more from a New Age perspective than anything else. Good intro to candle magic and a definite keeper! -Ater
