Book: Exploring Candle Magick by Patricia Telesco

As with most of Patricia Telesco's books, "Exploring Candle Magick" is an eclectic mixture of how-to information, folklore, Spiritual Practice, and common sense. This is a great all-in-one reference for anyone who likes to use candles as part of their spiritual life, as the book can be used in any number of ways: there are reference lists on the meaning of color, fragrance, placement, and even a section on candles and Feng Shui. This is an all-around useful volume for general information on candles and ritual.

Although we know that fire was discovered in prehistoric times, the candle as we know it did not exist until about 1200. As Patricia Telesco (A Charmed Life; Wicca 2000) avers in Exploring Candle Magick: Candle Spells, Charms, Rituals, and Divinations, candles have always had a ritualistic component, and because they have so long been part of everyday life, the idea of using them as amulets, charms and magical devices is an accessible one. Written expressly for those who believe in magic, her book examines the topic in full from making candles to using them ritualistically and even uncovers the relationship between candle magic and feng shui.

This wonderful, whimsical look at candles gives us a whole new appreciation for these wax sources of illumination. Candlelight is magickal. It casts a gentle warmth and glow all around. And in the shadows of that light we find a rich history filled with myth, lore, superstition, and spells! Exploring Candle Magick brings this history to life. With Exploring Candle Magick, you can join that tradition and learn how to: -Choose candles that harmonize with your astrological sign.

- Burn candles effectively as a spell component.
- Make magickal candles from scratch.
- Use candles as charms and amulets.
- Decorate candles to reflect any goal including love, prosperity, health, and happiness.
- Combine Feng Shui with candle-burning efforts.
