WITCH CAULDRON - CANDLE MAGICK: Deities Associated with Specific Candle Colors:

Throughout my daily life as a witch I may do several spellworkings per day; however, there is nothing quicker than a simple candle spell. Witches, Wicca and other pagan religions have always incorporated the concept of dual deities, the god and goddess, the ying and yang. One is not preferable over the other and a goddess is just as powerful as a god. Below are some of the deities that may be used in rituals and any pagan or wiccan spell casting that come from Norse and Vedic times. We have already looked at the importance of the type of magic and the appropriate color of the candle in relation to carrying out a candle magick ritual and how, different colours are used for different purposes.
