Lighting a candle in your home is more than creating a mood or just providing a pleasant scent. They are a groundbreaking tool that can open avenues for opportunity, blessings, and great healing. There has been speculation regarding the morality in lighting candles due to many misconceptions. On the contrary, candles have widely used in various spiritual and religious ceremonies throughout the period. They have originated from such things rather than your usual first thought associating with a woman wearing a pointy hat and a horrendous nose.
The use of candles can sometimes be looked down upon by those who see it as witchcraft, sorcery, or cursing, though there are a few candle practices almost everyone has participated.
When your Corporate Event Birthday Party comes around yearly, you are blowing out the candles on your cake, intending to manifest a wish forward. There is still a question on where the birthday candle originated; thus, candles are associated with symbolism, which comes hand in hand with visualization.
Another practice you partake in is if a loved one has passed, the lighting of a candle is performed to soothe and accompany the soul as it passes over. This practice comforts beloved family members as they are experiencing the grieving process. Some people have claimed they’ve even received signs from their loved ones via candle!
Lastly, the Meditation Class and prayer candle is used when setting their focus and mind to either release old energies or to invite blessings and health into the lives of others or themselves. This practice is associated with spirituality and many religions such as Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism.
Mostly, each one of these lightings is similar to what is done in said “candle magic,” and these are sentimental acts that are not seen as wicked.
