Candle magic | ebook PDF & EPUB

Candle magic

Choose a colour, craft your candle and bring meaning to your practice.

Which wax should you use? What does a colour represent? How can you make a candle and bring it into a ritual? Candle magic takes you from materials to symbolism, with accessible explanations, detailed sketches and practices linked to their sources.

An illustrated guide of 69 pages in English, organised into eight main parts, exploring candles both as objects to make and as companions to esoteric practice.

Your purchase includes the English and French editions, each in PDF and EPUB: four digital files in total.

Understand colours, shapes and materials

Explore colour correspondences, shades and their role in choosing an intention. Discover candle shapes, waxes, wicks and containers, with their advantages, limitations and practical guidance for making your choices.

Make your own candles with eight illustrated tutorials

Rolled beeswax candles, container candles, moulded pillars, dipped candles, votives, tealights, floating candles and coloured layers: eight tutorials introduce the main techniques, with variations and illustrations that help explain the steps.

Setting up your workspace, choosing tools, adding colour and carrying out burn tests complete the craft section.

Explore six practices linked to historical texts

Consecrating light, contemplation before fire, honouring the hearth with Vesta, practices centred on the Sun and Moon, and a water mirror with two candles: each practice includes its references and guidance for use.

The quoted texts and formulas let you explore the practices while tracing their origins. Adaptations are identified alongside the relevant passages.

Read the flame and the traces of wax

Observe the flame, its movements and the shapes left by wax. Labelled illustrations and examples support symbolic reading, connecting the images with your question and intuition.

An illustrated book made for easy navigation

Eight illustrated openings mark the main parts. Clickable contents, links between chapters and the “Find your practice” section help you reach a tutorial, a colour or a ritual quickly.

Following Beneath the ash and the laurel and The great book of sigils, Thomas « Gabriel » Messager invites you to explore a familiar part of ritual practice: the candle.
