Candle Color and Combination Guide

How to use this guide

  1. Pick your intention (love, money, protection, legal matters, clarity, healing support, etc.).
  2. Choose a base color that matches that intention.
  3. Upgrade with a second color to add power, direction, protection, or balance (this is where dual‑action candles shine).
  4. Keep it simple: one clear intention per working is usually more effective than mixing too many goals at once.

Important note: This is spiritual/folk‑tradition guidance. It is not medical, legal, or financial advice. If you’re dealing with a health crisis, legal emergency, or danger, please seek qualified help.
