Candle Color and Combination Guide
How to use this guide
- Pick your intention (love, money, protection, legal matters, clarity, healing support, etc.).
- Choose a base color that matches that intention.
- Upgrade with a second color to add power, direction, protection, or balance (this is where dual‑action candles shine).
- 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.

Safety & best practices
- Never leave burning candles unattended. Keep away from children, pets, and anything flammable.
- Trim the wick, use a stable heat‑safe surface, and avoid drafts.
- Spiritual work can be supportive, but it is not a substitute for professional care. For health, legal, or financial emergencies, contact qualified professionals.
- If you’re unsure which combo to pick, choose your main intention + a supporting action (example: Green + Black = prosperity + removing blocks).
