Candle Magick:
Heres some thought for them who think they have never cast any type of Candle Magick: Most of us have performed our first act of candle magick by the time we are two years old. Blowing out the tiny candles on our first birthday cake and making a wish is pure magick. This childhood custom is based on the three magickal principles of concentration, will power and visualization. In simple terms, the child who wants his wish to come true has to concentrate (blow out the candles), visualize the end result (make a wish) and hope that it will come true (will power). One last note, the candles you use for any type of magickal use should be virgin, that is unused. Under no circumstances use a candle which has already adorned a dinner table or been used as a bedroom candle or night-light. There is a very good occult reason for not using anything but virgin materials in magick. Vibrations picked up by secondhand materials or equipment may disturb your workings and negate their effectiveness. (http://www.empathys.co.uk/19.html)
