Well, that's a very general topic. Different colored candles excel at different types of magick, but the colors vary from caster to caster. For example, most casters associate a black candle with negative energy, but I use it for protection and peace of mind most of the time. I can't tell you much about spells specifically, though.

If you search the forum you will find several posts on candle magic that explain it indepth.

I'd recommend the books "Practical Candle-Burning Rituals " and " Advanced Candle Magick " by Ray Buckland for excellent instructions on this topic.

And some good on-line resources include:

Candle magic is simply the incorppration of candles in spell casting. Some people choose to use a candle as a focal point, or a symbolic representation of different aspects of what they are trying to accomplish.

The flame may be used as a representation of energy, or cleansing, purging, or whatever the person wants it to be.

The color may be used specifically for some correspondence the person wants to convey.

Burn time, the way the wax melts, dripping the wax onto objects or into containers, uses for divination, and so much more, are all incorporated into candle magic.
