How to Work with an Orange Candle
Orange candles are best lit on Sundays, as they are connected with the Sun.
When lighting an orange candle, picture the bright flame. See it as a beacon that directs your energy toward your desired outcome. Feel the warmth radiating from the candle and filling your intention with determination.
Before starting a ritual with an orange candle, choose a quiet, serene place. Cleanse the space with sage or palo santo (light a bundle, blow it out, and smudge the room with the smoke). If you don’t have these herbs, simply air out the room.
To strengthen the effect during the ritual, place crystals around the orange candle that resonate with its energy:
-
Citrine: supports creativity and prosperity
-
Clear Quartz: energizes and aids healing
-
Orange Calcite: boosts motivation
To prepare the candle for the ritual — anoint it with essential oil (rub the oil in thoroughly with your fingers). This connects you to the candle and amplifies your spell. If you don’t have essential oil, use any natural oil: olive, almond, or coconut.
-
If you want to release something (fear, anxiety, doubt), rub the oil from top to bottom.
-
If you want to attract or manifest something, rub the oil from bottom to top.
Then light the candle and clearly state your intention. It’s best if you can visualize your goal. For example, if you’re searching for the perfect job, imagine yourself already working and succeeding in that position. Once you see these images in your mind, say your wish out loud and light the candle.
Rituals Using an Orange Candle
1. Motivation and Attracting Change
This is a meditation with an orange candle. It helps bring clarity and move you forward toward your desired outcome — especially useful if you’re thinking about changing jobs or setting a new business goal.
Steps:
-
Find a quiet, peaceful place for meditation. Remove all distractions (light, phone, TV, etc.).
-
Place the orange candle in front of you at eye level.
-
Light it and gaze at it. Focus only on the candle, blocking out other thoughts.
-
Stay in this state for 10 minutes. If your mind wanders, gently return your focus to the candle.
-
When you feel ready, gradually look around and exit the meditative state.
At the end of the meditation, don’t blow out the candle — use a snuffer or your fingers to extinguish the flame.
2. Improving Friendships and Work Relationships
You’ll need:
-
2 orange candles
-
Wooden toothpick
-
Pen and paper
Steps:
-
Take one candle and carve your name into it with the toothpick. On the second, carve the other person’s name, starting from the wick.
-
Place the candles 10–12 cm apart.
-
Meditate on the desired result while looking at the flame for 7 days. Each day, move the candles closer together.
-
On the seventh day, write your wish on paper and place it under the candles, now standing close together.
-
When the candles burn out, burn the paper and scatter the ashes to the wind.
3. Love Ritual for Couples (To Strengthen Passion)
You’ll need:
-
2 orange candles
-
A white lily
-
Matches
Steps:
Important! This ritual must be done on a Sunday at sunrise. The power of the orange candle is stronger when the sun is rising.
Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Sit on the floor near a window or outside your house. Sit so you can see the sunrise. Place two orange candles in front of you about 60 cm apart.
Put the white lily between them. Light one orange candle with a match and use it to light the second one. Take the lily and hold it to your chest, thinking about the qualities of your beloved that you love most. Say your beloved’s name out loud, kiss the lily, and place it back on the ground between the candles.
Wait for the sunrise, then extinguish the candles. Repeat this ritual two more times (always on Sunday at the same time).
4. Attracting Money
You’ll need:
-
1 orange candle
-
10 copper coins
-
White cloth napkin
-
Matches
Steps:
Important! This ritual should be done at sunset.
Find a quiet, calm place. Sit comfortably. Place the orange candle on a table (preferably a round one). Light the candle with a match. Put ten copper coins in the white cloth napkin. Fold and tie it at both ends so there’s some space in the center (it should look like a wrapped candy).
Say out loud what you need the money for and extinguish the candle. For a week, keep the napkin with the coins on top of your bag or wallet when you’re home. Results should appear within seven days. You can do this ritual as often as you like, but only once a month.
5. Attracting Luck and Success
You’ll need:
-
2 orange candles
-
Documents related to your business or studies
-
Any gold item (not white gold)
Steps:
Important! This ritual is for students with upcoming exams or businesspeople with an important meeting or task.
Find a quiet place where you won’t be distracted. Place two orange candles on a table, one in each corner. Light the candles and place the documents or study materials in the center of the table. Put the gold item on top of the papers (a small item works best). Read the documents. After reading, extinguish the candles and put the gold item in your pocket. Carry it until the exam or important event is over. The gold item will work as an amulet empowered by the ritual’s energy.
