Magical Properties of the Purple Candle

Purple — the Symbol of Spirituality and Transformation

Purple symbolizes spirituality and transformation. It is the color of intuition and understanding the essence of things.

Purple is a blend of red and blue. Accordingly, it carries properties of both colors yet holds its own unique meaning:

Red — passion and physicality
Blue — wisdom and intellect

The integration of opposites is the goal of a magical adept: the red candle is for Power, the blue for Truth, and the purple candle is for Understanding.

A purple candle will help strengthen intuition, spiritual enlightenment, manifestation, and creativity.

Purple resonates with higher wisdom, a deep connection to the Divine, and spiritual understanding. Lighting a purple candle during ritual attracts energies of intuition, spiritual growth, and psychic abilities.

Which Chakra It Corresponds To

Purple is linked with the Moon and corresponds to the 7th chakra — Sahasrara (the Crown chakra).

Planet and Zodiac Sign

Purple is associated with the planet Jupiter. When used for protection and wisdom, it also shows traits of Saturn. Its connection to psychic matters and dreams points to lunar energy as well.

Purple aligns with the zodiac sign Sagittarius, guiding it to higher states of consciousness.

How to Work with a Purple Candle

Purple candles draw most of their energy from Jupiter, which is associated with Thursday. If you need luck or spiritual guidance, light a purple candle on a Thursday during a Full Moon or New Moon.

To activate the Third Eye chakra and tap into psychic abilities, perform rituals with a purple candle on Mondays.

When working with Tarot cards or runes, use purple candles blessed under the light of the Full Moon. Store them in a closed box with a moonstone and quartz crystal. Light one each time you do a reading.

To develop psychic abilities, light a purple candle and meditate on its flickering flame. Observe the flame for a minute, then close your eyes and see how it projects behind your eyelids. Feel how the flame warms your Third Eye. Sense how you absorb the candle’s light energy, burning away stagnant parts of your mind.

To cast a spell with a purple candle, sit in a quiet room and define your clear intention. Cleanse the space with smoke or sage incense. Think carefully about what you want, then speak your wish out loud in the present or future tense.
