When the spell is complete and it is an ongoing one, everything may be
left on the altar in place for the next day. The candles should never be
blown out as this is dismissive of the element of fire that is usually
summoned at the opening of a ritual. It should also be borne in mind
that while the same candle may be reused as part of an ongoing spell, it
should never be reused for another one. Once consecrated for a
particular purpose, a candle’s energies can only be directed towards that
intent. Even if there is a spell that has to be woven urgently, something
that is not advisable but very occasionally essential, and the only candle
of the right colour is one that has already been used for another purpose,
the temptation to use it again must be resisted. Use a white candle
instead. Made up of the seven colours of the spectrum, white can stand
in for any of them, although the magic will probably be a little weaker
than if the proper colour was used.
One of the most common uses of candle magic is to cast healing spells.

blue or green candles should be used. But if the problem is more specific
then there is a suitable colour to use. For problems concerned with sexual
function, a red candle is called for. If fertility problems are being
addressed, then a green one should be used. Violet coloured candles
