Orange Candle Meaning & Magick
Orange spell candles are a combination of yellow (mental agility) and red (action-energy), thus you have the best of both of these worlds when you choose to use an orange candle for your casting. Orange solar energy builds vitality, power, and stamina. Orange is a very outgoing and assertive sort of magickal vibration.
What Do Orange Coloured Candles Represent?
They encourage fun and a carefree nature while discouraging lethargy and laziness! Orange is attuned to warmth, spirit, willpower, personal strength, authority, and alertness. Because of this, orange candles have come to represent pride, courage, heroism, kinship, ambition, abundance, trade, enterprise, business deals, creativity, and spells involving the law or justice!
What Are Orange Coloured Candles Used For?
Orange candles help in spells or rituals that seek to attract wellness, prosperity, good fortune, high energy, business or career success, and for the positive attraction or energizing of others. They help with adaptability, creativity, sexual attraction, sexual stimulation, and enthusiasm with a natural sense of impulsiveness.
Orange candles help with attraction, strengthening friendships, adjustment to sudden changes, regaining control of a situation, changing your luck or circumstance, and inciting justice.
They are used for encouragement, confidence, courage, self-esteem, independence, kindness, good health, weight loss, joy, spontaneity, and power enhancement.
Orange candles can even be used to stimulate or stir up the otherwise stagnant energies of another spell candle workings by spurring them onward to fruition whenever a spell or ritual is feeling particularly sluggish.
Rituals with these candles can also be used for success in career or business matters whenever dealing with other people on a creative or inspirational level is often required. Orange candles can be used to cleanse a space of any negative energies and to impart a sense of sunny creativity or joyful high energy in its place.
Because of this, they are often favoured for home and studio use by many “Art Witches” and others who live and work in a creative field. Use it if you find yourself lacking vitality or motivation, and for goal-setting when you need a push of encouragement to achieve your goals!
Simple Spells Using Orange Candles
Guidance & Inspiration Spell
This simple spell calls upon the gentle guiding energies of the universe to lend their aid during times of trouble or when a boost of inspiration and courage is needed.
Magickal Materials:
- 1x Orange Spell Candle
- 1x Wooden Match (preferably no metal lighters!)
- 1x Candle Holder or Plate (any material is fine)
- 3-5 Drops of Orange Blossom Oil Blend
- A Pinch of Dried Lemon and/or Orange Peels
Magickal Method:
1. Begin this easy guidance spell by finding a quiet place to work where you can be alone with your thoughts and commune with your ancestors or guardian spirits.
2. Once you have found the perfect place, it is time to begin! Take a moment to clear your mind from all distractions and to focus on the positive intent of your spell. Think about what all you have been going through and what lies ahead of you. Think of how you will overcome any obstacles that have been placed in your path and how you will grow in power and spirit from this experience.
3. As you think of how you will overcome adversity and strive for success, dress your orange spell candle by gently anointing it with the orange blossom oil blend making sure to stroke in an upward motion from the middle to the wick and then downward from the middle to the base and so on until the candle is completely covered with the sweet-smelling oil.
4. Finish the candle dressing by gently rolling it around in the dried lemon and/or orange peels and placing it in the candle holder before you.
5. Strike your wooden match and light the spell candle with intent as you speak these words aloud or clearly in your mind:
“Humbly, I call to thee
great-cosmic positive energies.
Come to my side, and serve as my guide
with all the wisdom you provide.
I will keep my head up and my heart wide open,
as my desires to you are spoken.
I call to thee, profound energy,
to fill me with motivation and clarity.
Please come to me, my guide to be.
As I will it, so mote it be.”
6. After speaking your incantation as many times as you feel is necessary – I like to recite mine at least three times – allow your orange spell candle to burn down completely someplace safe where it will not be out of sight.
7. Once your orange candle has burnt all the way down, scrape up the wax remains and bury them in the cool soil under a large shade tree. Make sure to thank your guiding spirits and to have faith that all is well.
You are prepared to take on anything!
A Spell for Creativity
Creative energy abounds! With this spell, you shall harness it from all around!
Magickal Materials:
- 1x Orange Spell Candle
- 2x Wooden Matches (preferably no metal lighters!)
- 1x Candle Holder or Plate (any material is fine)
- 1x Incense Holder or Heat-Proof Plate
- 1x Rosemary Incense or 3-6 Sprigs of Rosemary Bound with Jute Twine
- A Small Bell or Chime (even wind chimes will work in a pinch!)
Magickal Method:
1. Begin this energy-boosting spell by casting your sacred circle while focusing your mind on receiving creative inspiration!
2. Strike the first wooden match and gently burn the rosemary incense or sprigs as you meditate on your intentions for a couple of moments quietly.
3. Now, strike the second wooden match and carefully light your orange spell candle. As you light it recite these magick words:
“Powers of air, of beginnings and light
Descend upon me and bless this rite.
Send to me the power to know
And help my creativity to grow.”
4. Sit before the spell candle and watch as its flame flickers and dances with life before you. As you watch it, imagine its light slowly spreading out and surrounding your head, clearing your mind of any distracting thoughts and fading away any worries. Let the light of your spell flame illuminate and inspire your mind!
5. After a few moments of this meditation, gently ring the bell or chime and speak clearly the following magick words:
“Spirits of the muses nine
Let inspiration soon be mine.
Fill my mind and let me be,
A fountain of creativity!”
6. Now ring the bell or chime again, this time louder, and say:
“The spell is cast! So mote it be!”
*Witchy Tip: Make sure to thank your guiding spirits, the muses, and your ancestors. Always show gratitude and respect to nature, the elements, and all those who hold your best interest at heart or who lend their powers and energy to your own.
