Q: Hi, I am new to candle spells/magik and was wondering if I would need to wait till a certain type of moon to do any candle work.?
A: OK, there no specific astrological moon sign or phase specific to Candle Magick. However, some do lend themselves to it better than other. Fire signs are a favorite. So when the Moon is in Aries, Leo or Sagittarius you have that elemental power of fire working with you.
I find the moon phases all appropriate for Candle Magick, but make sure you match the intent with the flow of the Moon. For example, Candle Magick adds power during New, Waxing & Full Moon. But is also helps melt away things during Waning & Dark Moon.
Bottom line, candles do what the Witch wants them too, but they are just tools. It is our will, intention & choices which hold the power of fire within us & they work far better & faster than candles alone.
I hope this helps.
