Today Is...Candle Day

To me a candle is a lump of wax with a bit of string through it which you use when the lights go out but to some people they have greater significance especially which colour candle you stick a match to and the aroma which wafts out from them.
Pink candles put you in a romantic frame of mind but you might want to keep some red candles on standby for later because red candles are associated with things like lust, passion, and energy while an Orange candle should be used when you are looking for a creative boost or want to release pent up frustrations while if you are finding it hard to keep your focus or want to calm your mind, light up a yellow candle.
A light blue candle will help you to rationalise a situation but if you are wanting to see things a bit more clearly, reach for the indigo or dark blue one while if you look to escape the real world, a purple one is the candle of choice.
Black candles may be associated more with Halloween or calling up evil spirits at midnight but they are also great for destroying negative thoughts and then you can light up a White candle which promotes cleanliness.
Scented, or aromatherapy candles, are also a thing and woody smelling candles are used to de-stress, the fruity ones for relaxing and help fight insomnia while citrus ones lift your mood.
All this time i thought i had been buying candles depending on which colours went with the soft furnishings or it was our weekly Ouija board night but maybe i will put a bit more thought into it next time, or consider the colour of the cushions, either is good.
