Cleansing Candles

Description

Ritual use of candles for spiritual cleansing is one of the most accessible and powerful practices in Latin American esoteric tradition. Each candle colour has a specific purpose: white purifies, black absorbs negativity, purple transmutes dense energies, and blue brings peace.

Materials Needed

• •1 white candle (purification)
• •1 black candle (absorbs negativity)
• •1 white ceramic plate
• •Olive oil for anointing
• •Coarse salt for the base plate
• •Wooden matches (avoid lighters)

Step by Step

1. 1

   Anoint the white candle with olive oil from base to tip (attracts purification).

2. 2

   Anoint the black candle from tip to base (repels negativity).

3. 3

   Place coarse salt on the plate as a protective base.

4. 4

   Position the black candle on the left and white on the right.

5. 5

   Light the black candle first and ask it to absorb all negativity.

6. 6

   Then light the white candle and ask for purification and divine protection.

7. 7

   Sit in meditation before the candles for 15-20 minutes.

8. 8

   Let the candles burn completely — never blow them out.

9. 9

   Observe the flames for signs of successful cleansing.
