Candle Colors and Their Meanings

How many of you burn candles but have little knowledge of what each color represents. I’m guilty; I typically choose a candle color according to the mood I’m in, irrespective of what the color symbolizes. Knowledge is Power so from this point onward, I’ll match my mood with the energy of the candle instead of a color that appeals to me. For whatever reason, the different hues of blue appeal to me this year with the exception of royal blue. I am amazed the color actually corresponds to my emotions. So how are you feeling this holiday season; passionate, psychic, jovial, romantic, or inspirational?
