It symbolizes the most sensual and sexual side of the individual; in fact, it has excellent potential as a natural aphrodisiac. The clarity of its tone and its light denotes beauty, harmony, and a high sense of aesthetics.

Rituals and Spells with Blue Candles
A Love Ritual with a Blue Candle
This is a traditional ritual that’ll help you find out if a specific person is in love with you or not.
Some witches might choose red or green candles.
I prefer the blue one, because it seems to me that although it’s a love ritual, the red candle might be more appropriate, I think that since this is a spiritual consultation, I prefer the purity of a blue color.
As I always tell you, the effectiveness of rituals depends mainly on your faith in them, and your ability to awaken the hidden energies that surround us. These energies can change the circumstances of our lives positively (or sometimes negatively if you don’t follow the procedures).
Things you need
- A blue candle
- A white paper
- A pen with blue ink
How it’s done
Before starting to perform this powerful ritual, you must concentrate on what you are going to do. Think about the goal you are pursuing and that what you are doing is a path that will take you there.
Prepare the altar as usual.
Take a plain white paper that you have chosen for this ritual and write the name of the person in the shape of the heart, using the blue ink pen.
Optional: if his/her name is short, you can write it like usual, and draw a heart around his/her name.
Then place a candle on top of the paper. Turn it on and let it burn for six minutes.
While the candle is lit, you must think about that person, whether man or woman, that’s special to you.
Focus on the love you feel and the desire to be with him/her, look at his/her name.
Turn off the candle, and now it’s time for the critical part of this ritual.
You must count the number of drops of wax that have fallen on the paper.
If none has fallen, you probably he/she has his/her heart occupied by some other person.
If two to six drops have fallen, his/her heart isn’t sure about you.
On the other hand, if more than six drops have fallen, it is most likely his/her heart is free, and until you can be one of the options.
Of course, it will be meaningless if you force the wax to fall or questions like that.
Improvement Spell with a Blue Candle
It is preferable to perform this spell as soon as the moon rises (check the newspaper or the meteorological service to find out what hour is that).
Do not do it during the sunny hours.
Things you need
- One consecrated large cylindrical blue candle
- One piece of paper
How it’s done
Be very clear about what aspects you want to improve, and who you want to help.
For example, you want to help your friend to do better in school, or love or at work. You can also help yourself.
Write on the blue candle, the names of the people who participate.
For example, yours, if you ask for yourself, your husband’s if you want to help him or the name of some other person you want to help.
Then take a small piece of paper and write on it how (or where) you want to help that person.
Light the blue candle, look at the flame of the candle, and think that energy is directed to fulfill your desires.
Burn the paper where you wrote the wishes while reciting the following:
“By the light of the moon, which extends its loving hands towards us, I ask you to fulfill my desires, bathe with this light well-done my desires, throughout the whole earth, send the energies so that they are fulfilled, improve this earth, and so my desires will improve.”
Remain silent for a few minutes watching the candle flame thinking firmly about what you asked to improve.
Then let the candle burn down completely.
