Brown candles remind us of the earth, trees, nature, and precisely because of that, they’re candles for stability. Let’s learn more about a brown candle meaning and symbolism.

How Should Brown Candles be Used?
Brown candles are used in rituals where we want to keep something we already have.
We use them when we do not want to remove something from our lives, and we don’t use them for attracting something – we use them when we want to keep something.
So, if something goes well, for example, if a relationship is strong, if a job makes us happy or ultimately, if we have a situation in which we feel happy, we can exercise a ritual with brown candles to wish that it never ends.
Also, in remembering the earth and mother nature in some way, it is used in fertility rituals, it also makes sense in the desire that the seed remains and flourish within us. So keep that in mind!
If you are in a sensitive moment, do not use brown candles. It is a candle that also evokes feelings from the past, so if you plan to use one, you must have a strong spirit.

Meaning of the Brown Color
Brown is the color of the earth, so it means that when we step on the earth, we’re settled on it, and on it, we stand firm.
Hence, turning on the brown color is done to keep the ground we step on. That’s regardless of the field of life to which we refer.
Elements Associated with Brown
More than ever, the natural elements are essential because brown is all about the energy on the earth.
The elements are the following:
- Stone: Onyx
- Planet Jupiter
- Day of the week: Thursday
- Flowers: Honeysuckle
- Time: Afternoon
- Number: 4
The onyx is a very blunt stone, semi-precious, and at the same time, with a rough appearance. It is known as being an antidepressant.
Jupiter invites reflection, it is a planet prone to intelligence, thought, and coherence, and that is why in this case, it is very good to want to keep our feet on the ground when everything is going well and not do crazy things.
Thursday is known as being a serious day. On Thursdays, we become more aware of problems or happiness.
Honeysuckle is a flower that is associated with the purity of the earth – hence its usage in rituals with brown candles.
The rituals should always be done, including meditation, in the afternoons. This time of the day is always quieter and more appropriate to carry out a ritual.
The number chosen in this case is 4.

These are the three most frequent uses of brown candles in white magic:
- Pregnancy: brown is the color of the earth, which represents fertility. Therefore, candles of this color are key in any white magic spell to ask the forces of the universe for pregnancy.
- Stability: as we have pointed out, brown is a color that symbolizes stability. Thus, brown sails are widely used in moorings related to a successful professional future, a strong and consolidated relationship …
- Cleanliness: currently, unfortunately, we live in a world in which envy is widespread. Brown candles help cleanse the soul of everything negative and expel everything that destabilizes the situation. For example in moorings to achieve a job promotion in a hostile work environment with other colleagues.
