Which candle color should you light on Tuesday?
On Tuesdays, you should light a red candle during your magickal practice.
Why red?
This color symbolizes extroversion and willpower. By affecting the heart rate and blood pressure, it stimulates our body by accelerating vital rhythms. Red is synonymous with strong passion, a great personality, and self-confidence. In addition, red also stimulates creativity and increases self-preservation skills.
Red, along with Yellow and Blue, is a primary color. Out of the three of them, red is used to attract attention and increase adrenaline. It has been used for some time to signal any type of danger or attract the eye, from traffic lights to fire hydrants to alarms.

Those who prefer this color yearn for places of power. They are people with great energy who love to act and always compete with others and, above all, with themselves. They have bold character and always want to catch the attention of others.
Red is the manifestation of the “fire” element, a symbol of continuous transformation, of life and the propensity for a spirit turned upwards. On the other hand, since fire is also dangerous, this is not only an expression of positive vital impulses (for example joy) but also negative ones (such as craving) because one constantly risks getting burned by it.
According to various documents and testimonies, especially from art history, red has often been used as the main color of the clothing of kings, nobles, and religious figures. Over time, red was symbolic of power, respect, and sometimes the struggle to achieve the two.
The best-known symbolism relating to red is that associated with Eros, or passionate love: that of the flesh.
When you mention red, you immediately think of the passion that upsets lovers and the fire that burns in the hearts of those you love.
But red is not only for carnal passion, it is also symbolic of a pure feeling, a union of body and mind.

Ruby
Rubies are gemstones that are associated nowadays with jewelry more than they are with crystal therapy. I will tell you now, however, that the effects of the ruby are exceptional and you can still opt to buy a raw, uncut one.
The prices in this case are more than affordable. It stimulates the first chakra and allows you to work on the kundalini. Use ruby to strengthen your vital energy and to promote spontaneity.
