KEY TAKEAWAYS
For Wednesday rituals in daily magic, selecting an appropriate candle color involves aligning with the day’s specific energies and planetary influences.
Wednesday is traditionally associated with Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, making yellow a fitting choice for its association with mental clarity and communication skills.
Alternatively, purple can be used to tap into Mercury’s connection to wisdom and spiritual insight.
Using these colored candles in Wednesday rituals can help enhance communication, foster intellectual growth, and support spiritual exploration.

Which candle color should you light on Wednesday?
Purple candles are the best candles to light on a Wednesday.
Why purple?
A purple candle is so perfect for this day as it was born from a mixture of red (love) and blue (wisdom). It is the color of metamorphosis, transition, mystery, and magic. It is the color of spirituality and erotic fascination, indicating the union of opposites.
Purple often represents wealth and justice. It is the color with the greatest energetic properties of the visible spectrum. In nature, purple appears in many different shades depending on how blue and red are used to make it. That is why in occult symbolism, the presence of red, the color of Fire and life, and that of blue, the air, the Sky, is also connoted by purple.
The lighter shades express sensuality, the darker spirituality. Today, purple can also represent the transition between life and immortality. Spirituality is veiled by a shade of sadness or melancholy, which implies the memory of earthly things. Violet is the flower of modesty, where the blue of wisdom fights the red of the ego.

Before we continue
I was honored when I was recently asked by Court TV producers to consult on a case.
You can view the clip below. This case is a great example of why I do not cast any spells that have harmful intentions. As a Professional Spellcaster, I work with clients from all over the world and it’s important to me to remain grounded and stay ‘in the light’ so that I can help as many people as possible.
Working with candles takes skill and patience and isn’t recommended in most cases. I provide these “do it yourself” articles for educational purposes, but it is strongly recommended that you consult a divination expert such as Mystic Amber and allow us to do the work for you.
This way you know it’s being done by someone experienced and knowledgeable and we’re also always here to answer questions about your reading and provide follow-up at no additional charge.

There are plenty of other magical tools you can use to enhance Wednesday’s energy. Below are just a few. Make sure to pick the tools that you feel a strong connection with.
Anzus
The Anzus rune is dedicated to the guidance and intuition of your spirit and your higher self. You can use the rune itself or you can draw it on a piece of paper to keep with you when you feel lost.
A sigil
If you like sigils you can create your own to connect with the energy of this day. You can use an affirmation such as “MY MIND IS OPEN / MY INTUITION IS READY”.
You can then draw the sigil and keep it with you to let it support you when you need it the most.
The Magician
The magician tarot card reminds you that you have endless potential and the skills and the ability to work with your spiritual self. You just need to embrace these skills and master them. Placing this card on your altar will boost your confidence in your spiritual and psychic practice. Alternatively, you can keep it with you when you need some guidance or you need to use your intuition.
Amethyst
This purple stone represents the purity of the spirit. Its purplish and reddish hues represent the punishing and purifying effects of suffering. In the past, it was believed that the colors of the amethyst alluded to the wounds and sufferings of Christ, therefore such gems were used to aid in healing wounds. In the present, the amethyst represents the heart of the humble who die with Christ.
It represents those who pray for their enemies and their persecutors. Roman Catholic bishops wear this purple quartz as a symbol of trust, piety, humility, sincerity and spiritual wisdom.
Many cultures find spiritual undertones in these purple stones. Often seen as a stone of peace, some believe that its calming presence produces soothing dreams by bringing the dreamer more in tune with the Divine.
This clarity and tranquility also extend to the alert mind. These hard stones are said to help the mind flow freely in both the mental and metaphysical dimensions. Many psychics preserve this gem with their tarot cards or other oracular instruments. The ancient Egyptians transformed amethyst stones into amulets, both for use in prayer and for protection.
