The principle of candles and fire in rituals?

[Mulberry]

I thought of something else, specific to candles, you can use the surface of the candle body as a canvas that adds to the working. E.g. carve a sigil on the candle, enchant it, “dress” it with magickal oils and herbs, some people match the candle color with a symbolic meaning etc.

The fact itself is the need for a candle

So yes this is also an option.

This principle is used heavily in “candle magick”, for which you can get whole books. We have a popular thread going on right now that gives an example of this:

The first thing you have to do is insert 2 sewing needles into the candle at the top as in the picture. Then you have to carve the person’s first and last name into the candle.

So it comes down to personal choice on how you design the ritual, what you want to do with it and the tools you choose to work it.
