The color purple is often seen as a symbol of mystery, magic, and spiritual insight. In candle magick, purple is commonly linked to psychic abilities, intuition, and exploring the unknown.
Lighting a purple candle is thought to support practices such as tarot reading, scrying, or dream work. It may also be used to encourage meditation, astral travel, and to help strengthen connections with spirit guides or higher consciousness.
Historically, purple represented royalty and nobility because purple dyes were rare and expensive. For this reason, purple candles are sometimes chosen for magick involving wishes, ambition, personal power, or authority.
When using purple candles, some practitioners focus on manifesting goals, seeking wisdom, or inviting spiritual protection. The energy of purple is believed to help open the mind to new possibilities and deepen understanding of oneself and the universe.
