The color green has long been associated with growth, and why not? It’s the color of plants and money, after all. To learn more about the meaning of green candles, the significance of different hues, and tips for using candles in rituals, read on!
Things You Should Know
- Green candles signify luck, prosperity, personal growth, and fertility.
- To use a green candle in a ritual, decide what you want to manifest, and then speak your goal aloud as you light the candle to ignite its magickal properties.

How to Use Green Candles in Rituals
-
Ask yourself what you want to manifest. Are you feeling discouraged or unsure and in need of a personal boost? Are you hurting financially and could use some money magick? Clarifying your vision will help you manifest it.
- Try saying your goals aloud, or writing them down in a journal . Being able to translate your goals into words can help you make them more concrete instead of letting them float around abstractly in your head.
- You might say (or write) something like, “I want to manifest a new, higher-paying job” or “I want to cultivate a thriving social life.”
-
Choose an auspicious day to perform your ritual. Be intentional about when you light your candle: certain days and times carry different magick with them. Depending on the time of the day, week, month, or year you perform your candle ritual, you may achieve better results.
- Green candles are more effective on Fridays, the day associated with the goddess Venus, so why not unwind at the end of a long week with a little candle magick?
- Perform your ritual during the New Moon to add a little positivity to your spell. The New Moon carries powerful manifestation properties.
-
Dress your candle in oil. Rubbing oil on the candle from bottom to top will help you expel something from your life (say, debt or general misfortune) while rubbing the oil on from top to bottom will help bring something into your life (like a baby or more money). As you massage the candle, focus on what you want to manifest. Just be sure to avoid getting oil on the wick!
- You can dress your candle using any oil you’ve got around the house, like jojoba or olive oil or essential oils.
-
Create your magick spell. You don’t need to be an expert witch to make candle magick work for you. Making a spell can be as simple as just saying what you want out loud and then lighting your candle to ignite its magick. But you can also enhance the efficacy of your spell with a few tricks:
- Create a song or a chant about what you want to manifest. Music and rhythm will add special power to your spell. You don’t have to get too wild or creative with it—you could even just sing or chant the same sentence over and over again. (And no, it doesn’t matter if you’re a terrible singer.)
- If you've written down what you want to manifest, you may opt to burn the paper during your ritual. Just be sure not to catch anything else on fire!
-
Perform your ritual. Focus all of your energy and intention on what you want. Visualize your ideal outcome, whether it be winning the lottery, thriving in a new job, or simply being able to pay this month’s rent. Sing, chant, or say what you want to manifest aloud, and light the candle.
- Just be sure to light your candle away from anything that could catch fire!
- Place relevant crystals around your candle to enhance its strength. For instance, if you want to bless your finances, add some citrine; if you’re looking for general good fortune, try malachite or green aventurine. [5] X Research source
-
Interpret the candle’s aura. Focus on the candle’s aura—the movement of the flame and the light it casts on your surroundings. Different movements and sounds will help you interpret the flame's meaning . Continue to sing or chant for as long as you feel moved to. Once your attention starts to wane, blow out the candle.
- If the flame is tall and stable, the ritual is successful.
- If the candle sizzles or pops, this could mean a spirit from the beyond is trying to communicate with you. To interpret their message, try to tell what words the crackles sound like. Don’t overthink it—just go with the first thing you hear.
- Stare at the flame until your eyes go out of focus. What images do you see in the fire? What visions is the candle sending you?
- If the candle refuses to light, or if the flame is weak or falters, it could indicate there are negative forces interfering with your ritual and you may want to try again later.
