Things You Should Know
- Red candles signify passion, power, sex, courage, and victory. Lighting a red candle may boost these traits.
- Light a red candle on a Tuesday for best results, as Tuesday is the day associated with Mars, the god of war.
- To perform a spell, dress your candle in oil, recite what you want to manifest, then light the candle. Watch the flame to see if the spell was successful or not.

How to Do Spells with Red Candles
-
Dress your candle with oil. Rub oil on the candle from bottom to top to expel anything you don’t want (say, fear or a feeling of powerlessness). Rub oil from top to bottom to attract what you do want (like courage or sexual prowess). Any oil you’ve got around the house will do, like jojoba or essential oil.
-
Recite your spell and light the candle. Put into words what you want to manifest—for instance, “I want to be more confident” or “I want a flaming hot sex life.” Visualize your ideal outcome. Then, light the candle.
-
Interpret the candle’s flame. Watch the candle’s aura—the shapes the flame makes as it moves—to figure out if the ritual worked or not:
- If the flame is tall , the ritual is a success.
- If the flame pops or sizzles , it could mean a spirit from the beyond is trying to communicate with you. What “words” do the pops and crackles sound like? Try to make them out, and don’t overthink it.
- If the candle refuses to light , there could be negative forces interfering with your spell, and you may need to try again later.
