In my belief, the colors represent different divsions of spirits.  I light colors based on which spirit I am dealing with.

I use a nifty trick with candle colors when I'm going to do an indepth read and I need to disconnect. I'll use a white uncented candle for the devine holy light and then I use orange (my favorite color) for my aura. It helps ground me while helping me to move from this side and the otherside as well.

Wow very interesting to know, I kinda work the same way with the colors.  For me colors represent different groups of spirits, so depending on which group i decide to work with thats the candle color i use.  Bu i never use scented candles unless i have no choice.

In my experiance with candle colors the more colors you use that have similar properties the better the Magic works, for example red and pink both deal with love, and red is more passionate, pink is more Harmony put them together and the relationship is Harmoniously Passionate.  If you look for the common properties you can  mix and match for a more solid and accurate effect.  and all things no matter what can be dealt with  in this manner.  Too many people want to say only one color per problem/ situation, But in reality the more you  have with similiar properties the Better.... well you all probably knew this already , but there you are...LOL

I think candles are very personal..... Like someone who can't stand the color pink isn't going to use the candle at all. Doesn't mean they can't still make things work.... Candles to me are more about helping your energy find a path to work.

Very true, But not using a color just because you dislike it is a bit silly, in my now 17 years of experiance have come to see the reason for mix and match even in if you don't like the color.... but you are absolutly correct
