This book covers the full range of Candle magic, from those just starting out wanting to do a simple spell with just a candle and an incantation to someone looking to take it up a notch by making their own candles or carving them or creating beeswax appliques to decorate them. I don't personally do a lot of work with candles because I'm a bit paranoid of burning my house down and the author is good about giving safety reminders throughout the book for this reason. However, I am quite keen on learning more about the different areas of candle reading: ceromancy (wax reading), pyromancy (flame reading), and capnomancy (smoke reading). Check this out if you're looking to start or expand the use of candles in your magic.

Thank you to Netgalley and Llewellyn Publications for providing an e-ARC of this book, however all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I've just started exploring Candle Magic and am SO SO GLAD I read this book to enhance and further my practice. Madame Pamita clearly knows her work and it shows in the attention to detail in her book. I look forward to referencing this book in the future as I continue to hone my craft. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Madame Pamita author and practitioner of tarot, magic, rootwork and witchcraft shares her extensive knowledge of candle magick in her latest offering. You won’t find any witchy woo here. Madame Pamita’s straight up style and her spicy wit is perfect for the novice and the more experienced as all aspects of spell casting with candles including petitions are covered. Methods of divination such as Carromancy, Pyromancy and Capnomancy are also all discussed. Includes an excellent appendix of magical herbs, gemstones, shells, talismans, symbols and their correspondences. Where this books falls down is in its advocation of the use of environmentally destructive glitter. Glitter is a micro plastic that is too small to be caught by waste facilities and does not decompose. It ultimately pollutes our environment and endangers marine life. It has been recorded that candle magick has been around since the ancient Egyptians, glitter is a modern invention by plastic companies in the 1930’s with its fad like use in magick only recently. Please practice your magick responsibly.

I found this title to be fascinating. I'm new to this topic, so I found a lot of really interesting tidbits and ideas. I will be purchasing this for the library in my next purchase. I know it will find readership here. Thank you!

Loved, loved, loved this book!! In depth-book on how to use, create, and work your magic with candles. This book also contains a plethora of information regarding herbal & crystal correspondences. And it speaks on seals, sigils, and symbols. The perfect book to introduce you to candle magic. I enjoyed this book immensely! I voluntarily read this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

The Book of Candle Magic: Candle Spell Secrets to Change Your Life (Llewellyn Publications, October 2020) is a great resource on candle magic for beginner and intermediate practitioners. Madame Pamita uses clear, accessible language to introduce candle magic and lay a basic foundation for this type of spellwork, including how to set up your space, customize your candles for your purpose, and craft each spell according to your specific (or general) needs. The books covers different types of candles, layouts, and gives a generalized guide to the many augmentary magics that can enhance candlework. It also offers comprehensive appendices and further reading resources practitioners can reference in order to deepen their understanding of these augmentary magics as they relate to candlework. The book itself is also quite lovely, with beautiful illumination on many of the pages and rather attractive cover in purple, silver, and gold. All in all, this is a lovely, practical addition to any magical library.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

4.5 stars.
This book is a fantastic guide to candle magic for those like me who are new to this form of magic and even for the more knowledgeable. I have learned so much information from this book and found it interesting and knowledgeable. I am planning on doing my first spell very soon and the information provided in this book has made me feel more confident in doing so as well as being easy to follow and understand.

This book provides safety knowledge when working with candles, information on different types of spells, reassurance on doing a spell ( with reassurances that it cannot be messed up too much), a guide to herbs, essential oils, types of candles, dressing and decorating candles, things to strengthen spells, astrological information, sun and moon guides, symbols and so much more.

I gave this book a 4.5 star rating only because my ARC had no pictures within it but I'm sure the finished paper copy will have these as these would make it even more beautiful.

I really enjoyed reading this book. A really good as a next step. Some basics and spells, with some recipes and exercises. Overall great book.

This book seems appropriate for all levels of those attempting to practice candle magic. The art of each page is beautiful.

The Table of Contents gives you a clear idea of the content of the book and where to go if you are looking for a specific topic, such as Magic Words, Power in Numbers, and Candle Reading. There are also 5 Appendices: List of Magical Herbs, List of Magical Gems, List of Magical Shells, List of Magical Talismans, and List of Symbols.

The book provides clear information in plain language that is easy to read. There are many examples and clear instructions.

This book was very informative. I learned some things about candle magic that I did not know. It is a very in depth view of the use of candles and magic. I enjoyed this book very much. I definitely will recommend this book to my fellow practitioners.

As a fan and follower of Madame Pamita, I was eager to dive into her newest offering, “The Book of Candle Magic”. This witch (me!) uses candles on her alter, understands some basic reasoning behind colors and has participated in ritual spell work before, but I was eager to dive deeper into candle magic. As an Aries sun and moon, fire plays a big part in my day to day life and I was thirsty to learn more to enhance my solitary practice.
Right out of the gate, Madame Pamita encourages the reader to do some self discovery work by offering questions for the reader to consider, helping you map out a code of personal ethics. This is followed by suggestions for putting together your magical toolkit. Sigils, seals and oil dressings are all discussed (and loads of fun to add) as well as recipes to make some. The author discusses timing as in moon cycles and days of the week for best outcomes. There is even a section on numerology.
If you think your just getting a book about candle magic, you’re mistaken. This book is loaded with so much more info to guide one in their practice. I’d recommend this book wholeheartedly for the broad knowledge it covers. Many thanks to Llewelyn Publications and Netgalley for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are authentically mine.

Practical and direct. That is how I woulld describe this book. Ms Pamita describes first what candle magic is. What it can do, and how to get started in a real way. From your first attempt to more complicated spells its all here, The book reads as though someone is telling you is a coversational tone what their experiences have been doing this which is very important. I believe the author knows what she is talking about as this isnt some repeat of okd books by someone who has no real experience. Her explanation of the reversal candle and the correct way to burn it was something I had never heard before nor was it ever explained in this fashion. Excellent book if you are curious or a practitioner of positive change.

Sorry for possible English mistakes. This is a very practical book. You can start with magic almost instantly because basic ritual is offered. From there you can add ingredients (colours, oils, patterns, types of candles etc...) as you wish. If you love this type of magic then this book will offer you fresh insights into process and how it works. Sadly there is no any pictures in this version. Thanks.

I love Magic. I love reading about it, practicing it and even more discovering more tips, tricks and spells. This book came in so handy! I'm definitely purchasing a physical copy of it as well. Another must-have for my collection!

This book covers a bunch of aspects in regards of candle magic and it's easy to find whatever information you need. It was also really helpful with an appendix.

I want to thank NetGalley, the publisher, and author Madame Pamita for providing me with an ARC of the title The Book of Candle Magic!

What a wonderful, wonderful little gem this is! Candle magic is one of my favorite parts of practicing, so when I saw this title and cover, I wanted in. This explains to you perfectly how to practice in candle magic. Colors, types, shapes, symbolism, inscribing... You name it, it's in here. The appendix in itself is a valuable resource. I can't wait to buy a physical copy of this to keep on my altar!

Thank you again to those named above for providing me with an ARC of this title!

This book covers all aspects of what you would need to create your own rituals revolving around candles. It goes in depth into symbolism associated with color, shape, and type of candles. It also has instructions on how to create your own rituals ans spells.

I've just started getting into candle magic. I found it to be overwhelming. What colors do I use? How do I inscribe it and with what? Is the type of wax important? What are the best use-cases for candle magic. This book could not have been more perfectly time for me. A great book for anyone interested in candle magic.

This book is quite detailed and thorough, providing a good resource for learning the art of candle magic or for those looking for a good tool to research all the elements that go into it. The illuminations on the page edges are gorgeous, so I anticipate the final copy will be not only informative, but a pretty book to flip through. An appendix is included, listing herbs, gemstones, etc and their uses for enhancing your candle spells.
