Can candles really bring good luck, money, and romance? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (5304)   ranked 11 out of 10,568 in questions & answers3 months ago

I was given one of those 7-day candles by my daughter yesterday, and I must admit it had been a very long time since I'd seen one. they are supposed to bring you luck if you leave them burning for 7 days. My mother used to use them years ago before she became so involved with the church. I have probably used a couple over the years myself. What do you think of such things? Can they bring money, luck, and romance into your life? I have not lit mine yet but I really could use a bit of good luck right now.

Hmmmmm i have never heard of this before! And i have to ask! What exactly does the candles do in order to bring this luck to the person that has it? And you have to leave the candle burning for 7 days before the luck comes to you. WOW!!! This is my first time hearing something like this.

They usually come in a tall glass cylinder shape, punkin, and the simple act of burning them is supposed to impart good luck. I lit mine today, but I don't think I will leave it burning for 7 days due to worries about fire. I will probably extinguish it at night and re-light it in the morning. Candle burning has been used for a very long time in various ceremonies.

I guess it want hurt anything. I like the smell of some of the candles myself. They relax me sometimes also.I am not sure if the candles really bring luck or bring money.

I also like candles a lot, Shaun, and keep several of the scented ones in my home all the time.

Hi worldwise. It's not really the candle itself that can bring good luck, money or romance but the "power of intent" that is the thought behind the desire...we who follow the pagan/wiccan path all the time use candles as our power of intent or focus on our prayers (or naturally as we call them, "spells") I always have a yellow candle burning to represent success, green for prosperity...sometimes blue (or white) for healing...Other color candles used for different purposes are..pink is usually good for romance..red for strength or intense love..blue is also good for protection.
Black candles are usually used for super duper protection prayers (spells) or banishing negativity in one's life.
Lots of times what I do before I begin using a candle is to write out my prayer twice...once for attaching it on the candle itself, and another so after I say the prayer out loud I burn the paper so my desire is released into the cosmos...Also one has to know when to do these prayers...from New Moon to Full Moon and good in your life you use that particular color candle (like green for prosperity)...from Full Moon to New Moon you do the prayers to ward off any negativity in your life.
There are tons of books about use of candles out there in case you're interested...a good place to check is the Azure Green website as they have tons of books one can buy there.

Thank you for some of the details about candle burning, pyewacket! My curious nature led me to do some research on the subject several years ago and I learned things like you should always burn a white candle in conjunction with whatever other color candle you are using. Candles bring me a lot of comfort. Thanks for the link!

This is one question without a true answer. You could lite your candle and let it burn for seven days and have good fortune and luck for many days to follow. Then again you could lite it and just watch it burn down and not have anything happen.
It all breaks down to what you believe. If you look around you will find many items that are supposed to bring you good luck from candles, can sprays, amulets, crystals, spells,etc. The way I look at it you just have to be at the right place at the right time. There are many superstions that people believe in. Are they true or false again it breaks down to the persons own belief. A good example here in the USA if a cat walks in front of your path it is supposed to represent bad luck. Yet in England it means just the opposite. No matter what you believe I wish you all the good luck in the world.


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (5304)   ranked 11 out of 10,568 in questions & answers  3 months ago

I sincerely believe that what you say is true, satisfier, and to add a boost to my quest for luck I am also burning "good luck" incense.


myLot reputation of 73/100. drknlvly6781 (2509)   ranked 1,498 out of 10,568 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Actually its supposed to be a black cat that crosses your path that causes bad luck. I have never believed it, and have had a black cat or two as a pet in my life. This superstition is actually a throwback from slavery, when it used to be a black person crossed your path, it caused bad luck. The bad part about it is, people actually believed it, and it was the believing in it that made it true.

Yes, they work. If you believe they do. The power isn't in the candle, but in your faith. If you believe that burning that candle for 7 days will bring about the good fortune you desire, while burning them your subconscious goes to work on bringing about the conditions you desire. So if you believe wholeheartedly that the candles will work for you, they will.


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (5304)   ranked 11 out of 10,568 in questions & answers  3 months ago

I truly hope you are right, drknlvly! I feel that I was bilked out of some money awhile back and have been unsuccessful in regaining it, so maybe this will help me.

Anything can be considered lucky if enough emphasis is put onto it, lucky horseshoes, rabbits foot (although not lucky for the rabbit!) it's all superstition and even I used to think that if I went on a date with red boxers I'd be more luckier, seemed to work but that's a different story. If you believe in something my friend then that will be as much luck as having candles! Whilst I am not disregarding people's attitude towards candles or other such items it's what we believe and if someone believes strongly in some 'thing' bringing them luck then it probably will. You have absolutely NOTHING to lose by trying out the candle my friend. But I'd rather send you some karma and hope that you do get some good luck, you sure deserve it;0)


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (5304)   ranked 11 out of 10,568 in questions & answers  3 months ago

As always, wolfie, you are so eloquent -and kind. I don't consider myself overly superstitious, but, I can use all of the good karma you are willing to send!

Im a witch so I do believe in those things! If you believe in them and that they can change your life they will work. Whether its you changing something in your life to accomplish the goal is one thing to argue... but things like these are always just for fun if you don't believe... I mean your not losing anything... and if they dont work at least your house will smell pretty right?!?


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (5304)   ranked 11 out of 10,568 in questions & answers  3 months ago

I agree, wickikitty. It's a win-win situation as I see it!

I think maybe I do believe in them.
But the biggest thing that I believe in is the power of positive thinking. I believe that a big part of a candle such as the 7 day candle is that you believe that it may just bring you what you need out of life whether it be some extra $$$ in your funny money jar or a bit of luck with life, job or family.

My sweet worldwise I say light that candle up. I will send a few extra good luck wishes your way from me

I believe that luck only happens when you work hard for it. It is not just like magic that will just come your way even if your not doing anything. A candle might inspire you to persevere but the effectiveness of it as the reason why you will received so many blessings is unlikely to happen. I believe that inorder for a person to succeed in life he/she must give his/her 100% dedication over it. I believe in prayers are answered when you also are doing your part to make it happen. Sometimes there are things we asked to God that are not answered for one reason only and that is because God has something better instore for you. But for a person to wish of something and hope that a candle will give luck will never work. Chinese believe on feng shui but even experts says that charms are just symbols that inspires people to work hard and look at the positive side of life. It makes a person work hard to achieved its dream, but it is never the reason alone why they succeed in life. Perseverance and dedication is the key to make things happen.
