Alternative to candles?

Instead of using a candle, could I use magic oil to anoint myself, use a spell bottle, soaking in magic bath crystals, etc?

It depends on what you're using the candle for. If you're using it as an aid for purification, then yes, in most cases you can purify it in other ways (such as anointing it with oil). If you're using it as part of a ritual (either as a light source or a center of focus), you should try and think about what role tech candle plays and find an alternative that fulfills that role.

If you are talking about using a candle as part of a spell and you cannot burn candles or don't have candles for some reason then I would suggest looking into Cord or Knot Magic instead.

You can find more information about Cord Magic at http://www.spellsofmagic.com/read_post.html?post=244589

It depends how good at visualization you are: because my appartment won't allow me to use candles I substitute them for a photo of a candle, an app candle, or even some fire salts to represent the fire element.

Get creative, even something as simple as the colour red can represent a candle if you can imagine it.

However if you are needing a candle in order to use the smoke, to burn something or other, then maybe a different form of magick can be used short term.
