Hi guys,so I'm into candles and candle energies, I can literally surround myself with candles, I love all colour candles, I find peace, tranquility, sense of oneness so to speak, when im around lit candles, candles literally transports my mind body and soul to such a mystical realm, so I want to know from you lovely souls, if there is any spell to like just enhance this magical feeling and to possibly take it a step further because i truely want to further my gift with candle energies.
It sounds to me you are interested in the fire element. You might wish to research burning rituals.
As for candles, they are a powerful tool which can be utilized for a plethora of things. For example, candles can have different shapes, and the shape can be incorporated into the spell. There are candles with two figures embracing which can be used in love spells. Colour also plays a role. White as well as black are typically used as a general colour, but if you wish to cast a money spell, using the colour green can add to the spell.
There is also dressing candles with oil, herbs and crystals. You can use a simple carrier like olive oil, or blessed oils such as dragons blood oil. Next, if you wish to use herbs, you can roll the anointed candle in the herb blend, or sprinkle it around the candle. If you use tea lights, you could sprinkle herbs and crystal chips on it, even melt the wax a little beforehand.
Another option you could do is make your own candles. It is fairly easy, and inexpensive, to purchase a candle making kit. You can enchant the wax and mix the colour, herbs and crystals into the wax and pour it into any mold you desire. As you stir the wax, you can further enchant it with Magik.
You can also look into carromancy and lampadomancy. Carromancy is wax divination, and lampadomancy is using a flame to foretell events. Both can be utilized in spells to see how it is going. I will link a resource below to help you reading candle flames. As for wax, it is similar to any divination of symbols. Some symbols are commonplace, like a heart for love, but a lot is open to your interpretation. As always, Google is your friend.
Lastly, keep a Book of Shadows. Also called a Grimoire, a Book of Shadows is a Witches journal/cookbook for their craft. You should take note before and after a spell/ritual of how you feel and how it went. That way, you can reflect on your journey and make adjustments as needed.
I concur with Tadashi's very thorough information. As a tool, Candles can be just as versatile an implement in magic as crystals. They are both literally and symbolically sources of light which can translate to protection, inspiration, insight, guidance, and some forms of scrying. As sources of fire they can be generators and transformers- particularly in transforming the physical into the spiritual/matter into energy. For example burning a written note or wish to release it to the 'universe' or aether.

I've been reading up on articles from Valeri Paxton Steele, a 3rd degree Wiccan High Priestess, and she emphasizes on Intent, its all about Intent that makes Magick work, you can have all the tools available, however if the intent is not pure and heartfelt, there is no Magick,
Faith and Intent
Pure and True
Makes Magick work
For Me and You
