Candle magic, known as setting lights in hoodoo, is one of the traditions that has been widely adopted by the larger magical community.  Rootworkers often have a special altar where they burn candles for petitioners.  As wild and adaptable as hoodoo magic is there are some consistencies among its practitioners.     The importance of color in hoodoo candle magic cannot be stressed enough.  Change the color and you change the energy of the spell.  For instance, the color blue is associated with road opening, increased mental processes, and creativity.  Our Motor City Hoo Doo Helping Hand Candle reflects this in its bright blue color, oil blend, and spell work to assemble a call for assistance from beyond to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.     Some colors seem quite obvious at first but quickly reveal their complexity.  Black can be used to clear or cause evil, provide protection, or offer increased...
