If you want a book to explain to you how to use simple candle magic, this is probably the best one you could get. It explains all the basics (cleansing, consecrating, and dressing the candle) and it even goes into the not-so-usual ways of using numerology and magic squares to enhance your candle magic.

He explains the different types of candles, the tools you'll need; the importance of color, fragrance, and timing to get better results. There's a chapter on healing, a chapter on divination with candles, and a chapter with some candle rituals for you to try. There are even instructions on making your own candles, if that's your thing. Finally, the conclusion urges the reader to actually start practicing what was presented in the book. I liked that part the most because I know a lot of people who read books on magic rarely take the time to practice it (I've been guilty of this in the past myself).

All in all, a pretty good introduction to the topic. Although, keep in mind that the book is by a New Age author. If you're a witch looking for a book on candle magic, I'd still recommend it to you, but just keep in mind that the book comes more from a New Age perspective than anything else.

Good intro to candle magic and a definite keeper!
