Candles to connect with your ancestors

 

Candles help to channel and invigorate the energies/vibrations that surround you ...and open you up to the spirit world allowing your ancestors and/or spirit guides to connect with you in ways they have never before. Here is what each colour means:

Red: This helps us ground our energies, and connects us with earth and water energies. Idlozi lamanzi nelabaphansi. When you feel like your survival is threatened, whether by spiritual or physical enemies, make use of 7 red candles to ward off evil intent. Perhaps you feel you do not have enough to sustain your physical needs, light a red candle, and reinvigorate your ability to provide for yourself. If suffereing from lower back pain, knee problems, swollen feet or blood deseases, light 3 red candles to activate your own self-healing abilities.

When used with other candles it helps limit all the bad that may come from the spirit world, be it anger from your ancestors or just misfortune that they intended directing your way. Red also attracts passion, desire and sexual energy to your life. Burn 3 red candles to restore lost items, or to attract back to your life a lost love.
