Black Candles
Using black candles is a personal preference. I do not personally use them or feel drawn to them. This is largely because black is the darkest color and is associated with negativity and the dark arts.
Though of course we must keep in mind that all colors are neutral and have a plethora of meanings, both positive as well as a challenge side. It would be limiting to completely dismiss the color black, as we live in a world of shadow and it has its own purpose and function in the spectrum of life.
