Baby Blue Chime Candles are used for many things in different traditions, but no matter what- these are perfect for your ritual needs.
They can either be used as a devotional light for a spirit that works well with the colour blue, or for use within candle magic. Baby Blue Chime Candles come from a tradition of dyeing wax, pressing petals into wax, lamp magic and colour magic and conjuration -but in a more accessible form.
These are suitable for annointing and dressing for magical use.
Here’s some ways that Light Blue is used traditionally in British folk magic, spirituality, folklore and conjuration:
- Water- Unlike dark blue, which is often reserved for the deep, vast, powerful and often treacherous ocean, light blue is often framed more as the streams, springs and holy wells.
- Mary as Mother- Deep blue is given more to Mary as Queen of the Heavens, rather than baby blue, which is seen more as Mary as mother.
- Peace- Unlike the turbulent ocean, light blue is often attached to the peace of the still lake and the tenderness of The Mother.
- Healing- Blue was also used for healing mothers, especially nursing mothers. Blue was used for the healing of fevers in traditional folklore. Blue was also particularly powerful in general healing, but works best in combination with other charms.
- Emotional Healing- Light blue in particular is worked with more for emotional healing- connecting in more with the healing springs, the cleansing of water and the gentle nature of Mary.
- Faith- Often the colour used for works of faith
- Gentle Protection- a type of protection that protects against spiritual scrapes and bruises rather than full on malefica.
- Cleansing- following on from the colours connection to holy wells and sacred streams, it’s often a colour worked with for cleansing, as the waters carry away that which doesn’t serve.
- Calming- the opposite colours of the fiery red- yellow spectrum.
- Communication- often worked with for communication. Water is often used for “roads” during folk magic- ways to communicate to different spirits, to draw threads from one landscape to another. The colour blue is often tied to this communication.
