I love candles and I love magick. Put both together and make your wishes come true. Use either your color correspondences or go with your gut feeling regarding the color candle that you use. Carve your wish into the wax of the candle and as the candle burns down, your wish is carried off the be fullfilled. I know, it sounds to simple, but it works. You can also use herbs, essential oils, etc. to enhance your magick, but it isn't necessary. The type of candle isn't important either. I have used tealight candles (in the metal cups), votive candles (can take a long time to burn down), but my favorite are chime candles which are larger than birthday candles, but only take 3 hours to burn completely down which is what you really want. If your candle isn't big enough to write your wish onto it, write it on paper and set your candle on top of the paper. When you light your candle, focus on the outcome of your wish or your intention which is absorbed into the candle when you focus on it and light it, then as it burns down, it carries your magick to be completed.
Sometimes I have several candles burning at once for really big magick with multiple intentions. It is all in what you are comfortable with. Try it, you might just be pleasantly surprised.
