Black: There has always been something about black candles that bring up
thoughts of discord and evil. Most people would shy away from black
candles since they have been given such a negative image, especially at
the hands of Hollywood. This is actually furthest from the true meaning
of a black candle and in fact, black candles are supposed to be the
color you burn when you are trying to destroy negative forces and
energy. They are also believed to be the appropriate color to use for
healing when you are battling a serious illness.
