8 Candle Magic DIYs That Double as Mystical Decor
When magic meets mood lighting
There’s something about candles. The way the flame flickers with your breath, the way scent weaves into the room like a whispered spell. I’ve always loved lighting candles, but it wasn’t until I started practicing candle magic that I realized—they’re not just pretty. They’re powerful.
