i was reading about spells of reversal recently and came across the idea that when it comes to 2-color candles, black must always burn first, lest the spell caster 'end by cursing themselves'. i can certainly see the logic in this. and while i agree tradition has its place, i believe and know that the most potent magik occurs when the practitioner has developed their own sense of things.
for example, in this image, you have two versions of a candle. one will burn black then lavender, the other, lavender then black. suppose i want to remove the energetic crap from my space prior to meditation or workings dealing with the highest chakra? well, i'd grab the candle with the black top. now if i'm looking for a a bit of alignment with my crown chakra, before getting into some deep delicious workings, i'd go for the lavender-then-black candle.
negativity is simply another side of the coin when you take away the connotations, no light without dark.....for me, black is the deepest earth, the womb, the place from which we all arrive and to which we all return....and with that, the black at the bottom of my candle can represent a greater energetic range.
