This book is most likley the best available on setting lights and candle work available on the market today. If you do root, this book can be of great assistance when working with lights and candles. The author presents "The philosophy of fire" Candle colors for every purpose, and working with the psalms. Im on my second copy as the sirst one fel apart ofter so much use. This is a time tested, time honored workbook for the candleworker or rootdoctor.

The information contained in the book is the source material for many of the great Wiccan authors on Candle Magic. The most prominent example is Raymond Buckland in "Practical Candleburning Rituals", then strong glimmers come through in Scott Cunningham (see pages 101-104 of "Earth Power") and then there are strong hints in D.J. Conway's "A Little Book of Candle Magic".

The Master Book of Candle Burning probably would appeal to someone, spiritually, of a past era. However, the book needs to be on the shelf of serious Wiccan and magical students for historical study and to delve into systems and intricacies of the layouts.

This book is the classic and basic guide to candle magic. It should be in the library of everyone who does candle work, as well as those who practice other forms of Hoodoo, witchcraft, or other magical work.
It's only fault is that it is dated, but te author is the expert in this field, so the book ages well, although all of the fancy new candles and their assocaited spells are not present.

This book tells much history of candle burning. It is a very serious and well done book that covers alot of ground. However I must say, that these rituals do not come cheap. Some of the candles themselves can cost $25.00 or more and that's not to mention the oils. And you don't just burn one candle here.. for just one ritual you can need up to five or six special candles and oils. A fantastic book to be sure.. But you better be prepared to do alot of money drawing rituals.. because your going to need alot of green to make this magic work for you.
