Brown

In crystal healing, candles proved to be highly useful tools that can greatly enhance the effect of rituals and possibly speed up the process of manifestation. However, what many people perhaps overlook is choosing the right candle color for their specific intention.

Each candle color carries not only a significance but also a magick of its own. An orange candle, for instance, promotes creativity, while a purple candle improves your intuition and many more. Brown candles are certainly one of the best types of candles you can use, but what is its purpose?

If you have recently bought brown candles (or are thinking of buying some) to add to your crystal rituals, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll go over the meaning of brown candles, how to use them, and which crystals benefit the most from it. Let’s dive in!

Leaning more towards earthy tones and neutral colors side, brown candles often represent stability, grounding, and strength. Brown is also the color of the solid earth, the foundation of our existence in the material plane.

In color theory, brown also represents warmth and comfort, without being obtrusive and glaring. It’s the color of home and Mother Earth. It invites us to rest and leave our worries behind, reminding us that we are safe and secure.

On the other hand, brown also carries negative connotations. Brown is dull and old. It’s the color of the desert, of emptiness, and isolation. It’s simple, timid, and predictable.

Brown is also unfortunately associated with death and decay, as it’s also the color of dead trees, fallen leaves, and the earth where we are all bound to return one day.

In candle color meanings, it represents the same things.

Brown candles are used by people who seek to reconnect with their roots: the earth, their loved ones, and nature. It’s used to promote grounding, a practice that helps energetically reconnect us with the earth. It also promotes stability and strength.

As such, a brown colored candle also helps link us to nature and animals. It may assist us in manifesting desires in the material realm, such as achieving financial success, abundance, and growth.
