The history of yellow candles
Candles have been part of human civilisation and culture for centuries. On top of their practical uses, they have strong historical significance. Ancient Romans lit candles during festivals and feasts to celebrate the presence of their Gods. In the Middle Ages, candles began to play a vital role in Christmas ceremonies, a tradition that still continues to this day. Candlelit dinners became popular as a romantic tradition during the Romantic and Victorian eras.
Yellow candles are associated with the mind and intellect, and various spiritual traditions use them in rituals to promote happiness, creativity, mental clarity and the pursuit of enlightenment.
Practical uses for yellow candles
Yellow candles make an immediate impact. But just like every other colour candle, they have different associations depending on the context and multiple uses. The practical and aesthetic benefits of this energetic candle colour include:
Mental focus
Whether you use it as a study aid or a meditation tool, a yellow candle can help you stay alert and keep your mind focused. Yellow makes your mind sharper and allows you to process information quicker, which is why it’s such a commonly used colour for caution signs and safety equipment.
Enhancing creativity
Need some inspiration for a new creative project? Yellow boosts the mind’s creative powers and can super-charge your inspiration.
Lifting your mood
If you want to raise your own spirits and those of the people around you, yellow is one of your most reliable options. Being in its presence can stimulate your serotonin production and promote feelings of confidence and empowerment.
Improving your confidence
The feel-good powers of yellow can give you an extra boost of confidence that prepares you to tackle major life events, big projects and other major challenges.
The best events for yellow candles
Yellow candles are perfect for events that focus on celebrating happiness and good fortune, new beginnings and healings. The best occasions for bringing out a yellow candle (or a handful of them) include:
Birthdays
Birthdays are meant to be light, fun and joyous occasions, and yellow candles help evoke all the familiar feelings that suit that kind of mood.
Summer celebrations and festivities
Yellow candles are associated with sunshine and warmth. This makes them a natural fit for springtime or summer events, especially ones that celebrate new beginnings.
Spiritual rituals
In pagan traditions, yellow candles are often used in rituals that focus on everything from gaining mental insights to overcoming bad habits. In Catholicism, yellow votive candles are frequently lit as an act of prayer.
Memorial occasions
Sometimes yellow candles can be used to honour the memory of the deceased. The most notable example is the Shoah yellow candle lit during Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) to pay tribute to the lives lost in the Holocaust.
