Candles have a variety of uses besides the obvious. Light, different scents of the candles are used for aromatherapy. Lots of them have relaxing qualities; some are for spiritual power, mind cleansing, or balance.

Some cultures use them in religious acts or occult practices. In olden days people often put lit a candle in the window for their loved ones to arrive home safely. Today, the tradition is carried on for soldiers.

If you are into witchcraft, you can use candles in your spells. Certain candles have power or mean certain things just like crystals.
