No, only candles of 51%+ beeswax may be used.
From the USCCB:
"Since the National Conference of Catholic Bishops has never employed the above-noted faculty to permit the use of materials other than wax in the production of candles, the use of such other material either in substitutes for or in imitations of candles is not permitted in the liturgy. Therefore, oil lamps may be used only "in the case of the sanctuary lamp," as indicated above. Candles made of wax are to be used in the celebration of the Mass and other liturgical rites."

No, candles are not demonic symbols. Candles are used for many purposes, including religious rites. And this can include any practitioner or any belief.

Black candles are used in satanic rituals. Black representing darkness or Satan, while white candles represent purity or the light of Christ.
