Tradition has it that working with the phases of the Moon in either drawing or rejecting work has been a belief of many cultures for centuries. The idea of lighting candles for goodness to come like Attraction, Money Drawing, Success and Love candles during the New Moon is something that many candle burning adherents look forward to doings. Also, the idea of rejecting or ‘banishing’ negative things like enemies, bad habits, and envy or jealousy, is why many participate in a rituals with candles to release themselves of these negative energies. Many still believe of the power of the energy of the Moon today.
