Narrated by: Sandra Mariah Wright, Leanne Marrama

A guide to improving your life through the simple act of lighting a candle.


Whether you would like to take back control in an uncertain world or turn a dollar-store candle into a means to manifest your desires, Lighting the Wick will help transform your life with candle magic. Learn how to:

• find, repair, or end a relationship;
• guard your boundaries and keep negative energy and toxic people out;
• ground and center;
• achieve common health goals;
• break bad habits, bolster motivation, and increase willpower; and
• meditate with the assistance of candles.


Candles represent faith and hope—a light in the darkness, the warmth of love, the heat of passion, and the fire of spirit. Here, Salem-based intuitives Sandra Mariah Wright and Leanne Marrama show you how to put the power of these simple tools to work for you in your daily life, to improve your relationships, achieve success, provide protection, increase health, honor those who have passed, and more. You don’t have to be a witch to find your inner magic.

Critic reviews

"As Witches, we understand that the light of the Universe itself resides in the candle’s flame, and every candle contains the magic of the five sacred elements and the power to make things happen. In Lighting the Wick, Sandra and Leanne are able to convey the complexities of candle magic and divination in a relatable, accessible way without watering down the information, because they are sharing not just research, but a lifetime of personal experiences and sage advice on the path of Witchcraft. I believe this book will lead those who are drawn to the Craft deeper into their practice as they explore one of the most potent tools of the Witch.”—Laurie Cabot, author of The Power of the Witch, Love Magic, and The Witch in Every Woman

Just magic!

I’ve read their book Regarding the Leaves, amazing! My physical copy of this book arrived yesterday, it’s difficult to put down. So I got the audio version and now I can listen to one of the authors read the book! The audio for it makes it even more magical. I wish I could give this book 11 stars! 💜

The book I needed!

There are not many books that keep me spellbound but Lighting the Wick did! I could barely contain the excitement for what was going to be revealed on the next page. I cannot remember any book I read in the past that had that kind of power. OMG! This is the book I have been looking for over 20 years! I now know why I was drawn to candles and their mystifying power. I made my own personal candles, not knowing why or what drew me towards them, until now. Thank you Sandra and Leanne for writing this book and enlightening my path and life journey. Many blessings to you both!

Very informative and relatable
