I typed this lesson several times, adding information each time. Eventually I found a site that teaches about candle color meanings and found that they covered pretty much all of it. So, here is that with my own information added to it. Unfortunately, the site that I got this from went down so I can not provide the link to that. Fortunately, from what I could find when looking for a site that I could cite instead I found that this is public property, thus using it without citing the source is not plagiarism.
