Any color which is appropriate to the ritual is acceptable in Wicca. Often, there will also be a black candle on the left section of an altar, as well as a white one on the right. Left and darkness represent the Goddess, white and right represent the God, and the two of them together represent their balance in the merging of sacred energies.
Often, there are other colored candles used to represent the Watchtowers:
Yellow represents East , Sylphs,and Air.
Red represents South, Salamanders, and Fire.
Blue represents West , Undhines,and Water.
Green represents North, Gnomes, and Earth.
By solitary witches, these are commonly placed on the border of the sacred circle to correspond with their respective directions. The candles are generally lit when the corners are called. Candles can be quite expensive, however, so it's not always possible to do this every time. Also,using that many candles is usually not practical in covenwork. It's easy for them to get knocked over when a large number of people stand together in a circle.
