History and folklore
Pink blends red's passion with white's purity, and witches traditionally read it that way: love that is gentle rather than fiery. It is tied to Venus and to the soft, caring side of the heart, from friendship and family affection to learning to like yourself. In folklore, pink flowers such as roses were given to show admiration and tenderness. Many teachers suggest beginning love work with a pink candle aimed at self-love first, since the way you treat yourself shapes every other relationship you have.
