I used to do a lot of natural (low) magick in the past and I consider myself pretty good at it.

I must admit that my best magickal results so far have been by the use of low magick, no doubt. Candle magick,
tree magick, earth magick are among those I used most.

Once, I created and consecrated a kabbalistic talisman for my wife, but that didn't give any results.
I made and consecrated the talisman according to the book 'Making Talismans' by Nick Farrell.

Anyway, what I want to ask you is if someone here has combined them? What I'm thinking of is to
perform the opening of the watchtowers, charge acandle with energy by using the middle pillar ritual, perform my well
working candle ritual and end with the closing of the watchtowers.

Will this be a more powerfull ritual with a greater impact than a "regular" candle burning ritual?

I have been considering this quite a lot myself recently. Over the last few months I've been involved with a very practiced Witch who has shown me a lot regarding what you would term 'Low Magick' and how, in their view, magick in general works.

I personally consider 'High Magick' to work with energies that exist beyond the physical realm, whereas 'Low Magick' works with energies that exist within Earth, our plane of existence.

From a philisophical point of view I've come to be of the opinion that one cannot truly reach up and grasp the higher energies expounded with High Magick before getting two feet firmly attached on the ground and learning more about the world we live in.

Are the two reconcilable? Consider the energies that you are using in your example. Assuming that you are calling the watchtowers through Enochian means, including the charging through energy amassed through the Middle Pillar ritual, then I would say you are using High Magick here not Low Magick.

One could argue that things such as making incense or candles are a staple part of Low Magick, such as in Witchcraft, but these are employed too in High Magickal operations.

In reality the lines appear to be very blurred and more a matter of speculation then anything concrete. I too am very interested to hear other opinions and whether others believe they have amalmagated these two paths.
