Origin & Traditional Use

A figure candle is a candle moulded in the shape of a person, animal or symbol, so that the candle itself stands for what the working is about. Figure candles grew from the ancient practice of the wax image, in which what is done to the image is done to the one it represents. Santa Muerte, Holy Death, is a Mexican folk saint, and her figure candles are burned for protection, justice, love and to ask her favour, with each colour serving a different purpose.

Uses in the Work

Santa Muerte, the Most Holy Death, the bony lady who answers when other saints will not. She is petitioned for protection, justice, love and the settling of scores. Offer it with tequila, cigarette smoke, red roses and an apple. Speak plainly, as she favors directness. Thank her publicly when she delivers, and never make a promise to her that you will not keep. Red and black combines Mars and Saturn: reversal, return to sender, and martial force driving harm back to its source. Burn it on a Tuesday or Saturday.
