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. Male and female figure candles represent a specific person, and are named, carved and dressed to work on them for love, healing, domination, protection or cursing, depending on the colour. In candle magic a black candle is burned for protection, banishing, binding and work with the dead.

Uses in the Work

A genital figure for sex magic, lust, fertility, or domination of a person’s desire. Black belongs to Saturn and the night: banishing, binding, protection, adversarial and shadow work, and the darkness from which light emerges. Burn it on a Saturday, in the hour of Saturn. Carve the target’s name, dress the candle with lust or domination oil, and burn it during the hours of Mars or Venus. A sigil charged at the height of desire is the oldest engine of sex magic.

Lore

Sex magic as a formal discipline runs from Paschal Beverly Randolph through Crowley and Austin Osman Spare. Spare taught that a sigil charged at peak ecstasy bypasses the conscious mind.
