Description

Origin & Traditional Use

This is a botanica-style tin candle, poured into a metal tin and dressed for a single intention. Candles like this are sold in Latin American botanicas for every saint, spirit and need, and burned on home altars as a prayer and a petition. These candles are burned against the evil eye, the envious gaze believed across the Mediterranean, the Middle East and Latin America to bring illness and bad luck.

Uses in the Work

A wall against evil: envy, psychic attack, the evil eye and malefic spirits are turned away the moment the flame is lit. Burn it by the front door or on the threshold altar. Pair it with a blue glass eye charm or a dish of salt and red pepper. Renew it whenever you feel watched or drained.
