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.

Uses in the Work

A male figure candle used to represent a specific man in sympathetic magic: to draw, bind, heal, influence or hex. Green belongs to Venus and the earth: money, fertility, growth and the Venusian current of attraction. Burn it on a Friday. Carve his name and birthdate into the wax, dress the candle with oil chosen for your intent, and lay a taglock beneath it. To dominate, write your name over his on the petition.
