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 female figure candle used to represent a specific woman, or the divine feminine, in sympathetic magic: to draw, bind, heal, influence or hex. Pink belongs to Venus: love, tenderness, friendship and self-love. Burn it on a Friday in the hour of Venus. Carve her name and birthdate into the wax and anoint the figure with the oil suited to the working. For a stronger link, place a photo or personal concern (hair, a signature) beneath the candle.

Lore

Personal concerns are the ‘taglock’ of witchcraft: hair, nails, handwriting or a worn cloth. They create the link that carries the spell to its target.
