Freestanding & Figure Candles

The Power of Figure Candles

Figure candles, also known as image candles, are molded into symbolic shapes—people, animals, or objects—to represent your intention in a tangible way.

The shape and color of the candle are chosen to align with your goal, each offering distinct benefits.

We frequently work with black candles for cursing and baneful magic, a cornerstone of our practice for clients seeking justice or protection through assertive spiritual means. H

Below is a breakdown of our most popular figure candles, their available colors—including black for cursing—and why they can help you manifest your desires.

• Genital Candles (Penis or Vagina)
  These candles represent sexuality, passion, and intimacy, often used for romantic or physical connections, but they’re also powerful tools for cursing work.
  • Black: Used to curse or diminish someone’s sexual power, often in baneful magic to stop infidelity, weaken a rival’s allure, or bring consequences to a betrayer. Benefit: Take control over situations where sexual dynamics cause harm, ensuring the target faces the repercussions of their actions.
  • Red: Draws love, obsession, or passion, enhancing sexual attraction or rekindling desire. Benefit: Reignite a fading connection or attract a lover.
  • White: Focuses on healing sexual or reproductive health issues, such as fertility or trauma recovery. Benefit: Support physical and emotional healing in intimate areas.
  • Why Choose This?: These candles are versatile for both love and cursing—black candles in this form allow you to target intimate betrayals with precision, while other colors support healing or attraction, aligning with your specific needs.
• Marriage Candles (Couple Side by Side)
  Depicting a couple in union, these candles are ideal for marriage or relationship-focused work, but can also be used to disrupt partnerships through cursing.
  • Black: Employed in cursing work to create discord or break apart a marriage, often used when one partner is causing harm or betrayal. Benefit: Disrupt a toxic union that’s causing pain, allowing freedom for those wronged.

• Front-to-Front Candles (Lovers Facing Each Other)
  These candles symbolize connection and unity, typically used to strengthen or reunite lovers, but can also be adapted for cursing dynamics.

• Back-to-Back Candles (Lovers Facing Apart)
  Designed for separation, these candles naturally align with break-up and cursing work, making them a staple in our practice.
  • Black: The primary color for baneful magic, used to drive two people apart with force, often in break-up spells or to remove a toxic influence (e.g., a coworker gaining favor). Benefit: End harmful relationships or dynamics decisively, reclaiming your power and space.

• Skull Candles
  Shaped like a human skull, these candles target thoughts, emotions, and motivations, often used with pins to influence mental states, including for cursing purposes.
  • Black: Used in cursing to implant negative thoughts, fears, or confusion into someone’s mind, often as a form of psychic attack or to weaken an enemy. Benefit: Gain mental dominance over a rival or adversary, disrupting their confidence or plans.

• Ceromancy (Carromancy) is a style of divination, performed by reading the waxy remains of freestanding “figural” candles.
• Another method more commonly practised in the contemporary era is studying the burning of an ordinary candle. The movements and erratic actions of the flame are then said to predict the future.
• It is highly subjective, and one will form their interpretations of the messages remaining in the wax.

For advice to our clients, a freestanding candle means any type of candle that is not a jar candle. The reading of a figure candle is different from that of reading a glass jar candle. Messages from the smoke have the same meaning. However, there are many more considerations when you’re allowing a candle to burn without the constraint of the jar or container.

The Spiritual Body of the Candle

Some people will look at each section of the candle for specific messages

• wax – pure flesh or humanity
• wick – soul, divinity
• flame – godhead

History of Carromancy

Carromancy also has roots in ancient Celtic and perhaps later in Ancient Roman times.  According to scraps of knowledge salvaged from around the period CE 500, it appears that the candle burned during a druid’s vigil was poured into a bowl and then into a clear pool of cold water. The auguries for the future could then be read.

Why read the remains of your candle work?

• You can read the messages from the wax to determine if your “work” is successful.
• Spirit may also leave you various messages to tell you what you can do next in order to achieve your magical desires.
