How to work with Figure candles in magick and petitions 🕯 🕯 🕯
The way I like to work with figure candles is engraving the candles with my name and date of birth or the name of person you want the candle to represent. If it's for dark magick, I like to write the name backwords. And then, depending on intent, you rub in your conjure oil going up (to bring in) or going down (to remove). Then, I sprinkle my herbs on the candle and then around the candle base, either clockwise or counterclockwise. I then burn the base to melt the wax to help it stand up straight on a heat proof dish. I put a written petition underneath this candle as well. Some ppl like to make a hole in the candle at the bottom and then stuff the herbs inside the candle.
Heres a list of some figure candles and general properties of what they can be used for.
Pyramid - great for money magick or egyptian themes/Gods
Male or Female - various works to represent an individual person in spell work including your self can also be used as a poppet
Pregnant Woman- for fertility spells and to help concieve can be used to represent the earth goddess 🌎
Cross Candle - great for uncrossing, protection, and cleansing
Cat figure- to heal pets, black cat spells for luck, and egyptian magick
7 knob- typically used to make seven wishes come true, write each wish on a knob
Couple candle- to seperate couples or bring together and used for love spells
Bride and groom- for married couples, divorce spells, and spells involving marriage.
