The Spiritual Significance

Figure candles are a familiar tool in folk and conjure candle magic: a candle shaped like a person, used to stand in for someone, for the self, or for the qualities being worked with. A female figure candle represents a woman, the self, or feminine energy in a working, and is dressed, named, and lit with that focus in mind. In white, the all-purpose blessing color, it suits the gentler side of figure work: blessing and protecting a woman, purifying and clearing, or centering a working on the self with a clean, peaceful intention. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; in figure work many people name the candle for the person it represents, picture them clearly, and keep the work to blessing and protection rather than anything that would override another's free will.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and stand it on a heat-safe tray or dish, since a figure candle pools and runs as it burns.
2. Name and dress it. Name the candle for the woman or the energy it represents, and dress it with a little oil while you focus your intention if you like.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick, picture the person or quality clearly, and let the candle burn for your working.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and use a heat-safe tray, since the figure runs as it melts.
