8" White Male candle

This is a figure candle, molded in the shape of a standing man and cast in white wax. In candle magic, image candles like this one stand in for a particular person in a working, so the flame's intention is directed at the man the candle represents, whether that is someone you are working on behalf of or yourself.

White is the all-purpose color of purification, blessing, and peace, which makes a white male figure candle a flexible choice: a candle to bless, cleanse, protect, or set good intentions toward a specific man. At eight inches, it gives a substantial burn for that focused work.

The Spiritual Significance

Figure candles, also called image candles, are a long-standing part of candle magic and conjure: a candle shaped like a person is used to represent a specific human being in a working, so that whatever you do with the candle is directed at that person by sympathy. A male figure candle stands in for a man, named and fixed in mind as you work. The white wax sets the tone of the working, since white is the all-purpose color tied to purification, blessing, peace, and protection, so a white male candle leans toward clean, benevolent intentions: blessing a man, cleansing him of negativity, shielding him, or setting good fortune his way. The figure can represent someone you are working on behalf of, or yourself. As with all such work, the candle focuses your own directed intention rather than acting on its own.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and seat it firmly on a heat-safe dish or holder.
2. Name the figure. Fix in mind the man the candle represents, naming him aloud, and dress the candle with a little oil suited to your intention if you like.
3. Light it and direct the work. Light the wick and hold your intention for that person, whether blessing, cleansing, protection, or good fortune.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and let it finish in a safe spot or snuff it to continue.
