The Spiritual Significance

Protection is one of the oldest aims of candle magic, and "Against Evil" names the frank, defensive end of it: warding off negativity, turning back ill will, and shielding a person or home from harm. The candle is made with snake root, a botanical with a long history in hoodoo and folk magic for protection and for breaking the work others have laid, often burned or carried to guard against jinxing and the evil eye. The self-contained jar form has roots in the tall devotional candles of Catholic practice, taken up by folk magic because a contained candle can burn safely over a span of days, sustaining a working rather than finishing it in one sitting. Lit with intention, an Against Evil candle is a focus for setting and holding a protective boundary. As with all such work, it concentrates your own warding intention rather than acting on its own, and it pairs naturally with cleansing and shielding practice.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the jar and set it on a stable, heat-safe surface where it can burn undisturbed.
2. Set your intention. Name what you are warding against and what you want protected.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick and picture a clear, steady boundary around the person or space; relight across days as the working asks.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and take care near the end, as the glass gets hot and the flame sits low.

• Pentagram Pewter Pocket Stone: a small protective altar focus to anchor the warding.
• Sage and Frankincense Smudge Stick: cleansing smoke to clear a space before setting protection.
• All Purpose Blessing Oil: a versatile oil to dress the candle before protective work.
• The Big Book of Candle Magic by Jacki Smith: a thorough guide to candle work and intention.
• Assorted Chime Candles, Set of 20: black or white spell candles to follow up focused warding.
