The Spiritual Significance

Black is the candle color of protection and banishing, the shade practitioners reach for to absorb harm, turn back ill will, and clear heavy or hostile energy from a person or space. A black candle is among the most-used tools in protective and reversing work across folk traditions. Candles carrying the Devil name belong to the forceful, commanding corner of that practice, used to drive off what is harmful and, in some traditions, to take firm command of a difficult situation. As with any work that reaches toward another person or a contested outcome, the cleanest approach keeps the focus on protecting and steadying your own situation rather than controlling another's will. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; many anoint and inscribe it before lighting to sharpen the working.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and stand it in a holder on a heat-safe surface.
2. Dress and inscribe it. Anoint the candle with a protection or banishing oil and inscribe your intention if you like, working the oil in as you focus.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick and hold your intention for protection or banishing as it burns.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and use a proper holder, since the candle burns down fully.
