The Spiritual Significance

Reversing candles are a familiar tool in folk magic, made to turn back what is working against you and open the way for what you want instead. They pair two colors: a banishing, protective color to send harm or bad luck away, and a drawing color to call good fortune in. This pillar pairs black, the color of protection, banishing, and reversal, with green, the color of money, luck, and growth, which centers the working on prosperity: turning back a run of bad luck, breaking a block around money, and drawing increase in its place. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; many burn it to clear a stubborn streak of misfortune around work or money and to invite a fresh, prosperous start. As with any reversing work, the honest aim is to clear what blocks you and protect yourself, not to send harm to another.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and stand it in a holder or on a heat-safe dish.
2. Set your intention. Name the bad luck or block you are turning back, and the prosperity you are calling in its place.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick and picture the misfortune leaving as the black burns, and increase arriving as the green follows.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and use a holder or dish, since the pillar burns down fully.
