To be jinxed or crossed, in Hoodoo and rootwork, is to be spiritually blocked: a run of bad luck or interference laid in your path by ill will or tangled fortune. Jinx removing is the named antidote, the work of lifting that condition, clearing the block, and reopening the road it has closed. The seven-day jar candle is the form this work most often takes, a vigil flame tended over a week that gives the working duration and steadiness.

The two colors carry the intention: grey for the neutral, clearing ground, purple for the power and mastery called on to break a stubborn condition. As with all such candles, it focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own, and uncrossing pairs naturally with a cleansing bath and, once the block is broken, a road-opening or protective working to fill the cleared space with something good. Hoodoo is a living African American tradition; to go deeper with uncrossing work, learn from its own teachers and practitioners.

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. Name the condition. Be clear about what you are clearing, a run of bad luck, a block that will not lift, interference you can feel, and state it plainly.
3. Light it and tend it. Light the wick and let it burn, continuously in a safe spot or for a set time each day, returning to restate the intention.
4. Follow with drawing work. Once the block is broken, work a road-opening or protective candle so the cleared space fills with something good.
5. 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.

What is a Jinx Removing candle for?

It is burned for uncrossing work: lifting a jinx or crossed condition, clearing a run of bad luck or interference, and reopening the road it has closed. It belongs to Hoodoo and rootwork practice.

What do the two colors mean?

Grey is the neutral, clearing ground and purple the color of power and mastery called on to break a stubborn condition. Some mixing of the colors as the candle burns is normal and not a flaw.

How long does it burn, and how do I use it?

It burns for five to seven days. Set it in a safe place, name the condition you are clearing, light it, and let it burn continuously or for a set time each day while you hold the uncrossing intention.

What should I do after it finishes?

It is common to follow uncrossing with a road-opening or protective working, so the cleared space is filled with something good rather than left open for the same condition to return.

How do I burn it safely?

Keep it on a stable, heat-safe surface away from anything flammable, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Take extra care near the end, when the glass is hot and the flame burns low in the jar.
