The Spiritual Significance

Figure candles stand in for the people or the situation a working concerns, giving the flame something to focus on. Shaped as a couple and cast in black, this candle speaks to partnership through the lens of protection and release, the two sides of black's meaning in candle magic. On one side it can be lit to shield a marriage or partnership from outside ill will and interference, warding the bond. On the other, where a tie has become harmful, it can support the work of releasing it: clearing what binds you to a connection that no longer serves, so you can step free with less weight. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; in release work especially, the aim is your own freedom and clarity rather than harm to another. Name plainly which of the two you are doing before you light it.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and set it on a heat-safe dish to catch the wax.
2. Set your intention. Name plainly whether you are shielding a union or releasing a bond that no longer serves, and keep release work to your own freedom and clarity.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick and let the figure candle burn as a focus for the protection or release you are working.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and burn it on a heat-safe dish, since a figure candle pools and spreads as it melts.
