The Spiritual Significance

Figure candles give a working a form to focus on, and a marriage candle, molded as a bride and groom, is the one for a union between two people. In folk practice it represents a couple, used to bless a marriage or partnership, to deepen commitment, or to warm and steady the love two people share. In red, the color of fire and the heart, the candle leans toward passion, devotion, and the vitality of a bond. The kindest and most honest love work focuses on the mutual warmth between two people who both want the union, rather than trying to bend a particular person's will; the candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own. Light it to honor a marriage, renew a commitment, or invite warmth and devotion into a partnership.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and stand it on a heat-safe tray, leveling the base if it needs it, since a figure candle pools as it burns.
2. Set your intention. Name the union, commitment, or warmth you are working, holding the couple in mind.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick and let the candle burn while you picture the bond you are blessing.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and use a tray, since a figure candle can pool and run.
