What You Receive
An 8″ male figure candle in black, red, pink or white, made of paraffin wax. Moulded candles vary slightly in size and may need levelling at the base to stand straight.
Origin & Lore
Male figure candles are a modern candle-shop form of image magick, where a likeness stands for the person it is named for. The 8″ size gives room for long carved petitions and multi-night burns. Black is worked for removing, uncrossing and cursing; red for passion; pink for affection; white for blessing and clean starts.
Ovid once complained that a witch must have written his name in red wax and driven needles through it; the figure candle carries on that very old suspicion.
In Amores 3.7, Ovid wonders whether his sudden impotence came from a witch who fixed his name in red wax and drove fine needles into the image’s liver.
Did You Know?
Hoodoo practitioners traditionally burn a figure candle “head first” or “feet first” for different results; some rootworkers snap off the top and burn a candle from the base to reverse a condition.
