Image candles are candles that symbolize a person or condition in spiritual workings. Figure candles work similarly to voodoo dolls or poppets by utilizing sympathetic magic to aid in spell casting.
When using image candles, you can do anything you would to a regular candle. These candles can be dressed with oil and marked and named for a specific person and goal.
They connect more strongly with the specific shapes of the candle which ultimately brings the most success in their spellwork. These are excellent for focusing your purpose and can be made very personal by adding unique carvings and inscriptions.
Male and Female Image CandlesThese candles have been molded to represent a naked man and a naked woman. They come in many different colors including red, green, yellow, pink, white, red and black. The candle color is typically chosen to align with your desired outcome.
The name of the person the candle is supposed to represent is etched into the chest of the candle. The candle can be burned by itself or with other candles. Place two image candles facing each other on your altar. Put a red candle in between the two image candles. Light all three candles and slowly move the two image candles closer to each other until they eventually touch.
