Description
Female Figure Candle
Hand-Poured Soy Wax, 20cm
The Female Figure Candle represents the living body as vessel, ancestor, lover, mother, priestess, warrior, and self. In many spiritual traditions, particularly within African-diasporic practice, folk Catholic devotion, and European sympathetic magick, the human-shaped candle is used when the work centres on a specific person or embodiment of power.
Rather than symbolising an abstract “divine feminine,” this form works through representation. It may stand in for you, for another person, for an ancestor, or for a spirit whose presence is aligned with feminine form.
Each candle is hand-poured in soy wax and may be worked plainly, dressed, carved, baptised, or fixed depending on your tradition.
Available in White, Red, Pink, and Black. Custom colours may be requested.
Custom-dressed and blessed figure candles are available, as well as plain male figure candles.
Working with Figure Candles
In conjure and related traditions, figure candles are often baptised with a name and date of birth, dressed with condition oils, carved with names or commands, and worked alongside petitions, psalms, herbs, roots, or personal concerns.
They may be burned to draw, bless, reconcile, protect, influence, strengthen, or release. When the body is represented, the body becomes the site of the work.
White Female Figure
Believed associations include spiritual clarity, cleansing, peace, elevation, fertility, and ancestral connection.
Often aligned with elevated spirits or maternal forces such as Yemayá or Obatalá in certain lineages, Marian devotions within folk Catholic practice, and ancestor altars.
Traditionally used for fertility rites, cleansing after conflict, restoring balance, peace work, court matters requiring fairness, and as a universal substitute when a specific colour is unavailable.
White is commonly chosen when clarity, purity of intention, or spiritual reset is required.
Red Female Figure
Believed associations include passion, vitality, courage, sexual magnetism, and life force.
Commonly aligned in various traditions with spirits such as Erzulie Freda, Oshun in passionate aspects, or fiery transformative forces.
Traditionally used for love drawing, strengthening romantic bonds, reigniting intimacy, confidence work, and protective boundary work rooted in strength.
Red is used when intensity, heat, or active movement is required in the situation.
Pink Female Figure
Believed associations include affection, reconciliation, emotional healing, softness, and harmony.
Often aligned with sweetening work and compassionate aspects of love-oriented spirits across traditions.
Traditionally used for reconciliation after arguments, sweetening a partner, nurturing self-love, restoring warmth to relationships, and gentle attraction work without domination.
Pink supports tenderness and emotional repair rather than intensity.
Black Female Figure
Believed associations include protection, banishing, reversal, boundary setting, shadow integration, and rebirth.
In various traditions, black is aligned with transformative forces such as Oya, Kali, Hekate, and ancestral spirits associated with endings and renewal.
Traditionally used for protection work, uncrossing, cord cutting, ending harmful dynamics, shielding against gossip or interference, and reclaiming personal authority.
Black is absorptive and protective, often chosen when clearing or containment is required.
How to Work with This Candle
The Female Figure Candle may represent yourself for healing or empowerment, another person for love or justice work, an archetype such as mother or protector, or a spirit aligned with feminine embodiment.
You may carve the heart for love work, the womb for fertility intentions, the head for clarity and influence, or the feet for movement and relocation. Candles may be dressed with oils, herbs, or powders aligned with your intention. Petitions may be placed beneath the candle or concealed within the base according to your practice.
When used devotionally, offerings such as water, flowers, perfume, fruit, or specific items aligned with the spirit may accompany the work.
These candles are tools of representation and intention, intended for practitioners who approach their work with clarity, structure, and respect.
