Figure candles are powerful tools in candle magic and spellwork, crafted in the shape of human forms, animals, deities, or symbolic icons. These sculpted candles act as energetic stand-ins for yourself, others, spirits, or intentions—allowing you to channel energy, direct spells, and embody sacred archetypes with focused flame.
Available in male, female, couple, skull, cat, or deity forms (among others), figure candles bring visual and symbolic clarity to magical workings. Their shape, combined with color and ritual intent, creates a potent tool for transformation.
Representation in Spellwork

Couple candles or paired male/female forms are used in binding, attraction, healing, or release rituals.

Skull or black figure candles may be used to remove hexes, banish negativity, or sever spiritual attachments.
