Human figure candles are among the most powerful and personal tools in spiritual work. Shaped like male, female, or joined couples, these candles represent real individuals or symbolic energies you wish to influence. By choosing the right figure and color, and pairing them with oils and herbs, you can direct your spellwork with clarity and intention.

Female figure candles are often used in spells related to feminine energy—like self-love, fertility, healing, or attracting romance. Male figure candles can focus on masculine energy, personal power, or a specific man in your life. Color adds even more meaning:

Red sparks passion and love
Green draws in prosperity
Black banishes negativity
White supports healing and spirit work

You can carve a person’s name into the wax and dress the candle with oils or herbs to amplify your intention.

Couples candles—featuring a male and female form—symbolize unity and are ideal for love spells or relationship strengthening. Use red for passion or pink for emotional harmony, and pair them with oils like Love Me, Fire of Love, Come to Me, or Adam and Eve.

Back-to-back candles are used in separation work. They help end toxic ties, encourage distance, or break bonds. A black candle can remove harmful energy, while a red one separates intense emotional connections. Carve the names on each side and dress the candle with Separation Oil, Run Devil Run, or even cayenne pepper for extra strength. As it burns, visualize each person moving on peacefully.

Ultimately, human figure candles are so effective because they’re personal. Whether for love, healing, or letting go, they focus your energy like few other tools can. When paired with focused intention, they become a powerful part of your spiritual toolkit.
