Black Separation Candle

Description

Black Separation Candle is a classic Hoodoo figural candle used to: break emotional, romantic, or sexual bonds between two people. The Black Separation Candle depicts a couple pulling away from one another, symbolizing discord, detachment, coldness, and separation. Cast in black, it carries the spiritual functions of: ending, banishing, uncrossing, and removing unwanted connections. In Hoodoo, the Black Separation Candle is deployed when a relationship is seen as: harmful, interfering, deceptive, stagnant, or standing in the way of peace, protection, or rightful love. The goal is not always chaos for it is used to dissolve ties that should no longer exist. The Black Separation Candle is especially effective when there is clear intention and justification are present. I suggest performing this spell between midnight and 3 am with a clear understanding as to why you want this couple separated.

In summary, The Black Separation Candle is used for: breaking up toxic or abusive relationships, separating a lover from a rival, ending adultery or third-party interference, creating emotional distance and loss of attraction, cooling passion and stopping communication, and freeing yourself or someone else from a harmful bond.

How to Prepare the Black Separation Candle

1. Naming the Figures

• Carve Person A’s Full Name & Date of Birth on male figure

• Carve Person B’s Full Name & Date of Birth on the female figure

• If birth dates are unknown then omit them or use zodiac signs if available.

Carve downward the names downward from the arms towards the feet to push energy out and apart.

2. Dressing the Black Separation Candle

Dress the candle with oils associated with separation and break-up work, such as:

• Break Up Oil

• Destruction Oil
• Confusion Oil

• Separation Oil

• Banishing Oil

• Crossing Oil

Rub oil from the head down toward the feet, pushing the condition away.
As you dress it, speak aloud what you want to happen:

“All love, desire, peace, and unity between you are finished and dissolved.”

Optional herbs and curios (use sparingly):

• Black Mustard Seeds (Confusion)

• Black pepper (Discord)

• Lemon peel (Souring the relationship)

• Vinegar (Bitterness)

• Alum (Silencing Communication)

3. Petition Paper

Write a clear petition stating the separation:

“Let all love, peace, attraction, and communication between [Name] and [Name] end completely and permanently.”

Fold the paper away from you, turning counterclockwise, and place it under the candle.

How to Burn the Black Separation Candle for Best Results

Timing

• Best worked on a Tuesday (Day of War) or Saturday (Ending/Banishing)

• During a waning moon to reduce and dissolve bonds

Burning Method

• Place the candle on a heat-safe dish

• Light it with firm intention

• Pray Psalm 35, Psalm 37, or Psalm 109 (traditional for justice and separation work)

• Focus on emotional coldness, distance, and finality

You may burn the candle:

• All at once for decisive work

• Or over 3 consecutive nights for steady separation

Always snuff the flame—do not blow it out.

Signs to Watch During the Burn

• Cracking, popping, or splitting: active resistance or strong emotions breaking

• Wax pulling figures farther apart: successful separation

• One figure collapsing first: one person detaching faster than the other

• Heavy soot: emotional baggage or interference (may need follow-up work)

After the Black Separation Candle Is Finished

• Dispose of remains at a crossroads, in a graveyard, or running water

• Cleanse yourself afterward with a spiritual bath (Salt Hyssop Bay Leaves, Rue)

• Follow up with protection work to prevent backlash

• If desired, begin love drawing or healing work only after the separation is complete
