Description
Taper Candles are commonly used in Hoodoo as tools for: directing intention, prayer, and spiritual influence. When used for spell work, taper candles are usually “worked” before burning. This can include dressing the candle with oils, carving names or symbols into the wax, and praying over it. Taper Candles are then burned either all at once or in stages while focusing on a specific goal such as: protection, love, prosperity, or justice. The way that the candle burns is often interpreted as a sign of how the spell is progressing when looking at characteristics such as taper candles burning: clean, smoky, fast, slow, etc.
Taper Candles that are used in Hoodoo are a bridge between intention and manifestation. The act of lighting the candle symbolizes setting your intention into motion while the burning flame represents the ongoing work being done in the spiritual realm. Whether used alone or alongside other tools like: Roots and Herbs, Conjure Oils, Healing Crystals, other Spell Candles, or written petitions. Taper Candles remain one of the most accessible and powerful instruments for focused spiritual practice.
