Black Separation Candle 8"

Two figures joined only at the base, cast in black. Black is the banishing color, so this is the heavier version of the separation working, used when the connection being ended is not merely finished but actively harmful.

Because the figures meet only at the base, the candle can be cut in half there. Practitioners who want a clean break cut first and burn the halves apart, often moving them further from one another across successive nights. Others burn it whole and let the wax do the parting. Decide which before you light it rather than partway through, because that choice is the working.

How to Work It

Carve the names, or the situation if it is not a person, into the matching figures. Anoint the wax working away from you, which is the traditional direction for banishing. The strongest version of this work is usually about releasing your own attachment rather than reaching into someone else's life, and it tends to go better when you are honest about which one you are doing. Dispose of the remains off your property.

Try It With

Cut the tie properly with the Selenite Athame, then clear what is left with Protect Your Peace Aura Spray. The Red Separation Candle is the same working with heat rather than banishing behind it. Afterward, see our grief and heart repair collection.

Good to Know

8 inches. May need leveling to stand straight. Sizes, shapes, and coloring vary slightly.

Safety

Figure candles burn unevenly by design and can slump as the form softens. Use a heat safe dish with a lip, keep the flame in sight, and keep it clear of drafts, children, pets, and fabric.
