While the list provided includes common candle colors and their associated uses in witchcraft, it’s important to recognize that not every possible color is listed here. The universe is vast and infinitely creative, offering a wide spectrum of energies and correspondences beyond what can be captured in a simple list. Instead of relying solely on predefined correspondences, practitioners are encouraged to cultivate a direct and personal relationship with the universe. By communicating with the universe through meditation, intuition, divination, or other spiritual practices, individuals can receive guidance and insight on which candle colors are most aligned with their intentions and the energies they seek to work with. This approach encourages a deeper connection to one’s intuition and spiritual path, allowing for a more authentic and meaningful practice of witchcraft.
Black Candles: Black is an all-purpose color and when available, it should be used with other colors in every ritual. Different colors attract different energies and stimulate certain vibrations in the chakras. Black candles are all-purpose for any Satanic rituals. Black candles used in workings of destruction are used to incite the slower destruction of enemies, opposed to accidents or sudden attacks associated with the color red. Black is also a good color to use to bring discord and confusion to enemies. Black can be used for protection, binding negative forces, and breaking up obstacles and blocks. Black can also be used to reverse and break up negative thoughtforms. Black absorbs, conceals, creates confusion and chaos, is used for new beginnings, and obtaining knowledge of hidden things. Black is the container of light, and is one of the most powerful of colors. Saturn rules black. Black influences self-control, endurance, and patience.

Figure Candles: In the occult tradition of Satanism, figure candles serve as potent tools for ritualistic workings, imbued with symbolic significance and practical application. These candles, fashioned in the likeness of human figures or symbolic representations, are pivotal instruments in channelling the will of the practitioner and manifesting desired outcomes.
-
Iconic Symbolism: Figure candles are meticulously crafted to represent specific targets or intentions within rituals. Whether fashioned in the form of a human, an animal, or an emblematic shape, each candle embodies the essence of the desired outcome, serving as a focal point for the practitioner’s intent.
-
Personal Empowerment: Through the use of figure candles, Satanists assert their personal agency and mastery over their environment. By infusing these candles with intent and will, practitioners establish a direct connection to the forces they seek to influence, thereby empowering themselves as architects of their own destiny.
-
Visualized Manifestation: The act of lighting a figure candle becomes a ritualistic act of visualization, wherein the practitioner concentrates their focus on the candle’s form and envisions the desired outcome taking shape. As the candle burns, it serves as a beacon for the practitioner’s will, guiding the manifestation of their intentions into the material realm.
-
Psychodramatic Ritual In Satanic Practice: Figure candles are integral components of psychodramatic ritual, wherein symbolic actions and imagery are employed to evoke psychological and emotional responses. Through the manipulation of figure candles, practitioners engage in a form of ritual theatre, catalyzing transformative experiences and internalizing desired changes.
-
Satanic Invocation: Figure candles may also be utilized as conduits for Satanic invocation, allowing practitioners to commune with infernal forces and align themselves with the principles of Satanic philosophy. By inscribing sigils, symbols, or invocations upon the candles, practitioners evoke the potent energies of the adversary, harnessing their infernal power to enact their will upon the world.
-
Pragmatic Sorcery: Within the framework of Satanism, figure candles serve as practical tools of sorcery, enabling practitioners to manipulate metaphysical forces for tangible results. Whether employed in spells for prosperity, protection, or revenge, these candles embody the Satanic principle of indulgence, empowering practitioners to seize control of their lives and shape their destinies according to their own desires.
In sum, figure candles and regular candles are indispensable implements in the arsenal of the Satanist, serving as conduits for will, symbols of empowerment, and instruments of ritualistic transformation. Through their adept manipulation of these candles, practitioners assert their sovereignty over the cosmos and affirm their status as agents of Satanic enlightenment.
