Black Skull Candle
approx. size 6cm x 14cm
Skull candles are found in several colours, most often you will find them in black, white, red or green.
Candle magic is basic in that you only need a few additional ingredients to add to your spell to make it potent. The most important aspect is, of course, the colour of your candle.
A black candle is often useful for negative types of spell work, where you want to cause the breakdown of a situation, to negate or drive away something or someone, effectively to banish, destroy and decay. All of life requires a balance between light and dark. Dark magic provides us with the necessary tools for destroying things that are unnecessary or that have served its purpose and run it's course.
The second important fact is that a skull candle is symbolic of the mind. Your skull candle gives your spell target a 'human' form, more so than with just a plain candle. But more importantly, the skull is, of course, the seat of the mind. It is where we have our thoughts and dreams and our subconscious. So in order to really target someone through magic, a skull candle could be a useful step up from what you may have been trying with just regular candle magic.
