Cleansing Candles

Description

Ritual use of candles for spiritual cleansing is one of the most accessible and powerful practices in Latin American esoteric tradition. Each candle colour has a specific purpose: white purifies, black absorbs negativity, purple transmutes dense energies, and blue brings peace.

Materials Needed

  • •1 white candle (purification)
  • •1 black candle (absorbs negativity)
  • •1 white ceramic plate
  • •Olive oil for anointing
  • •Coarse salt for the base plate
  • •Wooden matches (avoid lighters)

Step by Step

  1. 1

    Anoint the white candle with olive oil from base to tip (attracts purification).

  2. 2

    Anoint the black candle from tip to base (repels negativity).

  3. 3

    Place coarse salt on the plate as a protective base.

  4. 4

    Position the black candle on the left and white on the right.

  5. 5

    Light the black candle first and ask it to absorb all negativity.

  6. 6

    Then light the white candle and ask for purification and divine protection.

  7. 7

    Sit in meditation before the candles for 15-20 minutes.

  8. 8

    Let the candles burn completely — never blow them out.

  9. 9

    Observe the flames for signs of successful cleansing.

🌙 Best Time

Saturday night (day of Saturn, transmutation). Waning moon to remove negativity, full moon for maximum purification power.

⚠️ Precautions

Never leave candles burning unattended. Keep away from flammable materials. Do not blow out candles — use a snuffer or let them burn out.
