Working With Male and Female Image Candles
Male and female image candles symbolize the whole person in natural form. They come in many different colors including (but not limited to) pink, white, black, green, and red. See this story for the magical meaning of colors. 

Be sure to set a clear intention and follow through the ritual to its end. The rituals below are a basic guide to working with the male/female image candles and you may want to add a personalized touch by placing offerings, flowers, and/ or burning incense or herbs. Being creative is part of the fun! 
​
Here are a few ritual options for wax image candles:

Love attraction ritual: Place two pink figure candles facing each other. The figures should be chosen according to the desired outcome. For example, if you are looking to attract someone of the opposite sex, then choose one figure to represent you and one to represent the opposite sex. If you wish to attract someone of the same sex, then choose two figure candles of the same sex. After taking a cleansing bath set your intention to welcome love in your life and then light the candles. Slowly move the two image candles closer to each other until they touch. Aphrodite Love Draw or Silk Love (used to find a refined lover) are good oils to anoint pink figure candles with for romantic love.  Arabian Nights can be used for friendship or romance. You can also use a single pink figure candle for self love and consider anointing it with Venus oil. *See photo above for example of this ritual.

​Sexual attraction ritual: Place two red figure candles facing each other. Like the Love Attraction ritual, if you are looking to attract someone of the opposite sex, then choose one figure to represent you and one to represent the opposite sex. If you wish to attract someone of the same sex, then choose two figure candles of the same sex. After taking a cleansing bath, set your intention to welcome a sexual partner into your life and then light the candles. Slowly move the two image candles closer to each other until they touch. Great Sex, Bad Ass, or Passion’s Torch oils could be used to anoint red figure candles.

​
​Health, wellbeing and prosperity ritual: Use a green figure candle to represent yourself. After taking a cleansing bath, set your intention to welcome in good health, wellbeing and/or prosperity and then light the candle. Venus, Asclepius Healing, or Prosperity are good oils to use to anoint this candle.

​Purification and uncrossing ritual: Use a white figure candle to represent yourself. After taking a cleansing bath, set your intention to clear away all negativity, gain clarity, remove obstacles and let go of what does not serve you – and then burn the candle. Uncrossing, Kyphi or Van Van are good oils to be used for white figure candles. If the desired outcome is for healing, then Asclepius Healing can be used.
