Buy the Black Scissors Candle in our Esoteric Shop
The Scissors candle is one of the traditionally shaped candles used in Santería and various forms of Afro-Caribbean folk magic. Unlike a regular candle, its shape directly represents the intended action, thereby enhancing the symbolic power of the ritual. Scissors have long embodied the idea of separation, breaking, and liberation. They are used to end an influence, break a burdensome attachment, or symbolically cut what should no longer hold sway.
A Candle Dedicated to Cutting and Banishment Work
In its black version, this candle supports work focused on banishment, cutting toxic ties, distancing a person or situation, and protection. It is traditionally used when the goal is to turn a page, end a harmful relationship, break an addiction, or free oneself from an unwanted influence. Its scissors shape embodies the symbolic act of separation and liberation.
Use Faithful to Traditional Practices
The black Scissors candle can be used alone or enhanced with anointing oils for Cutting, Dispelling, or Banishment to strengthen the ritual work. According to traditional correspondences, it is ideally lit on a Saturday, a day often associated with protection, closure, and breaking attachments. Crafted according to Santería customs, it serves as a preferred tool for symbolic separation and liberation work.
