Buy the Red 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. Its shape directly represents the desired action, enhancing the symbolic power of the ritual. Scissors have long symbolized breaking, separation, and the release of attachments. In its red version, this candle is especially dedicated to emotional bonds, passions, and romantic relationships, areas traditionally associated with this color.

A Candle Dedicated to Emotional Separations

This solid red Scissors candle supports work aimed at ending a toxic relationship, breaking an emotional attachment, or encouraging a separation when desired. It is also used in rituals intended to sever lingering emotional ties after a breakup, allowing each person to regain autonomy and move forward to a new stage in their love life. Its shape symbolizes the act of cutting what still holds people together.

Use Faithful to Traditional Practices

The red Scissors candle can be used alone or enhanced with anointing oils for Cutting, Dissipation, or any other preparation suited to the intended purpose. According to traditional correspondences, it is ideally lit on a Saturday, a day often associated with separation, closure, and liberation work. Dyed throughout, it maintains a uniform color during its entire burn and serves as a preferred tool for rituals dedicated to emotional severing and personal rebuilding.

The right gesture

How do you use a ritual candle?

A candle is a physical support for magical work: its flame accompanies a prayer, invocation, request, seal, talisman or more elaborate operation. Before lighting it, clearly define the aim of the work, then choose its colour and, if desired, the most suitable moment.

It may be used as it is or prepared by carving a name, a few words, a symbol, seal or intention into the wax. It may also receive a small amount of ritual oil or powder suited to the work.

Three key choices Intention · colour · moment A precise gesture matters more than quantity.

Correspondences

Which candle colour should you choose?

Correspondences may vary between schools. These associations provide a clear foundation for Western ritual magic.

  • White

    Purification, peace, protection, clarity, spiritual work. A neutral colour when no specific one is available.

  • Black

    Banishing, distancing, severing, protection, neutralising unwanted influences.

  • Grey

    Neutralisation, calming conflict, erasing an influence, discretion, distance, finding a middle ground.

  • Red

    Passion, desire, courage, strength, vitality, action, willpower.

  • Pink

    Affectionate love, tenderness, reconciliation, closeness, affection, friendship.

  • Green

    Money, prosperity, growth, fertility, material development, business.

  • Blue

    Peace, harmony, calm, healing, protection, loyalty, emotional balance.

  • Dark blue

    Authority, justice, protection, professional success, legal matters, social influence, work under Jupiter.

  • Yellow

    Intelligence, study, communication, trade, eloquence, mental clarity.

  • Orange

    Success, opportunities, energy, attraction, openness, progress.

  • Purple

    Personal power, ambition, mastery, authority, occult faculties, spiritual work.

  • Gold

    Sun, success, radiance, honours, vitality, recognition, achievement.

  • Silver

    Moon, intuition, dreams, receptivity, perception, lunar workings.

Before lighting

Prepare the candle

01

Carve

Carve a name, request, word, symbol or seal into the wax with a needle, point or small tool kept for this purpose.

02

Anoint

If the ritual calls for it, apply a very thin layer of ritual oil to the wax. A few drops are enough.

03

Dust

If the work includes powder, use only a small amount so that it adheres to the oil.

Never overload the candle. Keep clumps of plants, resins, powder or oil well away from the wick: the candle must be able to burn normally, without an excessive flame.

Planetary rhythm

Which day should you choose?

Each day of the week is associated with one of the seven classical planets. Choosing the day aligns the work with the nature of the operation.

SundaySun

Success, authority, recognition, vitality, accomplishment.

MondayMoon

Intuition, dreams, home, receptivity, lunar matters.

TuesdayMars

Courage, strength, defence, conflict, action, separation.

WednesdayMercury

Trade, communication, study, writing, intelligence, negotiation.

ThursdayJupiter

Prosperity, expansion, social success, justice, authority, honours.

FridayVenus

Love, attraction, closeness, pleasure, harmony.

SaturdaySaturn

Limitation, distancing, severing, obstacles, closure, constraint work.

The planetary day begins at sunrise — not at midnight.

Work performed before sunrise therefore still belongs to the previous planetary day.

There is no requirement to wait for a specific day. This system simply helps you choose a moment aligned with your aim when you wish to give the operation more structure.

Going further

Refine the timing with planetary hours

You may begin during the hour of the planet that matches your intention: a Venus working on Friday during an hour of Venus, or prosperity work during an hour of Jupiter.

These hours are not always 60 minutes long. The time between sunrise and sunset is divided into twelve periods, then the night into twelve more. Their length varies with the date and place.

The day and hour do not both have to correspond: the day provides the first framework and the hour simply refines the timing.

Calculate planetary hours

Putting it into practice

Light the candle

Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant holder. Light it at the start of the work while stating your prayer, invocation, request or intention, then continue according to the practice being followed.

Some operations call for the candle to burn completely; others use several successive lightings. There is no universal rule that it must always burn to the end: follow the instructions of the rite first.

A question about this product?

We have the answers.

What is the red Scissors Candle used for?

The red Scissors Candle is intended for love separation, breakup, and severing a bond that has become harmful. Its shape directly embodies the desired action: cutting what connects two people or ending a relationship from which you wish to detach.. Sa forme matérialise directement l’action recherchée : couper ce qui relie deux personnes ou mettre fin à une relation dont on souhaite se détacher.

Why is the candle shaped like scissors?

In several Santería and folk magic practices, figurative candles give a concrete form to the ritual intention. The scissors here represent cutting, separation, and the interruption of a connection.

Why choose a red Scissors Candle?

The color red reinforces the emotional dimension here of the work, including passion and relationships. It is therefore particularly suitable when working on a romantic relationship or an emotional attachment.

Can it be used to end a toxic relationship?

Yes. It can be used in a ritual intended to break a bond from which one wishes to free oneself, whether it is a romantic relationship that has become conflict-ridden or an attachment one wishes to end permanently.

Which oil should I use with this candle?

An Cutting Oil will be particularly suited to an intention of a clean break and separation. A Spell Dissipation Oil may be better suited to work intended to drive away a persistent influence or break free from a bond perceived as oppressive.

How do I apply the oil to the candle?

Apply only a small amount of oil to the candle before lighting it, then gently spread it over the wax from bottom to top. Remove any excess, and never pour oil onto a flame, a lit wick, or a candle that is already hot.

Which day should I choose to light it?

The Saturday, associated with Saturn, is particularly suitable for workings involving separation, limitation, breaking, and closure. However, the candle may be used on another day when the ritual or practice being followed calls for a different correspondence., associé à Saturne, convient particulièrement aux opérations de séparation, de limitation, de rupture et de fermeture. La bougie peut néanmoins être utilisée un autre jour lorsque le rituel ou la pratique suivie prévoit une correspondance différente.

Should the candle be allowed to burn all the way down?

This depends on the ritual being followed. It may be left to burn completely in one session when safety conditions allow, or used over several sessions. In all cases, place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface and never leave a burning candle unattended.

One candle, one intention.

It is consecrated with intentions or incantations, and sometimes decorated with symbols or words engraved in the wax. It is already coated with oil and sometimes with corresponding herbs.
