Purple Goddess Candle: Psychic Power and Spiritual Authority
Purple is one of the most widely recognized colors in esoteric candle magic, associated across multiple traditions with psychic development, spiritual wisdom, the third eye chakra, and workings that involve contact with spiritual forces or the development of intuitive perception. The goddess figure form intensifies this correspondence by anchoring the working in the archetype of the divine feminine as keeper of wisdom and prophetic vision. Goddesses commonly invoked alongside purple candles include Hecate in her role as goddess of the crossroads and hidden knowledge, Morgan le Fay in Celtic-derived traditions, Cerridwen of Welsh mythology, and Sophia of Gnostic and esoteric Christian traditions.
Figure candles create a stronger ritual connection between the practitioner and the spirit or intention than plain candles because the shaped form provides a physical anchor for the petition. Purple goddess candles are used in tarot reading sessions where a candle flame is kept lit for focus, in scrying rituals where the figure serves as a presence point for the spirit being invoked, and in mediumship workings where the divine feminine is called upon to open channels of communication with the dead or with ancestral wisdom traditions.
Dressing and Practical Ritual Notes
Frankincense is the most traditional oil dressing for psychic and spiritual workings across nearly every magical tradition that uses condition oils, and it pairs well with the purple goddess candle’s intended use. Myrrh, lavender, and clary sage are secondary choices suited to workings focused on calming the mind for clearer perception. Carve the name of the deity or a brief petition into the wax before applying oil. Purple candle workings are traditionally timed to Thursday for Jupiter’s expansive spiritual influence, or to the waxing moon when drawing psychic clarity toward yourself.
How to Use the Purple Goddess Figure Candle
Step-by-step guidance for using the purple goddess figure candle in psychic and wisdom workings.
- Prepare and Place the Candle
Set the purple goddess candle in a secure holder on your altar. The purple figure form suits workings with psychic goddesses, wisdom deities, and feminine spirits associated with prophecy, divination, and spiritual authority.
- Carve and Dress
Carve a short petition or deity name into the wax, then dress with a complementary oil from base to crown to draw wisdom and psychic clarity toward you. Purple pairs naturally with frankincense, myrrh, lavender, and divination-focused oils.
- Light and Work
Light the candle during or before a divination session, meditation, or ritual focused on spiritual communication. Monitor throughout the burn and interpret any unusual wax behavior as part of the working’s feedback.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry the purple goddess figure candle because it provides a specific and meaningful altar focus for practitioners who work with psychic development and divination as ongoing practices rather than occasional activities. A plain purple candle serves many of the same purposes, but the goddess form adds the dimension of a specific archetype to anchor the working.

Frequently Asked Questions
Purple goddess figure candles correspond to psychic development, wisdom, spiritual authority, and the third eye. They are used in divination rituals, spirit communication workings, and meditations focused on expanding intuitive perception.
Frankincense, myrrh, clary sage, and lavender are classic pairings. Dedicated divination or psychic oils also work well. Carve the name of your deity or a keyword into the wax before applying oil to strengthen the working’s focus.
Yes. Purple is particularly associated with the crown and third eye chakras. Purple goddess candles are natural supports for tarot readings, scrying sessions, mediumship workings, and rituals aimed at deepening spiritual perception.
Let the candle burn in one session when possible. If you pause, use a snuffer and resume at the same moon phase or planetary hour. Observe the flame and wax pattern as the candle burns, as the behavior often reflects the working’s progress.
