Purple Woman Figure Candle in Ritual Candle Work
The feminine figure candle in purple wax occupies a specific and well-defined place in the candle magic toolkit. While the red woman figure is the classic love-drawing tool and the green woman figure targets prosperity and abundance, the purple woman figure directs the working toward psychic power, spiritual mastery, and commanding feminine energy. This distinction matters to practitioners who understand candle color as a vocabulary, where the wrong color in a working pulls the intention off-target regardless of the figure’s form.
Commanding and domination workings that target a woman, or that are performed by a woman seeking to assert her spiritual authority, commonly use the purple woman figure. Candle figures of a person are used in many folk traditions, including hoodoo. The candle is carved with a name or petition, dressed with commanding or domination oil, and burned on a prepared plate. The purple woman figure may also represent the practitioner as an archetype of the High Priestess or the mystic, invoked during workings that seek to deepen psychic receptivity or strengthen the voice of intuition.
Differentiating the Purple Woman from the Purple Man in Candle Magic
Both the masculine and feminine purple figure candles operate in the same color domain, but the figure form changes the direction of the working. The woman figure is used when the subject of the working is female, when the practitioner identifies with feminine energy in the ritual context, or when the archetype being invoked is feminine in character. You can dress either candle with the same oils and herbs, but the figure specifies which pole of the energy field the working is anchored to.

Dress the 6.75-inch purple woman candle with psychic power, commanding, or crown glory condition oils before lighting. Place her on a fireproof plate with a petition paper underneath and any personal concerns, such as a hair or a written name, pressed into the wax before burning. The candle burns for approximately four to six hours in a single session. Extinguish with a snuffer between sessions and keep the working space undisturbed until the candle is consumed.
How to Use the Purple Woman Figure Candle
A practical guide to preparing and burning the purple woman figure candle for psychic power and commanding workings.
- Carve and personalize the figure
Use a pin to carve the subject’s name into the wax from head to foot. If working for yourself, carve a power word such as AUTHORITY. Write a petition paper and place it face-up on a fireproof plate beneath the candle.
- Apply condition oil and herbs
Dress with psychic power, commanding, or crown glory oil from head to base for drawing, or base to head for sending. Press relevant herbs such as lavender for psychic work or calamus for domination lightly into the wax surface after oiling.
- Burn and interpret the flame
Light the candle and observe flame steadiness and wax behavior throughout the burn. A clean, upright flame without excessive flickering is a favorable reading. Use a snuffer to extinguish between sessions and dispose of remnant wax properly.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock both the masculine and feminine purple figure candles because serious practitioners need both, and the figure form is not interchangeable in candle magic. Getting the right figure for the working is a foundational choice, not a stylistic one. Hoodoo is a living tradition, and a candle like this is an entry point, not a substitute for learning from its practitioners. Find complementary ritual oils and herbs to dress this candle in my ritual oils collection, where I keep the condition formulas that pair directly with this type of work.
