Crossed Conditions and the Hoodoo Uncrossing Tradition
In hoodoo, a crossed condition refers to a state of spiritual interference that manifests as persistent bad luck, stalled progress, relational conflict, or a general sense that something external is working against the person. The interference may originate from deliberate hexing or from accumulated negative energy in the person’s environment, and the uncrossing work is designed to dissolve and remove it rather than simply counter it. Candle work is often combined with herbal baths, prayer, and Psalm recitation, particularly Psalm 51 and Psalm 7, over the course of several days.
The 7-day vigil jar candle format suits sustained removal work because a single burning session rarely completes the clearing. Each time the candle is relit, the practitioner returns intention and prayer to the work, building cumulative spiritual momentum over the course of the week. Purple is a color of spiritual power, commanding authority, and mastery over difficult conditions. It carries specific associations with psychic strength and the ability to override interference from external forces, making it appropriate for uncrossing work where the practitioner needs to assert spiritual dominance over whatever has created the blocked or crossed state.
St. Brigit, Brighid, and the Dual Devotional Angle
This candle carries the notation that it can be used to honor St. Brigit or the goddess form Brighid, acknowledging the dual veneration that has characterized this figure across Irish Catholic and Celtic pagan traditions since before the medieval period. In Irish Catholic practice, St. Brigit of Kildare is associated with healing, protection of the household, and the clearing of obstacles, making her intercession appropriate for removal and uncrossing petitions. In Celtic polytheist and reconstructionist practice, Brighid the goddess encompasses smithcraft, poetry, and healing, with her fire aspect particularly invoked in candle-based ritual. You can use this candle as a focal point for petitioning that protective, obstacle-clearing energy.
The seven-day burn period suits week-long workings, a format shared with Catholic and Latin American practice. The glass jar protects an active flame that cannot be left unattended, but the format allows the candle to be covered safely between sessions and returned to repeatedly without interrupting the work’s continuity. Pair this candle with materials from my 7-day jar candle collection to assemble a complete working setup.
How to Use the Uncrossing 7-Day Jar Candle
Three steps covering setup, daily practice, and closing for a sustained seven-day uncrossing vigil candle working.
- Prepare Your Workspace and State Your Petition
Place the candle on a heat-safe surface away from drafts and flammables. Before lighting, hold both hands around the glass and state your intention: what condition you are removing and what blessedness you seek. Write your name if desired.
- Light the Candle and Offer Daily Prayer or Psalm
Light the candle with a match and recite your chosen prayer or Psalm. Psalm 51 and Psalm 7 are both used in uncrossing work. Extinguish safely when stepping away. Each relighting renews your prayer and maintains the working's continuity.
- Dispose of Remains and Close the Working After Seven Days
After the candle burns down, dispose of the empty jar away from your home, at a crossroads or in an outside trash bin. Many practitioners follow with a hyssop or rue bath to seal the clearing before beginning any attraction or road-opening work.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock this candle because the 7-day vigil jar format is the correct tool for sustained removal work, and this particular candle’s purple coloring and dual St. Brigit/Brighid notation makes it one of the more thoughtfully positioned uncrossing candles I carry. A single-session candle cannot do what a seven-day working does, and practitioners who understand that distinction return to this format consistently. The glass jar also travels better and stores more safely than an open pillar or taper when the work spans a full week. Hoodoo is a living tradition, and I offer this candle as an entry point, not a substitute for learning from practitioners and community.

Frequently Asked Questions
An uncrossing candle removes crossed conditions: spiritual interference manifesting as persistent bad luck, stalled progress, or conflict. The seven-day format builds sustained intention across multiple sessions rather than relying on one burning.
Purple carries associations with spiritual power and authority. White is for blessings, black for banishing. Purple is chosen for uncrossing work where practitioners must assert spiritual authority over the interference at hand.
Seven-day jar candles are meant to burn in daily sessions, not all at once. Each time you relight the candle, you return intention and prayer to the working. This approach suits sustained removal work.
St. Brigit of Kildare is linked in Irish Catholic practice to healing and obstacle removal. Brighid holds those same fire and healing attributes. Both are invoked for clearing petitions, and this candle serves practitioners within either tradition.
