Black candles are used in witchcraft to remove hexes or curses, dispel evil spirits, or break negative influences. They are also used for protection, banishing negative energy, breaking bad habits, enhancing shadow work, and divination practices. In some traditions, black candles may also be used for hexes or curses, although this is less common and often controversial. When using black candle magic to break a curse, it is important to create a sacred space and protect yourself with a divine white light meditation. Additionally, you can anoint the candle with purification herbs or oils and carve the name of the enemy or the word curse into the candle. You can also use a black candle alongside a white candle to break a curse.

What You'll Learn
Carve My Enemy or Curse into the candle
Carving your enemy's name into a candle is a way to curse them. This is known as a DUME (Death Unto My Enemies) candle spell. It is recommended that you only cast this spell if your case is justified, and not out of an evil spirit or mean heart. To perform this spell, you should work during the waning of the moon, and carve your enemy's full name on a black figural candle, with the word "DEATH" between their first and last names. You can also stick pins into the candle, cursing the enemy's genitals, knees, legs, and feet. For the next seven days, burn a section of the candle, pinching it out between times and never blowing it out.
Alternatively, you can use a black candle to break a curse that has been cast upon you. To do this, carve "My Enemy" or "Curse" into the candle. Anoint the candle with calming purification herbs or oils, such as white sage and lavender essential oils mixed with extra virgin olive oil. Snap the candle cleanly in two, making sure the break occurs within the carved words. Use a white candle to melt the black one, allowing the melted wax to drip into a bowl of pure water. Bury the wax and water in a private, secluded spot.
Another way to break a curse is to place yourself in a protective circle, and anoint a black candle with purification herbs or oils. Carve the name of the enemy into the candle, or if it is not known, simply carve "My Enemy" or "Purify" into the candle. Place the candle upright in a wooden bowl of pure water, and burn the candle while concentrating on removing the spell. When the flame reaches the water, it will go out. Bury the candle and water to return the power of the hex to nature.
You can also use a black candle to reverse a spell, absorbing the negative energy and neutralizing it. To do this, anoint the candle with your chosen protection herbs and oils, and place it in its holder. Light the candle, clear your mind of negative thoughts, and repeat a chant such as:
> "Cleanse me from all negative energies, Prevent others from afflicting me, Purify the energies surrounding me. Deflect all curses, hexes and spells away from me, Return them to the Earth, Protect me evermore from those who wish me harm."
Blow out the candle, break it into two pieces, and bury them side by side with a rock on top.

Anoint the candle with herbs or oils
Anointing a candle with herbs and oils is a powerful way to manifest your intentions and desires. The practice, rooted in African spirituality, is believed to amplify your intentions, focus your energy, and personalise your ritual work.
Choosing the Right Herbs and Oils
When choosing your herbs and oils, you can select those that correspond with your intentions. For example, rose for love, eucalyptus for healing and protection, and mugwort for psychic connections. You can also opt for essential oils, such as rosemary or lavender, or carrier oils like coconut oil, jojoba oil, or olive oil. Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils and are applied directly to the skin. It is important to perform a patch test before using carrier oils to ensure they do not cause any allergic reactions.
Anointing Techniques
Once you have chosen your herbs and oils, you can begin the anointing process. If you are manifesting something, start at the bottom of the candle and move towards the centre. If you are trying to banish something, start at the middle and move outwards. You can rub the oil with your hands and apply it to the candle, visualising your goal clearly and speaking your desire out loud.
After anointing with oil, you can sprinkle or roll the candle onto the herbs. Less is more when it comes to herbs, as you want to enhance the candle without smothering it. You can also use a coloured candle of the same shade to drip wax over the herbs to help them stay in place.
Setting Your Intention
Before lighting the candle, you can further set your intention by carving symbols or writing your intentions directly onto the candle with a ritual blade, pin, or nail. Alternatively, you can write your intentions on a piece of paper and keep it near the candle as it burns.
Creating a Ritual
To enhance your ritual, you can cleanse your space with sacred herbs like palo santo, sage, or sweet grass, take a salt bath, and play relaxing music. You can also dress your candle with glitter to amplify your spell's energy and draw attention to it.

Place the candle in a bowl of water
To break a curse using a black candle and a bowl of water, you must first fill a bowl with water and place a taper candle in the centre. The candle should stick out about an inch from the water. It is recommended to use a black candle, as these are used to reverse spells, absorbing and neutralising the negative energy.
Next, sprinkle some salt into the water around the candle. Salt breaks up negative energy and can create a protective circle to keep negative forces at bay. You can add as much salt as you like to increase the purification of your spell.
Then, light the candle and close your eyes. Visualise the water being illuminated with light, or a beam of white light flowing into the bowl, imbuing the water with positive energy. Take several slow, deep breaths as you do this.
After the candle has burned down and extinguished itself in the water, remove it from the bowl and break it in half. Bury the candle outside, then pour the water in a circle around the buried candle to seal the spell.

Burn the candle and concentrate on removing the spell
To break a curse using a black candle, you must first prepare your space. Choose a quiet, peaceful place and clear the area of any negative energies by burning a bundle of sage or palo santo, then wafting the smoke around. You can also use essential oils to create a peaceful atmosphere. Decide on your intention for the ritual and sum it up in one sentence. For example, "I break this curse and protect myself from future attacks".
Next, prepare your candle. Black candles are used for protection and to break hexes and curses. You can anoint the candle with calming purification herbs or oils such as lavender, juniper, or cedar. Carve the name of the person who cast the curse into the candle, or simply "My Enemy" or "Curse". Place the candle upright in a wooden bowl of pure water, ideally from a natural source.
Now you are ready to begin. Light the candle using a match or lighter. As the candle burns, concentrate on removing the spell. Visualise your intention, sending your energy and focus into the flame. You can also recite a spell or prayer, such as:
> "Earth, Fire, Water, and Air, be the answer to my prayer, banish this curse and leave me pure, tonight I claim a blessed cure."
> "Cleanse me from all negative energies, prevent others from afflicting me, purify the energies surrounding me. Deflect all curses, hexes and spells away from me, return them to the Earth, protect me evermore from those who wish me harm."
Let the candle continue to burn and do not blow it out, as this can disrupt the spell. Instead, let it burn down to the water and go out on its own. Once the candle has burned out, bury it to complete the spell and return the power of the hex to nature.

- Place the candle upright in a wooden bowl of pure water. Water drawn from a natural source is best, but distilled or bottled water can also be used.
