Red & Black Holy Death Figure Candle

The Red & Black Holy Death Figure Candle is a powerful devotional and working candle for those who walk with Santa Muerte — La Santísima Muerte, Most Holy Death, the beloved folk saint of Mexico and one of the fastest-growing spiritual traditions in North America.

This dual-coloured figure candle combines the energies of red and black, making it a potent tool for love and protection workings, or for petitioning Santa Muerte in her dual aspects. This is a really large candle.

Santa Muerte is a compassionate and non-judgmental saint who accepts all who come to her with sincerity and devotion. She is petitioned for protection, love, justice, healing, safe passage, and the removal of obstacles — and she is known for answering prayers swiftly and powerfully for those who honour her with respect.

Red & Black: Colour Meanings

• Red — Love, passion, desire, and matters of the heart. Red is Santa Muerte’s colour for drawing love, strengthening relationships, and working matters of attraction and fidelity.
• Black — Protection, banishing, justice, and the removal of enemies and obstacles. Black is her most powerful protective colour, worked to shield against harm, reverse curses, and clear the path of all that stands against you.

How to Work This Candle

• Place on your Santa Muerte altar alongside her image or statue.
• Offer her favourite gifts — flowers, tobacco, tequila, or sweets — as you make your petition.
• Speak your prayer or petition aloud with sincerity and respect.
• Dress the candle with an appropriate condition oil before lighting.
