White & Black Holy Death Figure Candle

The White & Black Holy Death Figure Candle is a devotional and working candle for those who walk with Santa Muerte — La Santísima Muerte, Most Holy Death, the beloved folk saint of Mexico.

This dual-coloured figure candle combines the energies of white and black, making it a powerful tool for purification and protection workings, or for petitioning Santa Muerte in her aspects of cleansing and spiritual defence. This is a very big 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, healing, cleansing, justice, and safe passage — and she is known for answering prayers swiftly and powerfully for those who honour her with respect.

White & Black: Colour Meanings

• White — Purification, cleansing, healing, blessings, and spiritual protection. White is Santa Muerte’s colour for clearing negative energy, restoring health, and invoking her purest, most benevolent aspect. She is often depicted robed in white when petitioned for healing and peace.
• 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 — Protection Oil for the black side, a cleansing or blessing oil for the white.
