Hi Jacqueline,

HELP!!!!!!! I have a situation with a young lady interfering in my relationship. We have been burning “run devil run” candles and its been going pretty good. However, recently the candles have been turning black. Even the love candles we are burning are turning black. What else can we do?

The presence of black or soot on candles means that negativity or ‘evil’ is being burned off, if we rule out physics. Let’s tackle that one first.

Provided that you are not ‘overdosing’ your candle with oil (3,5,7,9,11 or 13 drops being the ‘magic number’ of drops of oil into the top of your candle), then we are fine. It is when someone thinks, very much like laundry detergent, that ‘if one scoop is recommended, then two SURELY will get them clean’ is not, I repeat, IS NOT the way to go with condition or anointing oils.  You could be creating your own recipe for negativity by using too much oil, thus creating the possibility of the candle putting itself out (too much oil and liquid wax in the well), but also the sooty residue of excess oil being burned off. Use only the magical number of drops (odd numbers listed above) and you should be fine.

Now, with that out of the way, let’s talk spiritual. If the candle begins to be sooty towards the top of the glass, but clears out, then this is a POSITIVE sign that negativity is being ‘burned off’ and your Guardian Angel is working for your good by the end of the candle burn. There are also some other factors to take into account. How was the flame acting throughout the burn? Was it actively flipping and moving about? Was there popping or crackling noises? Was the flame low or looked like it was about to go out? Candle wax formations, coloring or sooty residue and the actions of the flames are all factors to consider when doing candle divination.

It is an old tradition that when you see a candle that you are burning for a candle spell starting to turn black, you bolster it or give it support by anointing a white 7-day novena type vigil candle in glass with either Blessing Oil or even plain old Olive Oil to led support in your position in regards to your petition.

Keep up the work and ‘whittle’ this pesky intruder down by bolstering your candles with a white one when you see it getting black and sooty.

Good Luck! Let us know how it goes.

DID YOU KNOW? - When you need ‘luck in a hurry’ or even $100.00 to put groceries in the pantry, that if you petition St. Expedite with an EXACT PETITION, meaning you specify why you need his help (i.e. “St. Expy, I need $200.00 to get my car smogged or else I am going to be walking to work’ – like this), he will help you, in most cases?

Now, don’t go asking for gamling money to take to the casinos, but it has to be a real need. By burning a red candle in front of his image on a Wednesday, anointed with “Fast Luck” Condition Oil, he will bring you what you need. Order your “Fast Luck” Condition Oil at

A reader comments:

Okay. So I’m trying to figure this all out. Red, green, gold, pink – money – love – new beginning – which goes on what altar. I’m confused! I looked at the color directory and understand the basics but the combos escape me. Red, green and gold mean fast money? But don’t use St. Expedite cuz that is TOO fast. And don’t use pink cuz that is strictly for love. My hoodoo won’t do! Help!

The basic candle colors you mentioned mean (in this order):

Red for energy (both used for positive and negative uses), passionate love, a ‘quickie’ (really!). Mostly used for “Fast Luck”, “Run, Devil, Run” and “Reversible” candles, but can be used to bolster or ‘heat up’ any other candle burning for its’ purpose (i.e. A Green candle burning for money and a red candle to ‘make it hurry to you’.)

Gold for riches, success and bright, golden light of clarity (“Road Opener”, “King Solomon”, “Crown of Success”, and “Cut and Clear” candle spells). Said to bring ‘golden showers of riches, fame and knowledge upon you’. Used by students and those taking career-type exams to advance in life. Also used for ‘road opening’ candle spells (when you think you have no opportunities ahead).

Green for money, prosperity and riches. Can be used with gold or red candles (in a triangular pattern) for a triple strength money-riches-power drawing candle spell .

Pink for romance and affection. This gets a little confusing. Red candles for love can bring unbridled passion, and if you are not careful, a quick end to the relationship! Why? How many successful relationships you know that is based on the physical aspects of it alone? Not many, I bet. Pink brings in the calming effects of white (remember red + white = pink). White is all about understanding and knowledge. So pink candles fuse these two candle meanings together; red for passion and ardent love, white for understanding and peace. Voila!

Hope this helps!  BTW, If you got ‘connections’ with St. Expedite, woo-wee you are one lucky gal! We gotta talk!
