Black Reversal 7-Day Candle (Hex-Breaking)

Sinderella's note

Reversal candle is the folk-Catholic answer to *somebody is talking ugly about me to the wrong people.* Black wax for the boundary, white prayer for the soul. You don't *curse back* with this one, my child — you *return* what was sent. Light it on a Saturday. Address the candle to the situation, not the person. Saint Michael handles the rest.

The long version

The reversal candle is a folk-Catholic and Hoodoo-tradition working: it does *not* curse anyone — it *returns to sender* whatever has been directed at you. Black wax (the boundary, the absorption) over a white core (the prayer, the soul). The candle is most often used when you suspect or know that someone has been *talking ugly* about you to the wrong audience — slander, bad-faith gossip, professional sabotage — or when somebody has been actively wishing you ill. The folk tradition: light it on a Saturday (Saturn's day, the day of boundaries and final answers), address the candle to the *situation* not the person (folk-Catholic ethics: you don't name the human, you name the wrong), and let it burn down. Many practitioners pair it with Saint Michael the Archangel (the protector saint) and a small mirror placed near the candle (to literally reflect). The Indio brand sells a black-over-white reversal candle in the standard 7-day form factor. Sinderella does not sell *curses* and won't recommend cursing. But returning what was sent is a *mirror,* not a hex — and folk-Catholic tradition has held space for this for centuries. Saint Michael for the protection. Saint Benedict for the boundary. Sleep with the door closed.
