In hoodoo, black absorbs and neutralizes hostile conditions, and practitioners burn black candles when cutting spiritual ties, reversing crossed conditions, or creating a protective perimeter around themselves or their households. In Wiccan practice, black is associated with Saturn, the void, and the transformative power of endings that make space for new beginnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- \/wp:paragraph --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!-- wp:paragraph --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShadow work is another strong application for black candles. The act of lighting a black taper while sitting with difficult emotions or unconscious patterns is a ritual container that many practitioners find useful for integration work.
