Tread lightly. You’ll often hear that phrase when asking about reversal candle spells. But I’m going to tell you NOT to worry about treading lightly. You’ll find out why here. Also, I will teach you how to do an effective return to sender spell and when it’s necessary or not. Let’s jump in!
A reversal candle spell is a form of magic cast with the use of a candle to reflect negative energy off of the caster and back to its original source. I think of it as the old adage: “I’m rubber, you’re glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks on you.” There is one easy, effective way to do reversal candle spells that involve a candle and a mirror that we will teach later on in the article. But first…
Some folks in the witchy community believe reversals are “gray area”, while others will tell you flat-out they are wrong. But my thinking and experience is this – if an individual is casting black magic your way or the evil eye, where is that energy going to go? Either A. you’ll take the brunt of the bad energy being thrown at you. B. you’ll banish it and send it gods know where. Or C. you reflect it off of you and send it back to its original source – the person that threw it at you to begin with!
I’m not Christian and my magical and mundane morals don’t revolve around “turning the other cheek”. If this is how you do your magic or work your life, that’s fine too! To each their own. However, I believe in self-defense and protecting my family and what I’ve worked hard for. SO…reversal candle spells are necessary. If I decided to simply block and banish the bad energy thrown my way, then I’m sending it randomly into the ether, where it could attach to someone else who doesn’t deserve it. Instead, I feel it’s more than justified to return it to its sender.
Not everyone will feel a reversal candle spell should be a regular part of their practice. And others might feel reversals are required once a month or more. How do you know when a reversal candle spell is right? There’s a few basic qualifications, in my opinion:
Here’s our favorite reversal candle spell that’s simple and effective. I recommend doing this once a month for high-profile witches and as needed for others.
If you choose to create your own return to sender or reversal spells, you might choose ingredients like herbs, stones, glass, and other objects. Truly the way in which you cast your magick is up to you and can be anything you want it to be. I find some of the best things to use in reversals are herbs and tools that have purifying, warding, and protective properties like:

Thank you for the great article. For a reversing spell or hex can a reversing red and black candle be used? Red at the top and black on the bottom ? From lighting this type of candle before , I didn’t. Have very much good energy happening in my way. Unless at the time I lit this candle there was a strong hex that required continuous reversing candles to be lit ? Should I just stick to a particular 1 color candle to do reverse hex back to it’s unknown sender ?

I did a reverse spell candle for a few different reasons. My concern is that the candle (black on the outside, red on the inside)
It burned all the way down through the middle of the candle. As in, the red burned and left the black whole on the outside. Does this mean that it didn’t work or that there is something much darker at work here?

Have you been cleansing and warding your home and yourself? Maybe a witch bottle is in order.

When is the best time to perform a reversal spell? Waning, Waxing, New or Full moon?
kitty fields | 24th Nov 22
Waning, IMO.

Do you rub the candle down on both feet or just one ?

Do I have to wait until the candle turns off by itself
kitty fields | 8th Aug 22
It’s best. But if you have to stop the spell yourself, snuff it and then relight it and let it finish the next day same time.

What type of sign when is the reverse red and black candle finish and it’s a white form inside of the glass it’s a tiny bit of bla around the bottom of the jaw of the candle what sign is that

When making holes in the 7 day reversal candle do you go all the way to the bottom?
kitty fields | 16th Dec 21
I don’t. About halfway.

Will it work if the sender is a senior witch than you who claimed has work with many demons, gods, goddess & angels?

Go full protection, cleansing, uncrossing , return to sender, fiery wall.. have faith your guides, guardians and ancestors are protecting you from any harm and will bring you joy. Find “blind spots” of any misfortune… cleanse/banish with the waning moon and draw in good luck and fortune with the waxing.. it is your destiny and life.. you have ALL say of whom enters and influencing you or your energy. Power up, my friend. Have no doubt in your power and where you came from. Keep your hand close. Especially if the offender was egotistical and foolish enough to tell you who, what, and when they would do work on you. The cocky “senior” witch gave you her map… you can block the road.

I love your response . “They gave you the map… now you can block the road.” I will never forget that quote. 🖤

For the future, I recommend not putting their names out there online. It’s best to keep this kind of work secret.
