Controlling 7 Day Candle

Controlling 7 Day Candle, Yellow

The Controlling Candle is worked in Hoodoo and spiritual traditions when you need to sway situations, bend stubborn wills, and take command with authority. Yellow carries the energy of clarity, influence, and persuasive power — helping you gain control over people, circumstances, or outcomes. Use this candle when others resist your direction, when you need your voice heard, or when you want to shape events to align with your intentions.
