Reversible Candles Wholesale: The Complete Line Every Spiritual Retailer Should Carry
A retailer's guide to the full reversible candle range — double action colors, 7-chakra, scissor, sword, jar formats, plus the essential Siete Archangels and Evil Eye companion candles.
Reversible candles are the workhorse of any serious candle wall in a botánica, metaphysical shop, apothecary, spiritual store, or smoke shop stocking ritual products. They are not the flashiest SKU on your shelf — that distinction belongs to the triple action red/white/blue candle — but the double action family, together with its many format variants (7-chakra, scissor, sword, jar), outsells the triple action by a significant margin because reversible candles are the traditional foundation of reversal work across Santería, Espiritismo, Palo, Hoodoo and the broader Caribbean spiritual tradition.
This article walks you through the full reversible candle range now carried at VD Importers — including the classic 9-inch double action colors, the 7-chakra and yellow/green prayer candles, the specialty scissor and sword candles, jar candle variants, and the essential companion candles (Siete Archangels and Evil Eye) that complete the reversal-work display.
What Is a Reversible Candle?
A reversible candle is any candle designed to reverse or send back negative energy — curses, envy, harmful spiritual work, or bad energy directed at the customer or their family. The most common format is the double action candle, a 9-inch pillar with two vertically-layered colors of wax: one color representing the positive energy the user wants to attract, the other representing the negative energy to be reversed. Beyond the double action, the reversible candle family includes prayer-candle formats (7-chakra, yellow/green), figure candles (scissor, sword), and jar candle variants — each serving specific ritual purposes.
The Core Double Action Reversible Colors
The 9-inch double action reversible candle ships in cases of 12. Each color combination targets a specific ritual situation:
Black and White Double Action Reversible
The black and white double action is the foundational reversal candle. Black represents the negative energy being sent back to its source; white represents protection, peace and spiritual elevation. This is the bestseller of the family and belongs in the deepest stock of any retailer serving spiritual customers.
Green and Black Double Action Reversible
The green and black variant combines money/prosperity (green) with reversal of harm (black). Customers use it when they believe negative spiritual work is blocking their finances, business, or career — a very common situation across botánica and apothecary customer bases.
Yellow and Green Double Action Reversible
The yellow and green variant pairs Oshun-energy (yellow, for love and abundance) with prosperity work (green). Often used for customers dealing with combined relationship and financial difficulties.
The Prayer Candle Reversible Line
Alongside the 9-inch pillar format, VD Importers carries reversible prayer candles in shorter formats designed for shorter ritual sessions or altar placement. Each prayer candle is approximately 8" x 2" with a burn time of around 90 hours:
Double Action 7-Chakra Reversible Prayer Candle
The 7-chakra double action reversible prayer candle integrates the seven chakra colors into the reversible-candle format. Used by customers integrating Indian chakra work with Caribbean reversal practices. Niche but loyal customer base — appeals particularly to modern Wiccan, energy-work and holistic-wellness customers.
Double Action Yellow/Green Reversible Prayer Candle
The yellow/green prayer candle is a shorter prayer-candle format of the yellow/green color combination — used for combined love and prosperity work with reversal. Excellent for customers who want a shorter ritual session than the 9-inch pillar allows.
Double Action Black/White Reversible Prayer Candle
The double action black/white reversible prayer candle is the prayer-format version of the flagship black/white double action — same intention, shorter format.
Specialty Figure Reversible Candles
For customers performing more specific ritual work, VD Importers carries figure-shaped reversible candles that visually represent the ritual intention. These sell more slowly than the standard pillars but produce strong loyalty from spiritual workers who use them:
Scissor-Shape Reversible Candle
The scissor-shape white and black reversible candle is used specifically for cutting away harmful ties, spiritual attachments, or bindings placed by others. The scissor imagery makes the ritual intention visually explicit — customers use it when they feel a specific person or situation is holding them back.
Sword-Image Reversible Candle
The sword-image white and black reversible candle is approximately 7 inches tall and used for spiritual protection and cutting through obstacles. The sword symbolizes decisive spiritual action — often burned by customers dealing with legal trouble, spiritual attack, or situations requiring strong protective intervention.
The Companion Candles That Complete the Display
Two additional candles belong on every reversible-candle wall — customers who buy reversible candles almost always also buy these:
Siete Archangels Candle (Seven Archangels)
The Siete Archangels candle is used for calling in the protection of the seven archangels — Miguel, Gabriel, Rafael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Jehudiel and Barachiel — particularly during ritual reversal work. Customers performing serious reversal often light this alongside the double action for combined protective invocation. Cross-sells strongly with Vrinda Neel (Siete Archangels incense) — many customers buy both together.
Evil Eye Candle (Mal de Ojo)
The Evil Eye candle removes the effects of the evil eye — a common belief across Hispanic-Caribbean, Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern folk traditions. Customers buy this when they suspect envy or bad energy has been directed at them or a family member (particularly a child). Typically burned before or alongside the double action for combined cleansing and reversal work.
Jar Candle Variants for Reversal Work
Alongside the pillar and prayer-candle formats, VD Importers also carries jar candle variants for reversal and spiritual work. Jar candles offer a longer, safer burn than pillar candles — customers dealing with extended ritual cycles (7-day work, 21-day work) often prefer the jar format for its controlled burn and the reduced fire risk of a glass-encased flame. Ask our wholesale team about current jar candle availability, since specific variants rotate through inventory.
Wholesale Pricing and Margin
The reversible candle family across all formats ships in cases of 12. At B2B pricing, wholesale costs sit in a competitive mid-tier range for ritual candles, depending on the specific SKU. Most retailers price these candles at around $4.99 to $12.99 individually depending on the format, delivering gross margins of approximately 60-70 percent. Volume drives the profitability — most spiritual regulars buy 2 to 4 candles per visit across the reversible family, so basket size lifts even though the individual ticket is modest.
⚠ SAFETY & STORAGE: Always place lit candles on a non-flammable heat-safe surface (ceramic plate, stone tile, or dedicated candle holder). Keep out of reach of children and pets. Store unused candles in a cool, dry place. Never leave a burning candle unattended, especially during long-duration ritual burns. For jar candles, ensure the glass is fully cooled before handling.

How Long Does a Reversible Candle Burn?
The 9-inch double action reversible candle burns for approximately 50 to 70 hours of continuous burn time, or around 3 to 5 days when used in standard ritual practice (lit during sessions and extinguished between). The prayer candle variants (approximately 8" x 2") burn for around 90 hours. Scissor and sword figure candles burn approximately 15 to 30 hours depending on size. Jar candles offer longer, more controlled burns.
