Devil in Disguise is created for those times when you suspect that a person or situation may not be what it appears to be. Use this candle when words and actions don't agree, someone's intentions seem questionable, or something attractive and promising may be concealing another motive.
Burn Devil in Disguise to ask that false appearances fall away, hidden enemies be revealed, and true intentions come to light. It may be used when dealing with a deceptive lover, false friend, dishonest associate, secret rival, unknown enemy, manipulative person, or an offer or opportunity whose reality may differ from what you've been shown.
It is especially useful when you sense that someone may be working against you but do not know who. Focus your intention on bringing concealed opposition into the open, recognizing those who do not have your best interests at heart, and seeing relationships and situations as they truly are.
The intention is not to confirm suspicion or assume wrongdoing. Ask instead for the truth to reveal itself—so that honesty becomes recognizable, deception becomes difficult to maintain, and hidden motives can no longer remain comfortably disguised.
Devil in Disguise may also be used protectively when you are concerned about manipulation, betrayal, false friendship, or people who conceal harmful intentions behind charm, affection, cooperation, or promises.
