Gallina Negra — the Black Hen — is a traditional spiritual protection candle used when negativity feels as though it is coming from the people around you. Its work is defensive: to guard against jealousy, envy, gossip, resentment, the evil eye, and the harmful intentions of others.
Burn Gallina Negra when you want to establish a strong spiritual boundary around yourself, your family, your home, or your business. It is especially appropriate during periods of conflict, competition, unwanted attention, or strained relationships, when you want to keep another person's negativity from becoming your burden.
Rather than being a general cleansing candle, Gallina Negra belongs firmly in the protection tradition. Burn it with the intention that harmful influences remain outside your space while you maintain your own strength, confidence, and peace.
Use Gallina Negra for spiritual protection from jealousy, envy, gossip, ill will, the evil eye, unwanted attention, and harmful influences.
