The 7 Mechas candle, also known as the "Seven Knots" or "Seven Flames" candle, is a powerful tool in Santeria and other Afro-Caribbean and Latin American spiritual practices. This unique candle has seven individual wicks (or "mechas") placed on top, symbolizing multiple layers of energy and intention. Each wick represents a specific purpose or wish, and lighting all seven at once amplifies spiritual strength for the user’s goals, whether protection, cleansing, or attracting prosperity.
