You may be tying to get too much guidance from the internet. You found an article somewhere that said these talismans could not work -- but then you said you were not even sure what they looked like. Their shape and form has some meaning, but the way in which they were empowered is the key to their efficacy. Some internet article tells you this could not be -- yet you come here to a hoodoo site to ask our opinion.
My opinion: Yes, there are indeed talismans -- Chinese and otherwise -- designed to deflect or reverse a curse back to the sender and in fact such talismans are common more or less everywhere in the world, Many folks use such articles to protect a home, family or person.
The candle spell sounds fine. But i prefer to also keep up the contact work with Goofer Dust and Hot Foot in a situation like this, where you actually CAN contact them.
