MAGICKAL CANDLE TIPS
Never light candles near windows with curtains that can blow about and catch fire.
Use a snuffer or damper to extinguish candles. Blowing may break the magick by interfering with the flow of energy between the spiritual planes.
It is best to use a single candle per invocation. Whenever possible, allow a candle to burn out completely, or relight the same candle for the same invocation in the future.
It is best to light candles with matches. However, a good rule of thumb is to use matches (fire and wood) for earthly actions, and a lighter can be used for spiritual actions.
When several people are lighting candles for ceremonial purposes in a group (marriages, parties, NYE celebrations), use the flame of one candle to light another.
If individual desires are sought, even in groups, each individual should light their own candle.
If your wish is to release energy, or to free yourself from something, throw candle remains in the trash outside your home.
If your wish is to attract something, stimulate something, or encourage increase, place the candle in the garden or keep for reuse in another personal request ritual.
Never, ever, ever, reuse candles that have been used in rituals or spells for others.
It is OK to recycle paraffin to repeat a request, renew a request, make a new candle, or mix colors as long as it is personal, involving the same person and the same magick.
