If the spell calls for candles to be burned only a
certain length of time and then snuffed until the next
night, please do not blow out the candles. Use a candle
snuffer or your fingers to extinguish them. This seals the
energy of the spell, instead of dissipating it.
Do not eat any of the herbs or drink any of the oils
called for in candle magick. This can be extremely
dangerous, if not deadly!Incense
