Magic Forums

I am looking to perform candle magick. With the selected candles, I would normally trim down the wick as it's long but with the use for these candles for candle magick, I am not sure if touching the wick is a no no. So can I cut it down prior to using it or not?

And does specific time of day matter? I am performing my spell on the suggested day of the week and noted moon phase, however does it matter if it's done during the day (after moon rise) or at night?

Thank you.
