Candle question

I've had spells that called for gently blowing out the candle if you had to leave and couldn't watch it. Whereupon returning re light the candle and let it burn. Then I now see to use a snuffer, so I'm confused too.

I've heard that snuffing is better, but I've also heard that dripping water on the candle to put it out works well too. c:

I am a firm believer of snuffing. I think that blowing disrupts the spell. I always say to snuff when writing my own spells.

Well..while sending energy to someone far distance,,the candles are blown...if not they are sniffed :)

It is up to you; however, I would abide by the directions of the spell.

Thanks everyone for your advice. I appreciate it a lot. I decided to follow the spell to the t. So I blew it out. Thank You.

It is my understanding that blowing out a candle is disrespectful. So I always snuff mine out.

It's not needed to Snuff a candle out, but it honestly depends. If the spell calls for sniffing out, or blowing out then, follow it.

You could snuff it (usually it's bettter to) or blow it out(I do it, for i dont have a snuffer) or, just pinch it out.

blowing out the candle ends the spell

snuffing keeps it going, you can light it later

thats the conventional belief. whatever

Its up to you. Theres a lot of superstitions around this sort of thing. As said above, one is that if you blow it out that it blows away the spell. Its also believed that its offense to blow out a flame to Fire Gods/Goddesses or fire spirits. I snuff them out, but that's just me. I don't see any difference if it doesn't matter to you.
