Common Sense Candle Magick Safety

1) Never leave a candle burning near pets or children.
2) Always use a heat resistant plate, bowl, or stand.
3) Never leave the candle burning out of sight.
4) If the herbs, oils, or string on the candle start to burn seemingly out of control, extinguish the flame immediately.
5) Always burn a candle on an open space of table.
6) Do not burn near a fan or wind.
7) Do not use more oil than enough to lightly coat the candle.
8) Do not use more than 1/2 a teaspoon of herbs on the candle per 4 ounces, or use just enough to roll the candle in for a light covering.
9) Do not burn a candle with herbs or oils on it for longer than an hour or two.
10) Do not move a candle after it has been lit.
11) Keep the wick trimmed 1/4 of an inch after putting the flame out.
12) Do not burn if the glass container starts to crack or already has a crack in it.
13) Always remember Smokey the Bear.

Blessed be, Witches. <3

Candle Magic Course

I wanted to start this little series off with the basics first and then we'll move on weekly introducing a new part and I'll even show off some of my own spell castings. We'll use this series to discuss how to read wax, how to dress a candle, making anointing oils, runes and other kinds of sigils, and then finally how to write your own spells.

I will also post what I call Common Sense Candle Safety. Since we are using herbs and oils on top of the candles, there is a rather serious fire hazard; much more so than just your regular candle burning.

If there is anything you would like to know specifically, feel free to comment and we can go over those as well.
