Candle information/spells from my Grimoire!

Information

• Candles may be used to “energize” or “activate” a spell; once the spell ingredients are gathered, a candle may be lit among them or over them to bring energy to the spell and send it out into the world. Sometimes this candle is left to burn for a long period of time, or till it burns out. Sometimes it is relit several times over the course of a multi-day spell.
• Many people like to cleanse their candles as well as the rest of their tools before beginning spellwork. Candles are more delicate than some other tools, so your method should be chosen carefully to prevent damage. Fumigation can be used, provided they are kept distant from the heat source and cleansing by water can also be done with care. Some skip this step with candles, especially if they are brand new, out of the box.
• When a spell calls for a “virgin candle”, it is referring to a candle that has not previously been burned
• You can use birthday candles if a spell calls for a candle to be burned all the way down without going out and it will burn faster!
