Hi! I've read through different discussions on this, and different reasons for both, but I'm not clear on which is considered stronger or preferred.

Is there a clear line of thinking on this? Does it depend on the spell itself? I know a several day spell, it might be preferable for most to burn in sections safety-wise (and some spells I've seen on Lucky Mojo...i.e. the love candle work that uses pink, red & white candles...specify certain burn times).

I'm curious to hear on this from more experienced workers as to whether there is a preferred way to go here. I often use tealights if I'm going to be working something for multiple days, but will use larger candles and let them burn out whenever it's possible (and safe).

Thank you!!

Hello, luckykat,
If a spell is being worked on for several days, you can wither burn the candles in sections or buy extra candles and burn them to completion every day.
This would be your choice.
And different people have their preferred choice.
But, on the last day of the spell, you would (obviously) burn it to completion.
We allow vigil candles to remain lit (it would cause a mess it we put it out everyday).
I'm merging your post to the subforum dealing with candles.
Take care

Helllo, rose21,

If this were me, I would restart it, as you have stopped the momentum of the energy of the spell.

Now, this is just the way that I practice. Other rootworkers ay practice differently.

Wishing you the best with this

Hello,
In the book "The Magic Candle" by Charmaine Dey there's a chapter on planning your spells according to planetary hours and the moon.

Is this required in the hoodoo tradition? Are spells more effective when done according to time of day and phases of the moon?

Thank you very much for any and all help in advance.

Hello, neophyte79 ,

That is completely up to you.

Some rootworkers do, others don't.

I personally work with moon phases but not planetary hours.

Other rootworkers work with neither.

Your choice!

Hello Miss Aida,
Thank you very much for answering my question it's greatly appreciated. I have one more question though. When you say moon phases are you referring to only waxing and waning or when the moon is in a position of a certain astrological sign as well?

Thank you again.

Hi neophyte79,

Moon phases are waxing/waning as well as full moon and new moon.

Planetary hours refers to when the moon is in a certain astrological sign, or has gone void of course.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

I have been working a vigil light for a couple of weeks now(I am a firm believer in the relight method as long as a prayer is stated each time) but I need to go out of town for two nights.
I really thought it would be done by now but there have been a few days where I could only light it for an hour.I am planning on burning it all the way down,regardless of the time it takes.
Does not lighting it for a day blow the spell? Or should I take then candle with me? I have been burning it quasi-secretly as "just a scented candle(it has no label)"...but if I take it with me I think that may be a sign of its' significance.Any suggestions?
St.Michael with me,every step of the way.

Hi snouvavou,

If you can take it with you, that may be the best course of action. Could you not just say it's an aromatherapy candle, to allay any suspicion from others who might wonder why you brought it with you?

Good luck.

Unfortunately I fell asleep earlier than usual and someone blew out my archangel gabriel candle :/ Would there be anyway to continue with the candle? and if not I know I would have to rework the spell. how would I do that? buy a totally different candle?

Hello, catsandtea19,

It's not good to blow out candles.

It's not good to let other people see your spells.

Unfortunately, you will have to start again (with an explanation that you didn't know and that you are truly sorry)

Wishing you the best

Hello, julhoney,

Welcome to the forum!!

First of all, you NEVER blow out a candle. NEVER. You snuff it out. That act alone will ruin the spell.

Your Father seeing your spell ruined the spell.

Your Father blowing out the candle ruined the spell.

You re-lit the candle. At this point, it has no magical significance because the spell was already ruined by your Father. BUT, even if he was not involved, you would have ruined the spell by blowing out the candle.

Start everything all over again.

I am so very sorry

Take care

I have a question, my candles were blown out by my husband by accident without any negative intent. Can I relight them? Smudge, new wick anything to make them continue to work? It took forever to prepare them properly and just throwing them away breaks my little heart.

Hello Candlelight,

I am so sorry this happened. If this were me I would say a prayer over the candles asking for forgiveness for them still to work for me on whatever the situation is while I relighting them. Then let them burn and see watch for signs in your life that they are working. If after the candles have burning out and you have had no positive signs or movement on the matter for a while then I would get some new candles and try again. If you are proficient with a form of divination than you could also check that after relighting the candles to see if they will still be effective. You could also hire a reader to check this for you at (www.readersandrootworkers.com). Many readers have a very affordable yes or no question reading.

Peace~

May I please have thoughts on helping a candle come through a situation when the flame is making a well through the middle and unmelted wax around the outside is threatening to flood or suffocate the flame. I think its because the wax on the outside close to the glass is cold and not heating up. I've tried insulating the candle with foil to keep the heat in and that seems to work a little. What I would really like to do is remove some of the cold wax thats making the wall around the flame so that it doesn't fall on my flame and out my candle altogether. Why is that wax wall there in first place? what may be meaning of that? besides the wax being cold, maybe. Any helpful insights?
Thanks y'all.

Hello, starsirius ,

Depending on where you bought tis candle. it could be the quality of the candle, the temperature of the room, or signs.

You describe a glass candle, but this can also happen with a figural candle in a cold room

I doctor my candles by using a mini torch (you can buy then at any tobacco store) to assist them. but I would not use aluminum foil

Wishing you the best

I'm in a situation (it doesn't matter to explain it) in which the spell is no longer of use and I want to end it early. Miss Cat said on a post on the first page that the way to finally end a spell is to turn it upside down and drench it with water. If I were to do this, would it be disrespectful? I feel like leaving it undone after a snuff but never finishing it is moreso disrespectful. But I could be wrong. Help? (It's a LM glass encased novena)

Hello Shutter,

It looks like you're replying to this post by Miss Cat:

"With respect to altar lights, offertory candles, and jumbos, i was taught to spit on my finger and thumb and to pinch the flame out, while holding in mind my prayer, petition, or intent. The spellwork is then considered to be "on hold," as it were, and the candle can be relit.

I was likewise taught that to blow a candle out is more final, signifying that you are done with the work.

The most final way to end a candle spell, i was taught, is to turn the candle upside down and quench it in water or snuff it in Graveyard dirt before it naturally goes out. This is done especially when the candle is a small altar light or offertory candle that has been named and "baptized" to represent a person."

As you can see, Miss Cat didn't say that turning a candle upside down and sticking it in water or graveyard dirt is the only way to end a spell early. You can also just blow out the candle, which signifies that the work is done, as opposed to just snuffing it out with your fingers or a brass candle snuffer. So, since you're using a Lucky Mojo novena candle, to signify the work is done, just blow it out. If you're worried about it being "disrespectful," one thing you could do is say out loud before you blow out the candle why you're doing so, and say that the work is done.

Hope that helps!
Thank you saints and spirits!

Quick question: I was doing a Cut and Clear spell (the one on the web site). Everything was going great, but I had to leave for a doctor's appointment, and you're supposed to leave the white candle--the one for new love-- burning to the end. I carefully extinguished it--and then I blew on it. I have no idea why I did that, except that I didn't want to leave anything accidentally burning.

I hope I don't have to do the whole Cut and Clear again. I am DONE with this person. Starting from the beginning would be a reminder of everything he did that made me upset or pissed me off. It would be like digging up a corpse to have another funeral.

What I did was to back up the spell to the point where you work with the white candle. I re-dressed it, prayed over it again, recited the 23rd psalm, unfolded the paper with all the good qualities I want, re-read them, and went from there. It's now burning properly again.

Is that enough? Do I have to do the whole Cut and Clear starting from scratch? Last time I did it, I got the Cut and I got the Clear, but I didn't get the new love I hoped for. Can I burn another white figural candle and re-do the good part? Because I really want that new love thing. As far as I'm concerned, I earned it.

Hi Honeybeelight,

You do want that white candle to complete its burn entirely, so snuffing it out was not a good idea. I know you had to leave for an appointment, but next time consider putting it in a container of sand (or something equally non-flammable) and putting it in your bathtub. That is what I do when I need to keep a candle lit for an extended period of time.

The way you re-visited your candle sounds good, so continue the burn and see what kind of results you get. It may have been alright, but it's impossible for us to tell on the forum. If you feel it has not worked for you, then you will need to re-do the spell from the start.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

Thank you, Miss Athena! The online Cut and Clear has a very specific altar, which would mean the altar would have to be broken up or the whole spell would have to be done from the start. I was in a bit of a hurry, because today is my birthday and I wanted to start it all fresh and clean. That worked, at least partly, so i’m really happy about that. I feel much better and I can go ahead and enjoy myself today!

On the other hand, I just got a text from a dead guy, and there were some signs of resistance on that side, too, which were very irritating: ash and smeary stuff on the floor. And I just got a birthday text from a dead guy. So although I feel the right way about this (“meh”), I’m going to order some more figural candles and be prepared to redo everything from scratch. i’m Not especially eager to—candles and incense indoors make me cough, and I burn things outside if I can—but I will just plan better and devote the day to nothing but that if I have to re-do it. Thanks for your answer :)

Hi Honeybeelight,

First of all, happy birthday! I hope you're having a wonderful day!

As I mentioned above, you may want to wait to see what kind of results you get before re-doing the spell. But if you do have to repeat it, do make sure you are completely focused on that spell and are not distracted by appointments or other outside interference.

Sometimes we consider it spiritual interference if we lose our focus or if something detracts us from completing the work as instructed. It may be a sign that one is not fully invested in the outcome or that other factors are at play. Something to think about.

Do please keep us posted and I wish you the best of luck with it.

Hello, Honeybeelight ,

What does this mean that you got a text from a dead guy?

Is he dead to you or do you literally mean that he's dead?

Whoops, Miss Aida: I literally just saw this! I meant he was dead to me. I'm trying not to say his name out loud even inside my head. At the same time, he started to want to chit chat about my birthday exactly as though he hadn't ghosted me. I haven't got a clue what that's about: delayed reaction to the honey jar I gave up on, the famous Cut and Clear effect (they pop back in the second they feel you're gone), or something else. I do know that I didn't quite perform the spell correctly, so I ordered new supplies in case I have to do it again. And I know I need to be much more careful with my candle work in future.

Honeybeelight, I agree with Miss Athena. I once had to do a Cut and Clear spell three times over a period of several weeks, before my heart was calm enough to let go.

Fortunately the Cut and Clear spell kit goes a long way -- all I needed to repeat the spell was some extra candles.

Good luck,

Hello HappinessRules,

I think it means you just had your mouth too close to the candle ;)

I would just relight it and recite your Psalm again. If this happened when you burning a candle over a series of days, I would check in with divination to see if the work was affected, then act accordingly.

Good luck.

Hi everyone,

I've been following the forum for a while now, but haven't ever posted before.

I'm currently doing a love working with 7 day glass candles, but I have roommates and I also am a university student, so there is no way I can let the candle continuously burn for 7 days straight. Is it alright if I just snuff the candles with a snuffer as long as I don't blow them out?

Or perhaps, is there anyway that I can make the love working more effective given my circumstances? I usually will thank the spirit that I am working with and snuff it out with no intention of ending the spell, so I'm hoping that means that the working isn't ended each time, but I just don't know!

Please help! I really can't burn these candles continuously for 7 days because of my living situation and can only for a span of a few hours each day, even though I want to.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Aimie Ye --

My advice to you is to think outside the box. Instead of struggling with multi-day glass-encased vigil lights, burn small candles that will finish naturally in one or two hours -- birthday candles, yea lights, 4" altar lights are all quite suitable to your purposes -- and just light one per day. Easy, convenient, and absolutely traditional!

Hello,

Question on Vigil candles. I know they’re supposed to be lit continuously until they burned completely on they’re own. Supposed I’m not comfortable in leaving them lit unattended, I plan to snuff them out with a candle snuffer. So when I want to burn them in sections, is there a certain appropriate number of inches or hours I should have them burn everyday?

Hello CuriousIndigo,

That's really up to you, but I'd personally give it at least 10 minutes, just so it can get established and get going before it's snuffed out again.

Thank you. I’m able to lit it for few hours everyday comfortably. I guess I read something about how some would mark the glass with a marker for some reason. That made me wonder if there’s certain “rule” to light Vigil in sections.

Hello,

I have a vigil currently going (not long to go now. Probably a day), and I've been leaving it lit in my shower, praying over it daily. Earlier I placed my mojo hand over the vigil's smoke, and the hand accidentally covered too much of the top of the vigil candle, therefore cutting out oxygen and the candle ran out. I tried to relight it with matches but there was too much liquid wax so I let the liquids out then relit it.
I still feel good about it and actually got an important email I was looking forward to straight after (I must say the mojo hand has been amazing for me lately!), but I wonder if I acted accordingly and/or if I should light another?

I was reading psalms 51 on an uncrossing vigil candle and as I was breathing my prayer on it I accidentally blew out the candle.
I relit it again straight away but I am worried that I invalidated the spell. I will let it burn over the next few days but should I repeat it again?

Hi Pegasus,

It happens, but may be a sign of interference with your work. You can keep it burning but start another one to keep you covered.

Good luck.

Use in Magic:
This ground-breaking work was originally sold via ads in Black-owned newspapers, and it opened up a nation-wide conversation on the increasing importance of conjure work with candles. The author was a participant-observer and documentarian who respectfully verified the sources of his information from workers in the African-American Spiritual Church Movement, to compile a complete manual of home and church altar candle services for use in churches and by home practitioners. This famous hoodoo grimoire contains more than 50 candle and lamp spells for protection, love, wealth, and luck. Now, with 32 additional illustrated pages by editor catherine yronwode, The Guiding Light is back in print, bigger and better than ever. Chapters include: How to Set Up a Candle Altar, One-Candle Rites with Psalms, Seven-Candle Planetary Rites, Eight-Candle Sacred Octaves, Nine-Candle Catholic Novenas, Ten Ancient Oil Lamp Devotions, Twelve-Candle Zodiacal Rituals, How to Use Seals with Candles, and Candle-Magic Around the World. An inspirational occult classic, it remains a popular source-book to this day.

A.I.,

You asked a specific question noon how to remove an addiction, so I moved your question to the proper thread,

"Spells and Prayers for Physical Addiction Alcohol Tobacco Drugs",
https://forum.luckymojo.com/spells-and- ... 5-300.html

In this thread, you will find 6 pages of advice as well as my response.

I need some solid advice and facts on a 7 day candle ritual that was blown out by current roommate two days into it.

A little background if needed...

I am in a very stressful position and have exactly 10 days to find a place to live. I have been staying on someone's couch for the past 2 weeks thanks to a friend who rescued me from homelessness. She asked her son if I could stay on his couch. The reason I was left homeless was and ONLY was because I had burned sage in the previous apartment I was at. I am in a very vulnerable state right now until I have a place of my own. I have a felony on my record, and this makes getting an apartment here in florida very hard. I need a space of my own again. But anything right now.

I got a job, I am doing very well at it, serving at a restaurant. I have solidified my new job and working extra shifts, picking up everything I can and they are offering me shifts, which was one of my requests (more shifts, and a second stream of income).

Anyways her son decided he does not want me to stay another month. He said it's too crowded here which I agree, 5 other people here.

When I first moved in he said I could burn all the candles and incense I want. I started this ritual on the 19th, and it has burned without me being here undisturbed for the past couple days in the living room where there is a small table setup. It took me a lot of effort, time etc to get everything setup. I just texted him and he said he blew them out because "they were just burning"..... he never said anything to me or told me it was not ok. Someone is always here.

To the point..

I did a 7 day Fast Luck candle with a 7 day Good Luck candle The Fast Luck was behind the Good Luck. So two seven day candles, the Fast Luck burned half way down already , while the Good Luck candle only has burned two inches.

Anyways, I feel this is just a total affront and disrespect.

It is literally Winter Solstice, and of all days he does it on this day. What should I do TONIGHT? Winter Solstice, where my future hangs in the balance.

I am off work tomorrow so I don't care how late I am up but I can't really read out loud in here. I did last night though. I started the candle ritual out back and read out there then brought them into the altar.

I have all my magickal supplies here, which is quite a bit now but nothing like I would like. I have candles of different colors. Should I do something to protect the next ritual from this roommate? I am VERY angry because he knows this is important to me, and he has proven himself to be good hearted but confused. My own undesirible traits learned from narcsissitic family members probably are partly to blame

I won't describe the whole ritual but I requested a 1 br apartment within walking distance to work, and a few other things.

I am doing everything to make opportunities for this magick to work but I need a miracle at this point. Once I get a place of my own that someone else can't hold over my head I will be so much less anxious. But I may end up not being able to stay at this job if I can't get a place nearby.

Bottom line;

1) What should I do? What would you do?

2) What effects does this have and can it be saved?

3) I know candles being blown out are the worst thing that can happen, does it cause the opposite to happen (bad fortune / luck)?

4) I have a Saint Jude candle and a different colored 6 inch candles (for whoever may be contemplating my options).

Thank you in advance to whoever helps me. This forum has been helpful in the past, and I truly appreciate anyone who's taking the time to read and help.

Note: I have edited this post heavily to eliminate mentions of religions and requests for assessments of the efficacy of products that we do not make. Replies are still important, but they should be to the point of the events, not the people or products. Thanks. -- cat

1) I would ask permission of your host / landlord / the primary renter of the space if it will be okay if you switch to smaller candles such as tealights, 4" chime candles, Hanukkah candles, or birthday candles and burn them only while you are there and put them out at night or when you are away.

2) Many people burn such candles in sections or as they can and do not expect to burn them continuously.

3) No, a spell is not flipped and made ugly by blowing the candles out. It is just stopped.

4) If the Saint Jude is a vigil candles and the person whose name is on the lease says no to vigil candles, then mark your 6" candle in sections and burn a section at a time, snuffing it out (but not blowing it out) between burns.

Hello All

A happy new year to everyone.

I don’t if this is the right place for my question.

I lite candles for my prosperity spell work and stepped outside my home to get something from my car.

I usually burn candles in a safe area of my kitchen, however my husband saw them and blew them out even after telling him not to.

I’m confused as to what to do now.

Do I relight the candles and continue with the spell work?
Is this a bad sign?
Do I start all over again with different set of candles?

Advice is greatly appreciated.

Start22,

Happy New Year to you as well!

When a candle is blown out, it means the work is done not needed anymore. You never blow candles out, only put them out with a snuffer or other means. This is a bad sign in that the work was not successful. It can be an error on his end but spiritually it is a sign to stopping the prosperity.

You have two options, get a new set of candles ( the other ones need to be disposed of, they are spent). Redo the work as you planned it, making sure no one messes it up. Second option, is to evaluate why it happened, is this the right spell? Did you cleanse, maybe you should do a different working? From this perspective, I would cleanse the house (as you do on New Years), then redo the work and see how it burns.
