What does it mean when you have a glass candle that shold burn for at least nine days and it outs before the ninth day, and there is also a popping noise that is coming out of the candle while it is burning. What does it really mean.

Thanks,

When your candle goes out; the spell is done. More interestingly enough, where did you get a candle that burns for 9 days? Most of the common candles lin glass are named “7 Day”, “7 day Vigil”, or “7 day Novena” type candles. The only other candle that is larger than that (outside of being one from Pier1, Cost Plus or custom made) is the generic 14-day candle in glass. But that is not compared to your question.

When a candle goes out, and not from the kitty playing with the flame, a torrential indoor downpour or gust of wind, then you can take it as the spell is done – HOWEVER – unless you have placed too much Condition or Anointing Oil in the top of the candle, which will ‘drown’ it.  I interviewed a candle maker, Stan of www.wizardcandles.com, and he told me that there is a ratio or “mix” of air to liquid to combustable (wick) that needs to be maintained in order for candles to burn “right”.

The wrong mix, well…..

Now on the spiritual side… it CAN also indicate that the ‘other party involved’ or ‘other interested party’ is working against you – a kind of ‘candle wars’.  For example, Girl Two wants to steal Boy from Girl One. She lights a “Love Drawing Candle” or “Break Up Candle”. Girl One finds out, starts lighting “Stay wiht Me” or “Go Away, Girl Two”  candles. Girl Two finds out, lights more or different candles, and so on and so on….

Good Luck and keep us posted on the outcomes!

There has been many questions posed to me lately about fire safety from clients who are fearful of torching their home when burning candles. I live with such a person, but I myself have had over 20 candles for clients burning all at the same time and (get this!) I have left town for business purposes and left the candle burning! I have never had any problems with candles once I learned the proper way of setting lights safely. Before I learned, I had quite an experience!

Very early on in my candle burning days, I lit a Seven African Powers candle and sat it on a glass table with wooden legs that was on hardwood flooring. I left the house a couple of hours later for a party nearby. We dined and were sitting around the backyard conversing in the oncoming twilight when all of a sudden, I got an overwhelming urge to go home. I was panicky, and I left my then spouse and children at the party to drive the short distance home. When I arrived, the candle glass had cracked and the liquid wax had ran across the glass table top and was dripping onto the hard wood floor. Fortunately, flames had not followed the trail of liquid wax, but this taught me a lesson that I had to be more careful.

So this blog post will show with pictures the various ways to protect your home from fire when leaving candles burning for your candle spell. It is considered better to leave the candles burning as constant energy that is being applied to your petition or cause, but with kids, the cat, frilly curtains, fears and petition papers being present in your environment as well, these photos should give you a good idea on how to protect your home and loved ones.

There are some tradition metal candle holders that you drop the glass candle in. Here is one example of a votive holder but my Puerto Rican madrina had some crudely fashioned tall metal candle holders for the 7 day novena type candle in glass that we commonly use for candle spell work.

Then there are Pyrex pie plates, like I use when burning a bunch of candles together. These are relatively inexpensive at your neighborhood Wally World and since the glass has been tempered for use in the oven, you can bet that it can hold temperatures of at least 450 degrees with ease.

Other methods of safe candle spell burning are shown in these photos below. We have the candle sitting in a jelly jar with water, a candle on one of those thick candle ‘plates’ from Pier 1 or Cost Plus Imports, a candle on a clear glass plate I picked up from the dollar store and for those who are truly fearful of fire, a triple protected candle with the candle in the jelly jar of water, in a bowl, on a plate. Even kitty won’t tumble that one!

The New Moon in Cancer occurs on July 21, 2009 at 9:36 pm E.S.T. It is in 29th degree of Cancer as just less than an hour later, the Moon changes signs into the astrological sign of Leo (at 10:28 pm E.S.T.). This New Moon is considered “Cardinal”, meaning that it is emotional and innovating.

Not only do we have the regular Moon lunation, but it also occurs during a Solar Eclipse, which makes this an especially powerful Moon for wishing or burning candles for the family and all that it encompasses; children, home and hearth, food, mother, nurturing, safety and security. Blue candles anointed with “Peaceful Home” Condition Oil would work well.

It is the best time to cast candle spells for compelling (for bringing someone to uphold their promise or word), controlling and domination. This Cancer Moon has great power to sway others that are easily influenced. You can find “Compelling” Condition Oil and “Controlling” Condition Oil at www.lucky13clover.com.

Our next Full Moon will occur on August 5, 2009.
