I was doing a black candle spell on someone for a client a couple of weeks ago when about 5 minutes after lighting the candle, it started to create a column of black smoke in the center top of the candle (especially see first photo). So, playing devil’s advocate and ruling out the possibility of too much oil on the candle top (it wasn’t because the oil was in the three wells I carve into the candle in a triangular pattern), I wanted to post these photos and a description of what is happening to the candles, in the event you have something like this happen to you.

In this situation, the black column of smoke coming off the black candle is the negativity being removed for the purchaser of the candle (not the recipient) and it is negativity being released as the negativity that the recipient had sent to the candle purchaser is being dissipated. Now, is this particular case, it was a wife that was burning a black candle on a woman who is braking up her marriage and she wanted to give her a good whelping of all kinds of bad stuff for doing what she is doing (yes, the husband is to blame as well, but the ‘other woman’ is cognizant of the wife and 2 young’uns and flaunts her affair all over Facebook).

In addition to this, I also sent a little ‘something’ to the ‘other woman’, in the form of a Valentine. The card, dusted with Graveyard Dirt and other cursing-type herbs and sachet powers, will arrive in a day or so to the woman’s workplace, where most likely she will open it, spilling the graveyard dirt all over her cubicle or work space, further keeping her cursed as she will not be able to clean up all the “stuff”.

I am burning a st johns the conqueror candle and the candle is pitch black at the top. What is it I need to do because I don’t know who my enemy is that is attacking me? The candle was dresses and is also burning with a seven day african candle and a white candle as well.

Marilyn,

While this question does not give me much to go on because it is not formulated into a question, most of your answers can be found be reading a previous post, “Free Candle Spells | Negative Signs in Candle Spells Work”

I recently was burning a candle for a client and their monetary problems and their candles turned black. I sent them these photos of their candles. Notice how dark the sooting or blackening became, and this was client that had tremendous problems with a certain financial situation.

Marilyn, in your case, unless I specifically knew what your candles were being burned for, then I could not determine why they turned black. High John the Conqueror, sometimes called Hi John the Conker in the South, is a candle burned for masculine energy and power or for a woman, strength to get through whatever she was experiencing at the time. The Seven African Powers candle is calling on all the Yoruba Gods and Goddesses, called the Orichas/Orishas/Orixas that are identified with the Ifa/Santeria religion. A white candle indicates blessing candle or an all purpose healing candle.

Hi Jacqueline,

It is me again my second question is that I started burning st jude pink candles since December 2009. Last week, I lit up one and it was burning good and I noticed that 1/2 of the glass was cracked.

Can you please explain to me why the glass crack from top and stop on the way?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you say ‘crack from the top and stop on the way’, I can only imagine that you mean that it did not appear when you began the candle spell but after and it stopped only half way down the side of the glass, leaving part of it intact.

So, let’s work on the physical side – assuming there was not a hairline crack or chip in the candle, then we can say the candle was whole when candle spell started. Sometimes, when the manufacturer pours the liquid wax, and if they do not have a taut wick, the wick will “float” over to one side of the candle and up against the glass. Then when the flame has sufficiently heated up the side ofthe glass, it cracks or breaks completely off – a FIRE HAZARD – and the reason I always, always, ALWAYS say to place candle in cereal bowl, aluminum pie pan or small sandwich saucer for protection. You did not say that the sides of the candle glass was sooty or ‘blackened’, so I am going to assume that this is not the case.

Sometimes, there is a bubble or other glass manufacturing error that can be taken into consideration in this matter.

Now for the spiritual side. Candles that crack are breaking a situation – whether good or for bad. A St. Jude candle, of which you are burning for love because of the color pink – is a sign that something is ‘busting forth’ or about the change because of its’ cracking. Either the ‘thing’ that was holding you back from love has been removed or that you have made a ‘breakthrough’ in your journey for a love. I would suggest that you continue to burn pink St. Jude candles until your love comes into view.

Keep us posted on the outcome!

J.
