LIGHTING, EXTINGUISHING AND DISPOSAL
Light all candles with a lighter or another candle. Never use matches, as the sulphur will disrupt magickal workings.
To extinguish a candle, use a candle snuffer, or wave your hand over the top of the candle to create enough draft to extinguish it.
If you plan to use it again, store it carefully. If the spell calls for a virgin candle, bury it off of your property for spells involving the movement of things away from you and on the property if you wish to draw something toward you.
Keep candle drippings from all rituals, except those where you are repelling. You can add drippings to healing pouches (if the spell was for healing). Remelt them on a talisman consecrated and empowered during the same ritual, or keep them simply in the bottom of a purse or coat pocket for good luck, fertility, romance and fortune.

CANDLES AND SYMPATHETIC MAGIC
When candles are molded into shapes, it is called sympathetic magic.
To assist in finding a familiar, burn a candle in the shape of the animal you desire
Fertility spells can be cast with a phallus-shaped candle. Healing uses human-shaped candles or skull candles. White ones are for healing, black ones for reversing spells and warding off negativity.

Another type of candle magic uses pins. Stick a pin in as close to the top as you can without breaking the wax.

As you insert it, say:
When this candle burns to the pin,
The process of (name the desire) will begin.

Insert a secont pin close to the first and say:
When this candles burns to this pin
The process of (name the desire) will come to a successful completion and end.
You can use birthday candles or very small candles for a spell that needs to be done quickly. You can also put drops of colored oil or food coloring into small tealite candles which also burn quickly.
