posted in the Through the Looking Class forum but posting here too for more visibility:

did a candle spell with 3 tea candles...it is my first time using tea candles (i've done two candle spells but with regular sized candles, long and thin) and although all 3 had tall, strong flames one of them went out and tunnel. so as of right now, 2 candle flames are going strong and the other went out. looks like the other 2 candles are tunneling too....what does this mean?
this was a candle spell for healing, purification, and groundedness, especially in terms of overcoming my anxiety..also put some chamomile and peppermint herbs around the candles. can add pics if needed

update: 2 flames out and tunneled. one still burning strong while also in the process of tunneling

When candles tunnel it’s becuase the flames or intentions not strong enough OR it’s really cheap candles. I had cheap candles that tend to do that . But there’s also the fact that u might have a fan or ac on which seems to cause tunneling on occasion...
Suggestion would be to get 3 new different brand candles and try lighting it again. If it tunnels then it’s most likely there are issues regarding ur cleanse

thank you! hmm, yea i think they are just really cheap candles (plus the uneven oil distribution when i lighted them) smh. my altar is by the window but there isn't any breeze nor is it directly near the window so don't think that's the issue..

what should i do now? how should i dispose of them? this is my first time working with tea light candles and i've always had a smooth, clean burn with other candles so curious as to what i should do from here..

Get 3 new candles . Dress the candle with intentions and light it again. I sometimes keep the wax but it depends if I felt the candle ritual was a successs . If it’s not I just toss it out although there are people who stress putting in dirt in their backyard etc . I live in the city so not much I can do about that.


Tbh , candle readings / rituals are mostly intuitive . Hard for me to say what u should do and what works

I personally don’t liek tea lights . They’re tiny and last only an hour or two. Not enough to set intentions or bring about a big change. Tea candles as offering to angels guides ancestors works . So u can light those in addition to ur larger healing candles .

i agree. not a fan of tea light candles so far, will use a bigger white candle and re-light it for the new moon. but will search for better tea light candles online for future angel guides and ancestor communication
