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 IP: Logged |

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 cleanseIP: Logged |

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.. IP: Logged |

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 . IP: Logged |

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 IP: Logged |
