“I did my spell/candle stuff/ritual, now how do I clean it
up, how do I get rid of it, and where do I get rid of it.”
If one reads an old time spell or candle working it will
usually include how to dispose of the remnants of your workings, but a lot of
new spells that you see popping up here and there, do not include that, and
that is a serious mistake.
Even Raymond Buckland’s classic book on candle burning and
rituals Does NOT include how to dispose of the remains of your
workings----Opps!!! (By the way I do
recommend purchasing this book it is excellent in its rituals “Practical Candleburning Rituals” by Raymond
Buckland printed by Llewellyn Publications---they have a web site you can order
it directly from them. You should have it on your personal magic shelf and once
you determine the kind of spell you can make notes in your book of the workings
disposal.
When you are doing a spell or candle working or ritual you
are pulling up the energy from the earth and all around you to focus, become
one single “ball” of energy to do your work and this sends it up into the
Heavens or into the air to do your working, but what many people forget is just
as lightning grounds itself so to must a spell.
If you see in slow motion how a lightning bolt works you’ll
see some energy reaching up to the sky, and then the bolt comes down to meet
it, this is positive and negative electrons meeting and then grounding
itself. So too much we do it with a
spell, we pull up the energy and send it up and the results are then sent down
to us, but is it really “grounded” to complete the work? No it is not.
Proper disposal of the remains of your working therefor is
important. If you do a spell or candle
work and the spell does not say how to dispose of the remains then you have to
look at the spell and your intent to get an idea and of course you need to take
a look at your living circumstances, many people are living in apartments now a
days, owning one’s own home is slowly becoming impossible, unless you can get
several like-minded folks to go in a rent a home together.
You also have to get familiar with what is being offered in
the city or town that you’re living in to do your workings, for example I live in a town where there is
NO cemetery, so I have to drive out of town to get to one and it is not exactly
close by either, but I have lots of abandon railroad tracks (you’ll see in a
minute), burying on a business property can be hard if there is no dirt to dig,
so you have to be creative, see if they have any potted plants to decorate the
front of their business etc.
Another thing is if you are using (and many people do) glass
enclosed candles, some of these recommendations are not practical as it can
clog up the earth, well recycling is always the best way and I’ll explain that
further down.
So you have to think what do you want to do to properly
complete your ritual and make it successful.
I’m going to list here the types of disposals and locations,
when to use that type of disposal and I’ll give examples of the types of spells
and what type of disposal that would be appropriate.
Some are obvious, some are devious, and some may have you
scratching your heads. You have to
remember spell work or candle magic is natural and is of nature, so releasing
the work back to nature completes the loop to make it happen, remember this and
you will see your workings increase.
These types of disposals work very well for free-standing
candles such as taper or pillar but not well at all for Glass enclosed candles
so I will include alternate means to dispose of the glass.
Since the candle, and I’m speaking of either free-standing
or figure candles, itself is a tangible
extension of your prayer, you do not want to treat it as garbage when it has
finished burning. You may choose to bury the candle in your backyard, keep it
as a memory of a prayer that was answered, or consciously recycle it by disposing
it in a recycling location and imagining the energy you put into the candle
being recycled into the universe.
Most importantly with glass enclosed candles, do not throw
the glass into the garbage, as you would not want to throw away your prayer or
attained result. However there are some
exceptions but either way, Show respect!
Remember “It is better to light a candle than to curse the
darkness.” — Ancient Chinese proverb
Be sure that your method of disposal does not go against your
desired outcome so follow the methods that I have outlined here: Remember these work best with free-standing
and figure candles.
BURYING IN YOUR BACK
YARD----Good for Marriage Spells, Prosperity spells, Protection Spell,
Family Harmony Spells----
Reason: This is to maintain a desired circumstance or
situation, finances, keeping a person or a possession in your life.

BURYING IN THE
CEMETERY----this is for Curses and Banishment spells---
Reason: To curse, harm or kill a person or to end
undesirable circumstances or habits in your life.
Warning: ALWAYS be respectful in a Cemetery, be sure
to leave a few coins and/or pieces of candy at the cemetery gate when you
leave. Be sure to take a different route
home and DO NOT look back or over your shoulder as you leave.
BURYING IN A TARGETS
YARD OR PROPERTY----This is to either Curse the target (person), Love

person or family.
Warning: If cursing, take a different route home, do
not look back or look over your shoulder.
LEAVING AT A TARGETS
FRONT DOOR OR DRIVEWAY---the same as above.
Reason: One needs to be bold to do this as this is the
most direct way to curse or to influence.
Best way to do this: the remains must be inconspicuous and discreet such as ashes mixed with a bit of dirt.
Best way to do this: the remains must be inconspicuous and discreet such as ashes mixed with a bit of dirt.
Warning: If for cursing take a different route home,
do not look back or look over your shoulder.
BURYING AT A BUSINESS

for Love spells, Influence and manipulation spells, Spells to help release
emotional pain, banishment spells and also for Curses.
Reason: To
release negative circumstances or emotions, to deliver a curse or influence a
person in distance or unknown location.
Warning: If you’re doing it for cursing take a
different route home do not look back or look over your shoulder.
RELEASING INTO A
MAN-MADE LAKE/RESERVOIRS--- Do NOT do it---Man-made lakes and reservoirs
usually do not have natural streams or rivers that carry water in and especially
out, the energy tends to be fairly stagnant.
If you live near one of these refer to Burying in the Back
yard list of circumstances and uses otherwise do not do and refrain from using
it.
RELEASING INTO PONDS
OR SWAMPS---- For Curses---there is an exception, if you live on or near
the pond or swamp or even salt marsh in question do not use, refer to Burying
in Backyard list of circumstances and uses.

energy, if you do not live near one you may use these natural bodies of water
for cursing, but if it is close to you do not use,
Warning: if the
Pond, Swamp or Salt Marsh is part of a nature reserve to protect wild life DO NOT USE, seek other means of
completing your curse.
LEAVING ON AN ACTIVE
RAILROAD TRACKS--- for Love spells, Influence/manipulation spells, spells
to release emotional pain, Banishment spells, Curses.
Reason: To release negative circumstances. To deliver
a curse or influence a person who lives in the direction of the running
train(s) Be sure to put it the well
enough in advance of the trains approach, you can leave it on the wooden or
cement ties and don’t be fussy, get well away from the tracks or you could be
killed---Trains do not stop on a dime.
Warning: If
cursing take a different route home, do not look back or look over your
shoulder. Avoid the train and railroad tracks
for at least 3 days.
LEAVING ON ABANDONED
RAILROAD TRACKS---- For Banishment spells and break-up spells
Reason: To separate yourself or other people from
each other or a situation, if you want the separation to be complete do not
look back or over your shoulder it will negate the spell because it means you’re
not reading to separate.
With the next two forms of disposal use caution when doing
this especially at night, you could get hit by a car and seriously hurt.
LEAVING AT A ROAD
INTERSECTION (depending upon the spell either a 4 way crossroads or 3 way
crossroads) --- For Curses, Banishment Spells, Release personal emotional pain,
Love spells, Influence and manipulative spells.

cursing take a different route home, again do not look back or look over your
shoulder.
BLOWING OR THROWING
THE ASHES TO THE WINDS---(this is only if you have ashes from paper, no or
without any wax)----Blow in the direction of the target to curse or influence
them, love spells, prosperity spells, protection spells, healing spells.
Reason: This is a general all-purpose release of spell
work energy into the Universe.
THROWING INTO A FIRE—For
Curses, Banishment spells, Spells to release emotional pain
Reason: To
release negative circumstances, to deliver a curse or influence a person in an
unknown location.
Warning: If cursing it is recommended the fire is not
on your property or grounds, But be very careful, please practice fire safety,
remember only you can prevent wild fires and forest fires.
NOTE: Banishment spells refer to spell work where
the desired result is to remove and/or end either undesirable conditions,
circumstance, people or habits. When using
glass enclosed candles for all banishment work which would include curses if
you are unable to bury them in a grave yard dispose of it in an area where
there is no life or very little life exists, an abandoned property is useful. Do not put glass into areas where there is
life that is harmful to the environment.
Another method of disposing of glass enclosed candles is
healthy recycling where the glass will be melted down the fires of the furnace
will release the spell into the Universe and purify the glass slag for future
use without contamination of the spell.
When I use glass enclosed candles I separate the left over
workings, any paper or other residue I dispose of by any one of the standard
means as listed for free standing candles.
The glass is either recycled for positive spells or for negative spells
left on abandoned property or in some cases put in the trash cans at
cemeteries.
If you need to have the left overs buried on your property but you live in an apartment this is where having a large planter helps, to have it in the front area next to your door, if need to bury in an area that would be the back area of your apartment put a plant in the farthest back area of your apartment, but not near your kitchen. This works for wax and remains of free-standing and figure candles, for glass enclosed candles, use them to plant small plants in to bring something to you, and to banish then recycle it.
Please understand that some rituals require you to dispose of
your "ritual left-overs" in specific ways - burying them near your
front door if it's a rite meant to bring something to you, at a crossroads or
into running water to disperse something or hidden away to keep the magic
going, those spells will be specific.
Other spells or tricks
don't necessarily have a specific disposal method mentioned.
For these kinds of things, I remember both my Granny and
Mrs. Washington and Mrs. Rose would make their own "graveyard" , now
this was either a lidded basket or a lidded box which was lined with white cloth into which the left
over remains that didn’t have anything specific would be put into.
Then just before St. John’s Day (June 24th),
they’d tie up the ends of the cloth, making a bundle of this stuff and then
burn them in a big bonfire in an old bath tub in one of the ladies back yards
---back then folks could burn their trash or plant cuttings, not anymore.
To make this temporary graveyard you'll need:
A container of some kind, with a lid. Keep it near where you
do your workings
Get a White cloth, big enough to line the container and have
the four corners of it stick out of the container when the lid is on it that
way you don’t have to fuss find the 4 corners of the cloth.
Next you need to get graveyard dirt, now this is not taken
for a grave plot but from the cemetery itself, when you go to the cemetery or
graveyard knock on the gate or gate post that’s at it’s entrance, ask the Angel
of Death and those spirits that protect the cemetery if you can take some of
the cemetery dirt, ask them to bless the dirt so that it will keep the remains
of the workings in the container, the same way as a cemetery protects the
bodies of the people safe, collect the graveyard dirt in the normal way, leave
9 coins (pennies will do) and some candy.
Then sprinkle some of the dirt on the cloth that lines your
container just enough to cover the bottom, then close the lid. Now its ready to accept the left overs of
that spell workings that you don’t know how to dispose of.
Be careful with liquids, put them into a separate container
and into the graveyard box, when it’s full or even if it’s not full tie up the
bundle by the 4 corners of the cloth securely and burn it all on St. John’s day—June
24th.
And again practice fire safety when you do this.
But if you carefully think and meditate on how to dispose of
your remains you won’t have to do this graveyard container but I provide it to
you for your information.
ONE LAST NOTE:
Once you have completed your candle work the area where you burned your candles also needs to be cleaned both physically and spiritually. Some folks will use a white disposable cloth and Chinese wash to wash off the surface where the working was done, but Granny and her ladies would put a bit of Pine-Sol and some lemon juice into a small bucket of water, and use an old white wash cloth, I myself use lemon scented Pine-Sol and I always buy white wash cloths and towels, when they wear out for bathroom use they come in handy for other uses.
Once you do that then your area is ready for the next candle working, it has been cleared and will not be "contaminated" by any left over energies from the previous spell workings.
Once you do that then your area is ready for the next candle working, it has been cleared and will not be "contaminated" by any left over energies from the previous spell workings.
And that completes my series on THE ART OF CANDLE TALK.
As you go about doing your workings, you may come across
other methods of reading the candle and candle disposal, doing the workings is
like cooking or baking, there is a science and method in how it’s done, but
what works for a cake will not work for a pie, how one roasts a Pot Roast may
not work on a Leg of Lamb, the general
principals are the same but the methodology is different.
In time you’ll find what works best for you, I know what I’ve presented has worked for me,
my Grandmother and her ladies of her group.
But times have changed, things have changed, and people have to be more
careful.
Please keep that in mind.

I did a moving candle spell to bring an ex to me, the spell left A LOT OF melted wax. Everything is concrete where I live and there's no balcony to place plants, so burying under my doorstep or under a potted plant is impossible. I ended up putting the wax remains in a plastic bag under my bed, would that still draw him to me? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy Dear,
DeleteIt’s too bad that where you are there is no place to bury the left over wax, I would say then that putting it under your bed is a last resort, but it should be put into a brown paper bag, or wrapped in a cloth, something closer to being natural as oppose to a plastic baggie which is un-natural.
The plastic could cut off the energies needed to have it work.
Typically by burying it in the dirt at your home creates a grounding energy for the ritual to properly finish working, I cannot make guarantees that putting it under your bed would be effective, but certainly by taking it out of the plastic baggie and putting it into a paper bag or wrapping it in a piece of cloth would be far better and a bit more effective.
That is why living in an apartment complex that is just cement and/or without outdoor balconies, makes it difficult for some rituals to be effective, but we do have to adapt as best as we can.
Hopefully it will work by having it close to you that way, but you may have to repeat it, remember if after the 3rd time he does not respond to you, then something is blocking it. That is where you may need to re-think what ritual to do.

Hello I buried another red candle today asking forgivener from my ex fiancé so that all of his anger and negative emotions towards releive. The fire from the candle are stable though it is dancing a bit. While the candle melting it was creating 5 lines facing to each other. I supposed the first line is a girl and it has a shaped heart in her chest and there is another line that is attached in the shaped heart seems kissing the heart. The first line which is the girl is facing to an another line which is I aasumed that it is a man but the man is not facing to her. It is facing to another line which i assumed that it is a girl line and at the back of the girl there's another line which I cannot identify if it is a boy or girl.the four lines (girl & boy) are connected to each other. Please somebody help me to explain this
ReplyDelete
DeleteDear Belle,
You are making the mistake of assuming that those are boy and girl lines, when they could be just lines representing something else, I am assuming that you are the one who broke off the engagement and now he is angry at you.
So why are you asking for forgiveness from him, you must have had a very good reason to break off with him, something inside you told you that it would not work out, his anger and negative emotions towards you tells me that his temperament is uncompromising, nor understanding. It might have been a good thing that you broke up with him.
Although the flame is strong it is dancing because it’s trying to break through his negativity, I feel that you should not have burnt a red candle but a blue one to calm his anger, Red is for fiery passion, not a good choice.
So let’s look at the lines, a single line shows direction and progress from one place to another, or from one state or condition to another. Lines, to be favorable in import, should be straight and well defined, not crooked, blurred, or broken. Double lines show roads and Journeys. Cross lines show important junctures and indecisions. Curved lines denote affections overcoming reason.
So there is a line crossing from one line to the heart in the other line that means everything is up in the air, he is still angry and cannot make up his mind about things. But with multiple lines this means a journey for you and for him, your paths may go in different directions. It is possible that you are too young to make the commitment for marriage right now, if you are still going to school or college complete your education first, find a career that is fulfilling for you, learn what it is truly like to be independent, then you will find a man who will love you and be emotionally stable for you.
Burn another candle a blue one for your ex-fiancé to find peace in his mind and heart. Then note how the flame burns and how the wax melts. And let me know.
Bright Blessings,
Ms. Q
Hi Ms. VooDoo Queen,
ReplyDeleteFirst off I want to thank you for being a wonderful person and giving back to the people by educating and advising them in their spiritual needs and/or journey.
I would love to stay connected with you.
How can you be personally contacted? ❤🌎
Hello Carla,
DeleteI'm sorry but I no longer give out my personal e-mail, especially after someone sent a virus into my computer system---it was so bad I had to trash it and buy a new one.
Some people set up to be followers to receive information about when I post an article. That might be the easiest way.
And what they do is post a question or comment among some of my postings.
I do want to advise you that sometimes if I get a question that looks like it will require a very extensive answer, then what I will do it post the question (but not your name) and write a full article about it.
I do that because I know more than one person will have that same question.
Other times I will respond as a reply in the comment section where you posted your question.
And I do admit my view points will be different compared to others based on their teachings and training.
Another thing that I recommend is to print out my postings, including the comments as well, so that you will have hard copy, that way it will be easier to refer to and you don't have to strain your eyes reading it on a smart phone.
By having it printed out and in a binder you can refer to it at any time.
And thank you for your kind complements, I do the best I can.
Bright Blessings,
Ms. Q
I performed a road opener to bring someone back into my life that I miss dearly. My road opener candle burned out leaving no wax behind but my black candle left be a small puddle of wax. Also the flame (on the black candle)jumped throughout the ritual. I followed a road opener that I saw on YouTube. I can't make out any kind of shape in the wax. I'm going to perform this two more day
ReplyDeleteHello Noonie,
DeleteI’m presuming that you can’t make out any kind of shape in the wax of the black candle, if you’re burning a road opener candle to clear the path to have that someone back into your life, why are you also burning, in addition, a black candle, what was its purpose?
The flame jumping on your black candle indicates that spiritual warfare might be occurring on your behalf, especially if this is a war-type candle, this would be if it’s a situation.
But if it’s a person then it’s possible the person you’re trying to affect is fighting back on a spiritual level or that person’s guardian spirits or angels is working hard to protect them, that is if this candle is being used to affect another person.
The fact that your Road Opener candle burned out without leaving any wax residue indicates that the work went well, you do not say if this was a glass enclosed candle or a free standing candle, if it was glass enclosed was there any soot or burn marks inside the glass?
If it burned clean again that is an indication that the work went well.
But the action of the flame on the black candle may indicate that there is something fighting back.
Again I need to ask what was the black candle for?
Was this part of the ritual that you saw on You Tube?
Let me know how the rest of the ritual develops.
Bright Blessings,
Ms. Q
Thank you for your response. Yes, the black candle was part of a youtube video I saw that instructed I use a orange and black candle for three days. Also, I use free standing candles. I've been doing a road opener for three days straight. Each day the result is different. First day the black candles flame kept jumping for an hour then went calm, the road opener caught the petition on fire and the fire didn't want to go out when I tried repeatedly to put it out. Then last night the whole plate caught on fire and it cracked. Nothing was left. No wax or anything. I'm going to see what tonight has in store.
ReplyDeleteDear Noonie,
DeleteYIKES!!!
The petition caught on fire and didn’t want to go out, and then the next night the whole plate caught on fire and cracked!!??
My advice if that should happen again is to have two open boxes of baking soda to smother out the flames, do not use water, unless it’s a last resort.
I have used baking soda myself and so had Granny when something was getting out of control and that is what happened.
Whew!!
I hope you were not hurt.
As a matter of fact it may be wise to keep an open box of baking soda near where you do your candle spell work Just In Case.
But the fact that your petition caught fire and the next night the plate did catch fire and it broke means you need to be very careful!
It could mean that either someone is attacking you or the person you are targeting is protected from your influence and the spell has been reflected back at you.
Be very, Very careful, because something is up.
Getting back to the flame on the black candle if you are sure there was no draft then for that first hour there was some resistance against your spell workings.
Should this happen again observe how high the flame is jumping because the higher the jumping flame, the more resistance in the spell workings.
If you were or are directing the spell to clear negativity so that your other spell could work towards the person you’re interested in, that person or their guardian spirits could be picking up on it and working against it, whether that person is conscious of it or not.
I would advise that you put a white light of protection around you to be on the safe side.
Not knowing the full story something is powerfully working to resist your workings, so be careful.
Bright Blessings,
Ms. Q
One other thought Noonie,
DeleteIf the wax was completely consumed but in a fiery conflagration and the plate cracked, it could mean that those spirits know who you are and what you are trying to do.
Be careful and take steps to protect yourself, both spiritually and in the mundane world.
Bright Blessings,
Ms. Q
Oh yea, the youtube video said the black candle was to clear out any negativity that was blocking the way.
ReplyDeleteDear Noonie,
DeleteThat is interesting, and in a way it makes sense, did you use a banishing oil on the black candle to banish any negativity?
Bright Blessings,
Ms. Q
Ok "UPDATE", each day I did my road opener a new person that I had been thinking about before, contacted me. The last night of me doing the road opener I had no problem. The black candle burned the highest and longest. It set my petition on fire but the fire was very calm and beautiful. The next morning my crush(but not the person I did the road opener for) came over. We didn't do anything sexual at all but I feel like they're opening up to me more. It seems like everyone EXCEPT the one I worked for is coming around.🙄
ReplyDeleteDear Noonie,
DeleteI hope you’re not complaining, because it’s possible that the Divine Presence and your guides maybe preferring that to happen to you and is that so bad?
It’s possible they took a look at your petition and decided “Nope, that’s Not how it’s going to work out” if nothing else maybe your own soul is opening up to the love that is around you and others are sensing it and are coming around, perhaps because you desired the one who suddenly left you so much that you closed your own “road” so to speak, and now that block and negativity has been removed.
I’d like you to think on that as you do your ritual, meditate upon that possibility.
Continue your work, but also keep that box of baking soda close by, I do worry about flames that are uncontrolled.
Bright Blessings,
Ms. Q
Ok so long story short. The reason for my road opener is because I had a person that I was very close to for 4 years that I loved and all of a sudden I woke one morning and I was blocked from everything. No communication no reason. We haven't spoken in two years and I miss them dearly. That's why I tried the road opener spell. To bring them back. I hope that gives you a better understanding.
ReplyDeleteDear Noonie,
DeleteWell that does explain things, and I can understand you missing this person, but for some reason this person has decided to block you and I’m presuming that this is through the various forms of social media as well as spiritually.
I wanted to see why this person has blocked you so I drew a card from Tarot and it is the Knight of Cups, but reversed.
This is the dark essence of water, in a way you think you know them, love them etc. and then Poof!! They are gone this card does indicate a rapidly shifting mood on this person’s part, and they may have been deceptive with you, it seems that with that behavior that in some ways they are behaving in a selfish, and immature manner, it is possible that they met someone who swept them off their feet, which can cumulate in misguided idealism divorced from practicality and be involved in a destructive romantic passion and it created an infidelity situation so they just decided to cut ties abruptly.
The question is will doing Road Opener work re-establish a link between the two of you, if so be prepared to encounter a person who may be different than whom you knew before.
Also read and meditate on my thoughts in my reply to your previous post. There is a lot happening here.
Bright Blessings,
Ms. Q
