Is there a correct way to light and extinguish a ritual candle?
It’s all personal preference of course, but I use a specially anointed white candle to light all others. When I’m done, I either allow the ritual candle to burn itself out or I use a snuffer. It depends on the spell or ritual the candle was used in. What I never do is blow the candle out. In my practice, it’s something of an affront to the spirits of the South to do that.
