There can be quite a bit of argument around the topic of blowing out or snuffing a candle. Which should you do? Some, maybe even most, say it is better to snuff the candle, as blowing it out is blowing away the intention, the energy, the will, the magic. Others say it is snuffing that is the bad idea, as it snuffs out the energy, keeps it trapped in one place and like the snuffers say blowing does, it all around dissipates the energy. So who is right? Whoever you think. Honestly, I think as long as you properly raised and released your energy, things should be fine and there shouldn�t be too much anxiety or worry about something as trivial as how to put out a candle. Personally, however, I chose to blow out my candles as I have had the habit since I was a small child of blowing my prayers into the Heavens. I would pray at night with my hands in prayer position, and when I was done, I would open my hands and blow the prayer up to God so He would receive it. I suppose I brought that same idea into my Wiccan practices then, as I also see the smoke that floats into the air after blowing out a candle as carrying my intention to Spirit to be heard and hopefully fulfilled. Whatever you are comfortable with and feel is effective is what you should do however. Does it even matter to you? Think on it a bit, but not too much, and decide for yourself. |
