Alright, let me explain something about my altar. I have three main candles that have been blessed and have sigils for their specific purposes.
My guardian candle for all spells or magical workings
My glamour magic candle for my makeup
My Sabbat candle for all sabbats
These are my pillars.
My familiars are cats, and I was lucky to find these two wonderful glass votive holders that are sleeping cats. I put these on my tray for my pillars and my cleansing materials as ‘mini’ guardians. A ward for my pillars as they are working their designated protection magic.
My votives finally burned out. So I removed the wax, washed and re-cleansed the little cats. I took two votives, added them, blessed everything and did some meditational magic. All beautiful workings for a quiet spring evening before a winter storm.
Then… there’s my dumbass. I took a third votive and added it to a wax melter. Thinking ‘oh this will work longer than a tea light.’ Well it did not! At all! Within an hour it melted itself entirely and got wax all over the melter that I will now have to clean. So logically it was the combination of the melter itself and the flame that caused it to burn to fast compared to the others… but my witchy brain is also saying ‘got it you like being the wards. Duly noted.. not for wax melting’. So that was my oh shit moment of the day! Stay tuned for more! ✨
