"The reasons people used to go to cunning folk in the past are the same as the reasons people come to me now. Relationships, jobs, money, health. People often ask me to cleanse their homes of psychic debris. One of the most common things I get asked to do is to remove curses, but no one ever asks me for anything ridiculous. It's pastoral work, just like the vicar, really."Modify your rituals and spells so they are shorter. Instead of waiting for the candle to burn all the way, finish your ritual when you feel confident to do so (for instance, clap your hands or ring a bell to indicate sending the energies on its way), then blow out the candle, cut off the parts that you used or carved, and throw it away or bury it. Once you have cast a spell, there’s no need to re-cast it again because the results will appear when it’s time. Remember: the harder the goal, the longer it will take.

Cleanse yourself and your ritual space, and abandon the working until you have more information. You’ll find many spiritual practitioners prefer to burn a candle down entirely for the spell or intention to release and be complete fully. Due to this, they’ll often buy smaller candles.
