People often ask me what I do with wax left from burning candles for spells, rituals or divination. Well, because I like to be as sustainable as possible, I save the wax and when I've got enough I make a new candle or two!
A lot of tealight candles get left behind by people who attend my practical magic workshops, and I don't let these go to waste either. In the picture above you can see two candles I made this week by upcycling the wax. I melted all the little bits and added some Winter Spice scent.
I stirred the pot clockwise, or sunwise, and made a wish that all my students' hopes and dreams would come true. The containers that I poured the wax into are also upcycled as they previously had candles in them. The only new bits were the wicks and the scent.
You can see a photo of the candles I made at the top. They will go on my Yule altar. As I light them I will visualise the magical energy from them flowing into the universe to help manifest everyone's desires.
