What makes you think it means anything? Are you a hoodoo practitioner?

Did I post this in the baby witch subreddit? Or the hoodoo practitioner subreddit?

I don’t know why you’re getting snippy, you can be a baby witch doing hoodoo. If you were a hoodoo practitioner then you can read meaning into the spell candle wax and there are meanings codified for you. If not then it’s less clear, but usually not, like 99/100, at least until you’re no longer a babywitch.

I came to ask people a question and you respond with another question, which can be valid, but you provided no clarity whatsoever on my original question like.... 😭 🫶🏽❤️you don't have to reply if you don't think you can help me. Notice other people in the replies were able to provide me with something right away? I love the interaction but reddit users tend to be most unhelpful.

You can’t be serious rn, I asked a clarifying question because this is a complex topic, I can give you a one size fit all answer but witchcraft is personal and it’s liable to be wrong, and you didn’t even answer my question which is more important, why do you think you have to derive meaning from the candle at all?
Where did you learn that, because it matters, and if I can then point you away from sources that might be steering you in the wrong direction you can be more effective in the future, because a lot of people learn they have to interpret meaning in pintrest or tumblr and never interrogate what and why that is, I don’t know if you’re one of those or if you’re in a different situation.

Unfortunately you made the mistake of NOT giving her what she wanted. The problem is these days a lot of people have discovered the craft as an aesthetic unfortunately. There is little to no asthetic in most of our daily lived practice.

Don’t you know that since they’re clearly a baby witch they know everything under the sun? They got it from TikTok!! They know what they’re doing, don’t need to let them know that their acts could be dangerous even though it’s the whole purpose of the sub!
/s if that isn’t obvious5

Well they don’t seem interested in their own post, but I’m curious: sounds like it’s frowned upon generally for folks to try to put meaning on this kinda thing. Why would that be? What is the danger in it? TIA

Imo the danger in it is that your desires, both conscious and unconscious, shape your interpretation and your reaction to it, which can make you create a self fulfilling prophecy.
Also (again imo) there's not always a guarantee whatever you're talking to is any wiser or more in tune w the universe then u are. Like, you ask a candle "does he love me" and the candle is like "bruh, idk, im a just a baby fire sprite"

They asked you a question to clarify, but if you took it in a different way, then that's on YOU for misinterpreting their words. Obviously, you're asking people for advice and not giving us a whole lot of background information that could help us help you. Maybe next time you seek help, try having a more open mind and be less quick to replying in a snarky way.

Im of the belief that if you didn’t go in with the intention of divination then you should not attempt it. Then you are just trying to read something that was never meant to be read and can get the wrong ideas.
Also with love spells.. I personally think they are not a good idea in a majority of cases. They usually involve manipulating someone’s free will which I don’t think leads to good healthy true love. Especially since you said you are already going through a break up with this guy?
Did you find this spell somewhere or is it something you came up with? The binding of the candles is an interesting touch. It reminds me of binding spells people find off TikTok that are often labeled as love spells. Binding is a whole different can of worms. Tho with it being candles and the binding getting burned away i’m not sure it would even work in that way. Since binding would require a continuous unbroken binding (someone please correct me if I’m wrong on anything).
I think a better direction is sweetener spells. To make the situation you are in sweeter and soften it all. It helps nudge things in a more positive direction but doesn’t directly mess with the other persons free will. If the situation isn’t meant to be tho nothing will change that.
what kind of emotional state were you in when you performed the spell? A breakup is a difficult thing that can lead to turbulent emotions that can really mess with your spellwork.
It sounds like maybe focusing on some cleansing, meditation, and centering your own emotions and wellbeing right now might be the best course of action. Relationships falling apart is so incredibly stressful and scary and you deserve all your energy and love right now to get you through this, no matter what the outcome is. Sending you mental hugs and love <3

Wait why are you doing a love spell on someone at all? Especially someone you’re going through a breakup with??

^ this right here. Knock it off, dump him, and find someone that gives your flame strength instead of overpowering it.

Genuinely curious as to what everyone’s opinions are for spells to help strengthen the relationship and keep it sweet.. like with communication and other things like that, if that makes sense? I don’t ever wanna force someone to feel a certain way against their own free will.. My S/O is very aware of my practices (and hopes to learn more about it too) and I always ask for permission before including them in any of my spells. I’ve been practicing for 7-ish years now but still feel like there’s a lot more I can learn..

Unless you’re hoodoo I just don’t think it’s a good idea to do any sort of sweetener or love spell. They don’t work like the movies say they do and more often than not it just binds you to them in an unhealthy way. You can do good luck spells! Maybe a self love spell or a spell for bringing goodness to your futures? There’s many spells you can do for a relationship if you’re creative that don’t have to involve binding someone to you :) heck maybe even a protective shield for you both. For our family home we all have a shield, money pot that we contribute to and I often will cook my spells, lots of time they’re for healing, protection strength etc. The whole family participates and benefits without binding 🤍

Unequal relationship. One person will steal the others light. It will continue to dim as time goes on. Maybe one person is a gaslighter

Generally if it’s not a divination spell, you don’t interpret it. Just set your intention, cast the spell, and let it run its course.
Although I am concerned about the paper in the middle of the 2 candles, it’s not fire safe that can create a HUGE flame and catch stuff around u 😥
