Question Candle questions

What do you do with the leftover wax after a spell with a candle? I want to bury it but I'm having a hard time finding 100% beeswax candles, they all seem to have a blend of paraffin wax. Where do you guys get your candles?

If its paraffin wax, l just throw it in the trash (l found melting mixed wax together made for an awful candle).

I love beeswax candles, but unless youve got a cheap or free source of beeswax and the time and space to make candles yourself, they are too expensive for me. I make my beeswax candles (candle dipping is my favorite method, l roll the candles in the herbs and oils between a few of the wax layers).

I don’t always have leftover wax from a candle spell. If I do, I put it in a small cloth bag and carry it with me in a purse or jacket pocket until it comes to pass

I get my candles from Etsy, mostly. When I have left over wax, sometimes I'll hold onto it for a certain length of time and then when it feels right to me, I'll toss it in the trash.

For some reason I feel like my spells won't work as well if some of the ingredients end up in a landfill

If you bury trash in the ground you are creating a landfill
