I blow as I feel I'm adding my essence to it. I'm an Air sign and feel my work strongly in words and breath 🌪️

I push the wick into the wax so it doesn't release smoke. Mostly for sensory reasons but also I like to keep the essence of the ritual or spell within the candle to use next time. Smoke seems like a leaking of it which is a waste (for me).

I’m a super newb here but I love the feeling of blowing out my candles after meditating as a way of letting my breath carry my intentions out into the universe. As a recovering evangelical, I have a hard time with jumping into anything with hard and fast rules and try to use intention and my heart to lead.

I feel like it’s a working with the flame too. The flame often has a “job” and sometimes my breath is like a thank you and a kiss goodbye. Sometimes, it’s a transformation, like turning the flame to smoke, but it’s a team effort with my breath. Other times, the flame is meant to burn out on its own with me witnessing it. To me, the flame will let you know 🤍

Love this! I used to get so tripped up by doing things “the right way.” Now I just go with my intuition and intention.

Ahh. The age old debate. Same as it was when I started my practice 20 years ago. Good to see that the more things change the more they stay the same. This is the most sane answer I've ever seen!

I’ve always just done whatever feels comes natural to me, like blowing out candles without much thought behind it, but this made me pause. Thank you for bringing a mindfulness to such a small yet impactful action. I’m gonna reflect about this; I’m such a beginner in all things and I don’t have anyone to guide me, so I appreciate you sharing your practice. 🖤💙💚

So interesting - thank you ☺️I’ve never thought of preparing incense in bulk with breath and speaking intention!

is not blowing out a candle a wiccan thing? I feel like a lot of "hard rules" that people seem to care a lot about are from wicca (like three fold law/not doing baneful work)

I use blowing out a candle etc. as activation as breathing my energy into the spell or what ever I'm doing.
like blowing out an offering candle I may say "With the breath, I thank you" 🫣 - It's just what feels natural to me
