Candle magic is an ancient form of manifesting, wish fulfillment, and empowering intentions to make them a reality. It involves using candles and incense to create a spell, which can be done in various ways after a spell. Some common ways to dispose of leftover candles include burying them, throwing them away, melting them down, or reshaping them.
Burying candles is a long-held tradition among those who practice spells. Throwing them away is possible, but it’s important not to throw them in the trash can as this can cause energy from the candles. Once the flame is out, disposing of the remnants is crucial. Some options include burying them in your garden, placing them in a potted plant, or throwing them into running water. Before reusing any tools, cleanse them to clear them.
Candle magic is a powerful tool for focusing energy, setting intentions, and manifesting outcomes. Techniques employed include charging and dressing candles with wax. Even the most common of spells can leave behind candle stubs, offerings, petition papers, and other things that need to be taken care of. After a spell, the remains of the candle spell can be used to make a magical talisman from the candle wax. If there’s enough wax chunk, it can be kept and reused by melting it down to use as a glue for dressing the candles.
To do candle magic, clarify your intention: what do you want to manifest? Speak, sing, or chant your desire before lighting the candle. Candle magick is an ancient form of manifesting, wish fulfillment, and empowering intentions to make them a reality and bring focus to your goals. By recycling bits of wax left over from old candles, you can honor the traditions of the wheel of the witch.

What to do with a burned out candle?
It is recommended that a scented candle be used when it has reached the end of its useful life in order to make the most of the remaining wax in an environmentally friendly manner. In lieu of discarding the scented candle, the remaining wax should be extracted from the jar, a method of reuse identified, the jar washed, and the jar subsequently recycled. This practice not only conserves the wax but also benefits the environment by reducing the waste of high-quality wax and the necessity for new candles.
What powers a candle?
A candle burns by using a heat source, typically a naked flame, to light the wick, which melts and vaporizes a small amount of wax. This wax combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to ignite and form a constant flame. This flame provides enough heat to keep the candle burning through a self-sustaining chain of events. As the wax is melted and burned, the candle becomes shorter, and the end of the plaited wick bends and gets consumed in the flame. The incineration of the wick limits the exposed portion of the wick, maintaining a constant burning temperature and fuel consumption rate.
Pre-19th-century wicks required regular trimming to promote steady burning and prevent black smoke release. In the 20th century, special candle scissors called “snuffers” were produced to prevent this. Modern candles have wicks that curve over as they burn, ensuring that the end of the wick gets incinerated by fire, thereby trimming itself. A candle flame is formed by wax vaporizing on burning and is widely recognized to have between three and five regions or “zones”.
What to do with candles when the wick is gone?
In case the wick is broken and cannot be reused, consider using twine or tightly rolled-up newspaper as makeshift alternatives. Use an apple corer device to loosen the old wick and insert the new wick through the hole in the wax plug. Another option is threading a new store-bought wick in the hole where the wick broke off deep into the candle. This should allow the candle to burn to the point of the old wick, which may require scraping away wax to light the old wick.
Ensure the new wick is at the correct length to avoid premature performance problems, such as a weak flame, inability to create or maintain a wax pool, a flooded or drowned wick, and poor fragrance performance. Lighting the candle for at least 30 minutes is recommended to avoid a pool of melted wax that builds excess wax on the side of the jar and bury the short wick. If everything is burning evenly, let the candle burn all the way to the edges before blowing out.

When should you throw away a candle?
When it’s time to replace your candle, it’s important to dispose of it when only half an inch of wax remains. Burning longer can overheat the candle and create a safety hazard. The best candles have a safety clip at the bottom that automatically self-extinguishes the flame. Candles do not expire, but when stored properly, they can be burned at any time. Even if the scent seems to have lost, the fragrance is still present, as only the outermost layer or “skin” of the candle has lost its scent. Scratch off the outer surface to find the full amount of fragrance on the inside. Many candles come in beautifully designed vessels that can be kept and repurposed.
Can you throw away candle wicks?
Used wicks can be disposed of in refuse bins, while metal sustainers can be cleaned and placed in mixed recycling bins.

Waste fragrance-free candle wax can be placed in compost, which takes about two months to break down.
When should you throw out candles?
To prevent heat damage to your candle, stop burning after only 1/4″ of wax is left in the glass. After consuming most of the wax, the flame will heat the container, making the bottom hot. Repurpose your candle vessel after use and follow instructions on removing wax. Candles may sweat due to the fragrance being loaded, but this is normal. The naturally derived ingredients in the formula can cause the wax to change colors with light or temperature changes. If you have trouble removing the remaining wax, refer to the guide on repurposing your candle vessel.

Hi. Great article. I seen a article from another witch and she cast tons of spells for ppl and just couldn’t hold on to the remains of tons of ppl. So she insist if we can’t bury the remains and don’t want to hold on to it, we can release the energy from the remains out into the universe to continue its work. After that the remains are just remains..
I did my first black candle spell with salt/sage at the base. The candle burned right down but the Wick flame spread to the herbs instead of going out. I dropped a little water around it and the water essentially snuffed it all out. I have no idea if this was ok. Or it all went to waste. Would you be able to give your view. I’m a little gutted about it tbh lol
I did a prosperity spell with my ex but we aren’t together now. I want to cancel the spell but not undo it if that makes sense. I appreciate the benefits it brought me but I no longer want to put my energy into bringing abundance to my ex. It’s a jar spell that I have recharged. So my fear is by discarding it improperly it might reverse the luck. I want to release it with gratitude. Is the trash can appropriate?
