There is actually a book called Feral Sorcery. The idea is to use your self reliance and creativity as driving factors of how to get ritual things done.
So today I had a feral sorcery moment.
Let me tell you, the biggest pain in the ass are using birthday candle tees, because two out of ten times you will have to throw the candle away because it snaps in half while trying to cram it into the tee. Then you have spell candles which dont fit on a tee, not do tapers. The only other candles I have are about a hundred white tealights.
So how oh how am I supposed to let a candle burn all the way (this may be dangerous with bubble gum, bubble gum can flame up and catch fire)?
1. Clay
2. Putty
3. Bubble gum thats used and dried
Clay is good but takes time to Harden. Putty is good but not as moldable as clay. Bubble gum can be used, bit how to use the gum or clay?
CVS: Front register Bubble Yum Tape roll
CVS: Office Supplies: Push pins for something else (Enochian Watchtower tablets), Mounting putty strips
CVS: School Supplies area: Clay bucket with molds and tools included.
So now what? How oh how will I fit these different circumference candles into a hole of that size, unlike tees, and how do I keep it deep enough yet firm enough to not snap candles in half upon entry?
Step 1: Recycle your used tealight candle
Take a steak knife, sewing needle, or tweezers, and either pull by the wick with one hand while firmly gripping the tin in the other hand, pull directly up in a quick motion. You may find this does not work. Fear not. Gently with a flat tip tool, pry a little the tin edge from the candle edge. Try to pluck the candle out or push it out from the bottom.
Readjust tin base to be flat, using a quarter a flat surface and pressure might do the trick.
Have some bubble gum, or get some putty or clay. I will try all three methods starting with gum.
While chewing your gum, get some candle oil, and oil the candle base. Wash and dry your hands.
With the used tealight block, turn upside down and remove wick assembly.
Place used wax in a collection tin to later make wax by recycling the old.
Place chewed gum, clay or putty in tin. Ideally fill tin halfway with any.
Place new candle flat in the gum/putty/clay
Allow to Harden. Carefully remove candle, the hole should remain in place as the gum hardens.
Step two: Use a suitable container to use clay with.
Gotta say, the tealight steps are pretty solid no matter the medium.
Step 3: Use mounting putty

Ideally, I would create several, in case you need candles at each quarter and one on the altar, etc.
