I was directed from the tutorials section to here with a basic question.
As a total newbie, I have done a few very basic candle rituals. I definitely attempt to listen to my instincts and intentions, but I'm never sure what's appropriate in terms of ending the candle ritual.
Is it best to:
A - Continue to concentrate and focus intentions until the candle completely burns out on its own. (This can be tricky with larger prayer candles that can burn for days if you let them).
B - Stop the ritual when you feel it best to stop and let the candle burn until it goes out on its own.
C - Stop the ritual when you feel its best to stop and gently put out the candle when you feel its best to do so?
D - Is there a standard or more magical way to end the ritual?
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
Someone had mentioned in this previous post that they used shorter candles like birthday candles to decrease the wait time, but that feels almost like a loop hole to me, personally.
