The very last thing I will say about it today, is that if you know you're using not-fire-safe candle holders or fire bowls, and you don't care and don't intend to stop, you can still mitigate risk.
You can still follow all the rest of the fire safety advice... not burning near fabrics, not letting things nearby get hot, minimum clearance to all walls, overhanging shelves, surfaces, and objects; having a fire extinguisher on hand, burning things on top of a deep tray of sand, never leaving flames unattended, etc...
For god's sake at have a clear plan for what to do when a fire loses containment.
It is wild to me that the people who are not using fire safe candleholders or firebowls are often also the same people that set shit on fire right next to wooden stuff and paper sigils, let fires get out of control in untempered glass containers, burn underneath shelves, leave burn rings on wooden furniture, don't have a concept of ventilation, using synthetic fabric altar cloths that will start smoking the second an incense ember falls on them, etc.
It's not like you have to say, "well I'm not buying a fire-safe candle holder so oh well, it is what it is :)"
If you know you're already doing something dangerous and you don't intend to stop there is still a spectrum of responsibility and it is your personal choice where you stand on it.
Like nobody is forcing you to tempt fate, you know?

Me: "hey ancestors wtf should I do now"
The 4000 year old bronze age woman with my eyes who lives in my head: "eat a fruit"
Me: "thanks but I meant about" (waves at the state of everything)
Urmother: "perhaps set something on fire?"
Me: "now we're talking"

succumbed to the 500-page 90s wicca book I found on the free shelf while out in town today, brought it home
I am delighted to report that it includes a Charge of the Goddess intended to be sung over a karaoke cassette recording of "The Music of the Night" from the Phantom of the Opera

it's not a substance abuse problem if it's a sacrament, ohkay?. grannie's not "getting fucked up tweaking hard off The Flowerbed." ohkay. she's doing a spiritual sacrament. She is undertaking the Green Journey of the Cultus of The Great Plow if you even care. She is In Congress With The Spirit of The Wood. She is spirit journeying to The Green Meadow Of the Crooked Goat To Accrue Gnosis of The Viridian Sorcerous Path. She is Toxicum Adeptus alright she's not a "salvia tweaker." and she is definitely not "Shroomed off her gourd". ohkay? Stop saying shit like "grannie's always fuckin turnt off the spicerack". and "straight zooted on the morning glories again" and "microdosing the garden like she does". Kids these days. No Fucking Respect.
