#candle safety

[katthekonqueror]

Reddit pagans are bonkers. Motherfuckers will post shit like "I did a ritual with a lit candle and a bottle of hairspray, and my table cloth caught fire. Is this a sign?"

[elminx]

ooof, I have a few stories.

Witches will be like "my spell candle did something weird!!! Is this a sign????" And they'll show you the before and after pics for reference and.

By god in the first picture, the candle is loaded with plastic glitter and too many herbs all around the wick and a thick sheen of vegetable oil and essential oils. And the second picture is a shattered glass plate and wax absolutely everywhere and scorch marks on the table and.

Babes that isn't "weird" and the only "sign" here is that you have no concept of candle safety!!!!

Rant on fire safety

While absolutely gorgeous, I HATE this trend of "aesthetic candles". This is from a local witch shop, that sells these candles. Look at it! It's an absolute fire hazard. A plastic flower molten into the wax. You should not have plastic anywhere near a candle flame. Look at the glitter. Guess what? ALSO PLASTIC.

At best it's gonna smell horrendous, because molten plastic stinks. But burn enough of these candles and you're likely to give yourself cancer. Yes, you read that right. Do no inhale fumes of molten plastic!

Stop making candles with materials that shouldn't be burnt! ffs

Exactly this

My little incident pales in comparison but please learn from us and our mistakes, fire is beautiful and useful but also dangerous

I wanna talk about fire safety bc I almost burnt my house down the other day.

Witches/pagans/anyone who enjoys an open flame:

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE practice fire safety. Don’t be like me. The other day I lit a spell candle and it wasn’t finished burning before I had to go to work. I naively told myself “it only has an hour left to burn and it burned all night fine I can leave it and go to work”.

Not only was that candle not fine, it was so not fine that it broke the ceramic dish I had it on, and fell onto the floor which left a sizable scorch mark. After further investigation I found that it had also burned a part of my pillow case which was on the floor.

That’s how close I came to burning my house down. It’s only by the grace of the gods that nothing more serious happened.

So please, don’t be like me, and practice fire safety. 🔥🔥

Imaginary Book Cover huehuehue

Of @noir-renard 's If You Give A Bat A Burger

(tap for better quality :)

markers and color pencils, the basics works the best.

I thought about toning down the colors (or just straight up leave it the way it is) of our resident fully-dead ghosts, but I couldn't resist adding the pink hair & boxing gloves Angela deserves ;)

there are two Yoricks in this btw

Here's your daily reminder not to leave your candles unattended when lit.

Practice fire safety y'all

Beauty: 10/10

Fire safety: 0/10

Posting this because I keep seeing people in the witchcraft community who don't understand that the reason you have a tall, smoky flame is because you let the wick get too long.

Hanukkah. Fifth Night.

Tonight I hope for peace, for freedom, for compassion, for health, and for safe harbour for us all.

I write for what I hope and not for what I wish because the candles in the menorah are reminders and lack even the small magic of birthday candles. They remind us of the costs of oppression and of being oppressed, that miracles, at least sometimes, must be earned. So I do not make wishes on them. But I allow them to inculcate hope, especially the hope that I can find ways to make the world a better place.

Chag sameach, everyone!

I don’t think of myself as a fire unsafe person, and to experiment with oil lamps I got this $10 stock pot to help mitigate risk. But it just makes me feel more secure about regular candles, too.

And think of the cauldron symbolism opportunities.

plEASE I just sat in front of this woman on the bus who was ranting transphobically about some celebrity which then segued into "gay people don't DESERVE a special week just for being gay" (you are wrong about what Pride is and also how long it lasts!) and then burbled happily about how fun it was to light the menorah at her church's "Hanukkah mass" because of COURSE she would celebrate Hanukkah because it is about the BEAUTIFUL LIGHT OF GOD and nothing else. Nothing else. Just like Pride is about gay people feeling special and NOTHING ELSE NONE OF THESE HOLIDAYS IS ABOUT MINORITY RESISTANCE TO VIOLENCE OR PEOPLE REFUSING TO ASSIMILATE, OH NO! ONE OF THEM IS ABOUT LIGHT AND THE OTHER IS ABOUT WOKE.
