I recently performed a cord cutting ritual and it went really sideways. Both of my candles melted completely, the cord I was using is destroyed, yet the wicks are still burning! Everything around is covered in wax, but there's still fire. To make matters worse, the plate I used for the ritual broke clean in half. What should I do in this situation?

It’s easy to get caught up in trends from social media, but this cord burning thing is a bit overhyped. Planning is key; using appropriate materials and having a fire safety plan in place would’ve helped avoid this mess. Just a reminder to keep things safe so no one gets hurt!
You’re in control of your spell. If you don't need those candles lit anymore, just snuff them out. And do look into using fireproof trays or containers next time. The way some folks use fire in cord cutting recently seems off, especially when it's supposed to be about cutting ties, not just burning stuff for show.
It sounds like things got a bit out of hand! Just a heads up, a lot of people think of cord cutting as more of a visualization technique rather than a fire-based ritual. The whole candle method has really taken off on social media, but it's not the safest way to do it. As for the plate breaking, that likely happened due to thermal shock since it wasn't made to handle direct flames or high heat. I'd recommend being really careful with fire safety in the future!
Congrats on learning a valuable lesson about fire safety! Rituals can carry different meanings – cutting ties can be quick and intense, while changes are often more gradual. After a cord cutting, it's usually best not to dwell on it, as it might show you're uncertain about your intention. If there’s ever a fire risk, feel free to put out the candle; snuffing it or blowing it out both work!
When it comes to wax, it actually acts as a fuel, so as long as you have that wax, a wick, and air, the flame will keep going. Make sure to always keep an eye on burning items and consider extinguishing flames if things look dangerous. Fire safety is crucial!
Right? I don't get why people are turning it into a divination tool when the point is to let go, not read it afterward.
