Question

Can a Love Binding Spell Still Work If I Had to Extinguish It?

Asked by Moonlight_Sparkle
I attempted a love binding spell with a boy I feel a strong romantic connection to. The candles burned fine for most of the ritual, but as we neared the end, the flames became unusually large—almost the size of my arm! It set off my smoke alarms, and in panic, I had to put the fire out. I left about an inch of wax in the candles before extinguishing them. Do you think the spell will still work despite this interruption?

Honestly, if you had to put it out, that might leave you feeling like it’s unfinished. Safety is paramount, and though I wouldn’t say you did anything wrong, just take this as a learning experience. Consider checking with your oracle or using a different method next time!

Yikes! I’ve heard similar stories about witchcraft-related fires going horribly wrong. Definitely be super careful with candles! While I get wanting to see signs in everything, huge flames could just be a safety warning, not necessarily an omen. Just be safe!

That sounds pretty scary! Fire safety definitely comes first, so you're right to be cautious. I think the spell might feel incomplete since you had to stop it, especially since the candles should ideally burn all the way down. It’s good to have some assurance—maybe pull an oracle card to see how things stand with your spell!

Always prioritize fire safety when working with candles. It’s great to pursue your magical interests, but make sure you’re not putting yourself—or your home—at risk! If the candle broke with that intensity, I’d suggest keeping a close eye on your surroundings next time.

Just trust your intuition and the work you’ve done. It’s normal to feel uneasy after such a wild flame, but it could also be that it just reflects the strength of your feelings. So keep your confidence up!
