I’m using a seven-day candle for a self-love spell. After several burns with clear glass, the inside turned black after someone snuffed it while I was out. Could that be a sign of interference, or is there a more ordinary explanation?
Could someone snuffing my candle make the glass go black?

Black residue on the glass is usually soot from the candle burning. Wick length, the candle’s ingredients, drafts, and how the flame is burning can all affect it. Snuffing can make a little smoke too, but the change alone can’t tell you that another person’s energy caused it.

If candle signs are part of your practice, you can treat the blackening as something to reflect on, but I wouldn’t read it as proof the spell is blocked or that your mom interfered. There are ordinary reasons for soot, and the candle’s appearance can’t identify whose energy was involved.

The bigger thing here is safety. Don’t leave a lit candle unattended, even for a short trip, especially with pets around. Follow the candle’s instructions, keep it on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts and anything flammable, and let it cool before handling it. A seven-day candle doesn’t need to burn nonstop.

That helps. I was worried the change meant the spell had gone wrong.
