Great question! & it has come up in the past.

Of course first & foremost is always [Candle Safety](https://forum.spells8.com/t/candle-safety/408).

You can also [dispose of the candle safely](https://forum.spells8.com/t/disposal-of-spell-remains/2669/2)

Personally, I do have a specific candle on 1 of my altars for Brigid that I relight whenever I am working with her or would like to invite purification into my space. I have another one on my other altar specifically for protection that I will snuff out & relight with the same intention when I relight it.

If the candles are anointed or carved into for the specific spell & it’s say… a tealight or chime candle, I will let them burn to completion.
