@BryWisteria @MeganB I can confirm that they orange candles DO work. I made mine in a small whisky glass (being from Scotland) and put a range of seeds in as i didnt have enough clove. It is now burning on my altar. ![20230104_140205](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/3/6/368d263febb666850718d0c3f6c9e68b18acb503.jpeg) ![20230104_140211](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/8/a/8acc7634aceaf202549e4ace0de0745fa5e9f9ad.jpeg) ![20230104_140324](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/4/b/4b53ca31079d685588a4d77648093125ebd68447.jpeg) ---

it burned for around an hour then it got a bit smokey so I had to snuff it out. Nice little project though if you have some spare oranges (and very quick to make!). ---

Always a smart move to snuff if it seems to be acting up πŸ‘ Still a very fun experiment though, thank you for giving it a try, @Cosmic_Curiosity! πŸ₯° I used up my last mandarin oranges in the simmer pot from the other day- next run to the store I’ll try to remember to grab an orange/other citrus to give this a try too! 🍊 πŸ˜€ Hooray for candle crafting! πŸ•―βœ¨ ---

I have been wanting to make my own candles for the longest time. I have no clue where to begin. I will start with the orange candle. Thant looks so pretty. ---

@Iyanifa Get yourself a basic candlemaking kit to start off. It comes with the basics to get you started. Pinterest is great for getting design and scent ideas to experiment with ---

@Dierna_Nimue_Selene I’m a little late on this one, but I buy the colored beeswax candles from Amazon. I purchase extra wicks and I deconstruct the candle and turn one candle into 4. They burn fast also, so if you are doing a candle spell you don’t have to wait to long for it to burn down. ---

Thank you for the responses. I am looking on Amazon for a candle making kit. I am going to watch a few You Tube videos. I am going to ask my husband to get me a kit for my birthday. ---
