Hello and happy Saturday to one and all!
I was not able to complete the prayer to Bast for protection last week, so I did it today. Here is my humble setup! Black candle for protection / warding off of evil and negative energies, feather for an offering to Bast, and this lovely cat statue we have in the house to represent Bast herself:
Astute eyes may also notice my little lion figurine in the background that I’ve had out since the start of Leo season. It’s the 21st so I guess I need to change him out! Lol!
I also had a candle magick question: is there a limit to the number of prayers / candle spells I can do in a day? Will the candle get too confused with all the different energies / intentions? Or once I snuff it out is that putting it back to a clean slate sort of thing? I couldn’t find the answer anywhere so I apologize if this has already been answered.

Aww, your Bast spell looks great! Good job!
As for candles, this is just my opinion but once you program them for a certain thing, it’s awfully difficult for them to be reused for something else. Personally, I use chime candles so I can let them burn down and just use another for the next purpose.
The only time I reuse a candle is when I’m lighting one for my morning devotional, and that’s because I use it for the same thing every morning.
Hope this helps!

Chime candle? Are those the little ones?

That’s a lovely setup for Bast!
As for your candles, I sometimes reuse mine (for money reasons). I have read that it’s best to light different candles for meditations and spell work. However, I feel that when I do a black candle meditation, for example, I have already placed an intention on that candle to rid myself of any and all negative energies, so I don’t see why I couldn’t use it for a spell to banish negativity. Now, if I tried to use it for a money or love spell, for example, then the poor candle would get confused.
