Question
I was told that it was very bad when you spill a red candle that is lit, it was said that it can represent love and blood and when you spill the red wax that it represents blood getting spilt. it this true?
Dear Kayla,
Hello and thank you for contacting me. To tell you the truth there are a lot of misconceptions in magic. Magic is mostly about one's intention and focus. If you do not intend to cause harm through ritual then it will not do that. It is true that red can represent love and many other things but that is in the eye of the beholder so to speak. So there is no need to worry; it is not true that merely spilling wax will hurt you. Blessings on your path.

Expertise
I can answer general questions about most forms of modern Paganism, including, but not limited to Wicca, Asatru, Druidism, various African based paths, and eclectic general Neopaganism. I can also help a person to construct simple spells for various purposes, provided that they are ethical. I may be able to offer some advice on how to find your own niche in Neo-paganism. I look forward to your email.
