Before buying a Do As I Say Candle, it is crucial to pay attention to some important details. Make sure to trim the wick, prepare the candle properly, and anoint it before lighting it and letting it burn for three to four hours. Keep in mind that the candle you receive may have slight variations from the one shown in the picture due to differences in color pigment.
Trim the wick
If you want to get maximum fragrance and maximum burn time from your do as I say candles, trim the wick every now and then. Candles burn for more than an hour if you don’t trim the wick, but after that, they will eventually lose fragrance. It is also important to keep the candle away from drafts.
When using do as I say candles, the wick must be no longer than one-fourth of its original length. This will help you avoid black flames and excessive smoke. This process will also help your candle last longer. It will also prevent black smoke stains from forming on glass candle holders.
Dress the candle
There are many different ways to dress a candle. One of the most common is by dipping an index finger into the oil, moving upwards from the base to the wick. Once you’ve reached the top of the candle, you can repeat the process with your other hand. The important thing to remember is to never rub the oil up and down, always the opposite direction.
You can also dress a candle for a specific purpose by adding different ingredients to it. The ingredients chosen should correspond with the intent of the spell. It is important to know the energy of each oil before dressing the candle. Some practitioners carve symbols into their candles, rub oils over it multiple times, and affix relevant adornments. Others simply consider the candle strong enough for spiritual work.
Anoint it
Anointing a do as I say candle involves putting a bit of natural oil on it. Grapeseed oil is a popular choice because it is unscented. But you can also use special candle magic oils that can be found at metaphysical supply stores. Start by rubbing the oil onto the top of the candle and working down to the middle. Once you’ve finished with that coating, you can start a new one.

Let it burn for 3 to 4 hours
The first time you light a candle, the wax should be allowed to burn for three to four hours before you blow it out. This will help the candle burn evenly and last longer. This is true for both glass and non-glass jar candles. It is also important not to blow out the candle while it is still burning to avoid any potential damage.
It is also important to trim the wick. The wick should not be over 4 inches long. Any longer than this can lead to a mushrooming of the wick. This will result in an unstable wick, an uneven burning of the wax, and smoke.
Show gratitude
A do as I say candle is a great way to thank someone for something. Instead of a generic “thank you” candle, you can choose one that highlights a special memory. Some examples of memories that you can use as inspiration for your gratitude candle are inspirational quotes, life lessons you learned, or simply time spent with your child.
Practicing gratitude is a great daily habit that will enhance your mental health in the long run. It can be practiced through journaling, meditation, or simply paying attention to the good in life.
