Another way to empty the wax from a candle jar is to pour boiling water into the jar and let it sit. The wax will melt and rise to the top of the jar. As the water cools the wax will harden, then you can just pop out the wax and dump out the water. You can even use the wax in a wax burner!
That works great, but please please please do that only if you have a significant amount of wax left! The less wax you have, the colder should be the water. I tried to clean my jar multiple times with the same temperature and when little was left it cracked and broke. It was a pity :( Be careful!
YES!!! More Dollar tree witchery hauls. Lol. It's about intentions not money. It's great for people first starting out, people who have to hide their practice or those on a budget. I get almost all my house daily needs from crafts, to practice to cleaning. There is no shame. I love watching Dollar tree hauls or altars, portable altars just ideas out the deep end.
I was just talking about this with a friend yesterday! I was trying to figure out how to do another one, I typically buy the same dollar tree stuff over and over and am not sure how interesting another would be! But I've been considering a "Five Below" witchy trip, and maybe intentionally looking around dollar tree just for witchy stuff I normally wouldn't for my viewers!
I dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Eric Joel I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I love the Dollar Tree incense. I got one pack of the patchouli and 3 holders for $5. I'm definitely going to be getting more, and this video gives me more ideas-certainly helps when you're on a budget!
It's awesome that you found Pink Himalayan salt! .... I don't burn paraffin wax because of how toxic it is but I get their 7-day jar candles and empty out the wax and refill them with beeswax or soy and make my own candles. This was fun to watch!! Thank you! Blessed be!
For candle jars when candle is burnt for last time (while wax is melted but hardened enough to not spill out) I pull wick and wick holder out then pop that jar in microwave long enough to melt all wax well. Then just pour out in garbage, wipe excess out and immediately hand wash in hot hot water. All residue is gone and by far is the most thorough, easiest and quickest way to get jar clean!
In Austria we commonly use Saint Corona even if it was a big thing such as sickness or small things such as scratches. My mother would always light her candle and we would pray together when I would get scratches, cuts or bruises when playing.
As a beginner witch on a tight budget along with a mom with autism/sensory issues and a mom of two boys with autism you were super insightful and super sweet. Also I have the lemongrass inscense and i love it
I can't remember who recommended it but if you go to DollarTree.com- you can order a bulk of 12 candles at once and order them by color- it's a box of them. You can either pay to have it shipped to your house or no shipping and have it sent to your closest dollar tree- and pick it up there. Whoever said it on here... THANK YOU!! This community is amazing and I'm super blessed!! If nothing else I'm also learning from you guys! I'm slowly stocking up- so far I bought RED for love(of all kinds)- Green for Abundance and money, and White(well cause you can do anything with it!)
Thank you for the info! It was so ironic that I was looking for healing and found one. It did occur to me later on that perhaps they are producing them BECAUSE of the pandemic.

Great stuff. I am a beginner kitchen witch. And also a red witch as i have discovered. Also very sensitive to light, smell, noise, mostly so i understand where you are coming from. I unfortunately can’t use any candle thats not soy or bees wax. And tbh noone should use others you are poisoning your self because they are petroleum base. But at the same time i am jelous i can’t use them lol because of price differences. Love your stuff and ideas. Currently made my own porcelain clay and want to make my own set of runes. I’m pretty excited. Thanks for sharing!

I buy my colored candles online from dollar tree because I can get a set of 12... I find black,orange, and purple during halloween but the red blue yellow green and white all the time along with the saints
Yea but it’s in bulk ... the bulk for the candles are 12 per color ... but that’s still good if you go through them a lot... certain colors are harder to get during certain times of the year because of holidays
St. Corona used to be associated with like treasure hunting or something. I think people have just repurposed the Saint for COVID because of her name lol Edit: Wikipedia said: "In March 2020 the Roman Catholic Diocese of Raleigh suggested invoking her for support of the world economy during the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic. She was not historically a patron saint of or invoked against pandemics or disease, but has been invoked against the current pandemic." so she wasn't invoked for healing so much as saving the economy.
HAHA did I call it that?! That's awesome! That's an absolute "Mel" moment. Sometimes I have brain farts forgetting words so I use things that are 'close enough'. Thanks for subscribing!!
I love the dollar tree candles, especially the orange ones and the saints. I hate harsh lighting and prefer candle light when possible. I like the bottle,I have not seen those at the dollar tree near me. The little cubes would nice to paint protection sigils or something 🤔 I love your personality 🙂 you are so cute and funny.
St. Corona, Corona is her name. She was born near Roman occupied Syria She's the patron saint of treasure hunters. She was killed because she comforted St.Vincent who was a Roman soldier being tortured for being christian. They were both killed brutally.shes buried in Italy and italy was hit very hard. And just because of the name they started praying to her in Northern Italy.
The Catholic Church would put the name of saints to pagan gods. They’re very good at that. Sometimes they’d even cross out the names of gods on old structures and etch in the names of saints. So that’s why they’re are saints of healing because it’s really Athena or something god similar.
I've been learning this! I never did a lot of background research into catholicism, I just didn't prescribe to it... but in some of my research into pagans, deities, and witchcraft, etc it's shown up, which has given me MORE reason to be like... I'm all good with this lol Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
@@bluejayvintageretro Thank you! I like the style of hoodies (I think they are called boatneck) where they are more opened in the collar so they don't choke me lol, When I was at a witch store and saw ones with wicked blessed on them I couldn't stop myself!!
Hi, I hope I don't sound insensitive to your content but I really have to know before I buy them if the Chakra incenses smell nice. Because I have a huge pet peeve when it comes to incense: making sure they burn properly and smell amazing.
I haven't burned them yet so I can't yet comment on burn ability but smelling quality I'd say compared to other incense- they aren't top notch... I'm super smell sensitive and am very picky, and somedays they smell good to me and somedays not so much, so I understand exactly why you're concerned!! I'd say err on the side of caution and don't bother. I plan on sharing my "favorites" but a huge recommendation of incense I've found good quality are fredsoll.com
@@Witchitybitchity oh I've actually been using them for a while and they definitely need improvement but they were a million times better than what I expected. And honestly the astrology incense that dollar tree has is soooo much better.
Everytime I went to Dollar Tree, there would always be these neat glass bottles for sale. Now that I decided I want to make moon water, they got rid of them. I am taking it as a sign that I should thrift or recycle my moon water vessels top be more eco friendly.
An interesting thing that I have learned about Our Lady of Guadalupe is that she is the Catholic manifestation of the ancient Aztec goddess Tonantzin. A google search will reveal a wealth of information about her. I have a "7-day" candle of Pancho Villa that includes a prayer for courage & strength in times of adversity.
Interesting! Thank you for sharing! There are so many saints, deities and spirts in our world that it's hard to know everything about everything which is why I always ask viewers to share because I am definitely not an expert! I appreciate you sharing with us!
Ty yes this was grate,I am new I always new I was different from other's. I been going threw awakening.ibeen working on only me or tryi g to bring peace back to my family. So ty also that clay stuff you got.try backing it.or just heat iven and trun back off.let stay in there and dry just a thought.pray for me please I am trying to find my way.i am a 55 yearold grandma that's family has been at odds for many years.so instead of wasting time on the bad family mojoe i am going to work on me and place a love sell on them.ty so so much love your videos
Bought tiles from an etsy shop for like 4dollar plus shipping they are blank scrabble tiles you got a deal the ones I got had 20 in a pack I plan to make runes with them or the witches alphabet
I have found some of the 7 day ones at dollar tree last 7 days cause our power was out last year for 2 weeks and I had to use my stash lol the st Jude ones I find last 6 days lol
she is not a spanish version of mother mary, she is mother mary, one of her many....forgot the word. i think guadalupe is the place where she was seen, she is also called the lady of perpetual help. she has got a litany of names which makes saying the rosary much longer. like a mantra.
You can do anything you want with them- I suggest if you're interested to get a good candle magick book to get some basics. And leaving them burning depends on the spell.
You got it! I will be going live later this week and will be talking a little about Mercury Retrograde and the upcoming videos I have planned, so I will add that to the "fast" list!
I purchased those tiny glass bottles to put a small amount of oil in to carry around in my purse or car. They leak and the metal lids dent easily. Now I use them for black salt, herbs, instead. I purchased a ton of the mini Mason jar candles with the same idea. I store herbs in them. They leak too. I used one to store prosperity oil I had made and it leaked when I traveled with it. So those bottles and Mason jars if you store liquid in them they should be put somewhere where they remain upright. I purchased those incense sticks too. I first purchased the rose which I didn't like. I do like the lemongrass and patchouli. I add extra essential oil on them when burning. I took the incense out of the packages and store the sticks in labeled full size Mason jars.
Hi, when you cast a spell how long do you light your 7 day candle for? I’m new to spell work and wondering if you can use the candle for different spells
Hi and welcome! As someone who is new- this is a much bigger question than I can answer in a quick comment. I recommend you first check out books based primarily on candle magic so you can really get a great grasp around it. There are all kinds of candles for different kinds of workings and it really depends on your purpose. I also recommend you learn basics if you're a beginner like protection, grounding, centering and understanding energy. Try to do that before casting spells as if you don't have a good grasp on those your spells won't work. I hope this helps a little!! I will be doing book recommendations soon!
St Corona is a new one for me, and by what she stands for it sounds kind of fishy that we now have a virus with the same name :/ So going to look for that candle next time and research more. I do work with angels and st in my practice and she captures me for some reason.
It's funny you say that- I literally was in the store like... "really? did they just make this up to market it for the Pandemic?" I'm always the skeptic FIRST. But apparently it's a legitimate saint :) Always ASK first then believe ;)
I did some research; St. Corona, Corona is her name. She was born near Roman occupied Syria She's the patron saint of treasure hunters. She was killed because she comforted St.Vincent who was a Roman soldier being tortured for being christian. They were both killed brutally.shes buried in Italy and italy was hit very hard. And just because of the name they started praying to her in Northern Italy.- That's what I said above.
if you research the word corona and why it's associated with the coronavirus is because it means "crown" and relates to the structure of the virus spike proteins... not some big conspiracy it's just that the saint of crowns / saint corona happens to use the word for crown that scientists used to name the virus
yes i wanna go to my local dollar tree n find some witchy items for love spells .. im just not sure how to do offerings or who to work with? or would it be fine to do it by myself? i feel more comfortable on my own but idk
If you're talking about witchcraft hun or spriituality- I will be releasing a recommended book list soon. My biggest suggestion for beginners- is start meditating. Work with your intuition. That's number one in this journey. Learn about yourself!
Great vid Mel… I recently purchased a lot of plain white candles from the dollar store. What do you recommend as a spiritual cleaning to use before putting candle on ancestor altar?
Whatever you're comfortable with; lots of things work... I usually use some form of incense or herb bundle in smoke cleansing but you can use intention or sound with bells or singing bowls or anything you choose if you can't do smoke cleansing.
@@MelsDivination Thank you so much for answering my question earlier. One last question. What is your opinion on using Florida Water or Sea salt & water together to cleanse off negative energy on new candles
@@Meta-morphisis I have done that...nothing wrong with it.. florida water and sea salt are both great for cleansing! there's 2 things to be aware of though. Florida water is extremely flammable so you need to be very careful when using it with candles or fire magic I've seen things explode and catch on fire from it, so if you do use it watch it closely and know what your doing!! Also...I'm not sure what other people would say but I feel it depends on the type of candle. If it's the glass pillar ones, the florida water doesnt actually touch the candle itself so for some reason intuitively I feel it doesnt work as well as smoke or sound cleansing but do what feels right for you
Thank you for sharing! I unfortunately get headaches from theirs, but that's just me because I am super sensitive to a lot of scents. I'm so happy you're able to enjoy it
Being over all sensitive does not mean you are an empath. Empaths just absorb people's feelings. That does not mean the other person feels nothing. But it is like if 1 person is angry, hurt, happy, sad, etc, the empath will become/feel the same way even if they have no reason to.
I got a question about the pink Himalayan salt.... I have a candle holder and a skull light thingy that holds the big chunks of the salt the light part stopped working in the skull and I never really looked at it to see why will the bottom was filled with water or silver type of fluid and also my candle holder, we're moving so started packing things up and when I went to pack the candle holder it was sitting in a puddle of water/ fluid .... Why? Why are my pink Himalayan salt leaking water/ fluid of some kind???
Ok so this is a great question! And actually, the answer is very easy but also very important. Depending on where you live, in the warm, humid seasons, for me, it's June-mid September, any and all Himalayan salt products will sweat. For instance, I have not only lamps but also tea light holders. They ALL sweat. Salt pulls out moisture naturally, so anything made of salt in humid atmosphere leaks moisture. I ruined a table this way not knowing and my tea light holder got salty water residue all over it. Over all it's not a big deal and normal for these products to do it, but as I found out,.. 1 it can ruin furniture, and 2 if it is an electric lamp, once in a blue moon I've heard of it causing fires. I personally don't know anyone who's had a fire due to this, but have read about it. What I do in the warmer months now that I know is... 1 Wrap the bottoms(base) in a layer of paper towel to absorb the moisture and also not ruin the furniture. 2. place them on top of some kind of coaster situation, for instance I save covers to candles and place them on that. and 3 if you're going away for a while, more than a day or two, shut your electric lights of this off in case of a spark. I hope this helps!
Sweetie, the Santa Corona candles were there because there has been a huge demand for her, recently, as you could imagine. However I don't see why purple and orange. They are not Easter colors or...correspondences?
Fun Fact: The clay doesn't actually dry. I've tried putting it in the freezer, baking it, leaving it out for endless amounts of time. Just doesn't work for me.
Hi Christina! Welcome! I'm sorry for this vague answer but this really truly depends on the spell. Sometimes I burn it straight through if I can, sometimes I light it routinely during specific periods like full moon or every sunday etc. I recommend (as I won't be teaching Candle Magic in depth anytime soon) to check out Mystic Dylan's Book Candle Magic on amazon- he's great and it's literally all about anything you need to know!
Hi! Thank you and welcome! I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this question. If the salt would be good... are you talking about the Himalayan salt? If so, what do you mean "good", good for what? I just need a little more info to properly answer your question :)
@@spiritwolf17 OH yes- it's great! In my personal opinion. I've bought it for a long time and actually don't use regular white salt anymore in my cooking unless I absolutely need to for a baking recipe. Everything get's Himalayan salt. I only use white salt for protection spells and for baking now LOL because the Himalayan salt has better healing properties and higher vibration.
lol. basically mother mary with crown or crowned mother mary. the symbol of that crown on her head. an equivalent of when during the litany one of jesus names is jesus with a crown of thorns. it becomes his title. like jesus of nazareth, sto nino (baby jesus), sacred heart of jesus, etc. mother mary also have tons of title. like when we call hecate, the great mother, the nameless one, the one who stands alone, and the enchantress.
You look like my mom kinda 💖 like we could be related or something lol love this vid Edit: OMG YOU USE THE SAME EXACT JAR LABEL ON YOUR EGG SHELLS AS SHE DOES!! ARE Y'ALL SECRETLY TWINS OR?? 🤣😍
Hello! Question and I don’t know if anyone’s asked this yet. But can the imagery be pilled off?? Is it just a plastic wrapper around the candle? I work with persephone and I just like the look of the plain white candles with nothing on them. Thank you 💕
You can buy just plain white candles- and yes the imagery can be pulled off too. But to save you the step you can buy the candle plain. At the time my Dollar Tree didn't have them which is why I didn't show them.
we don't have dollar tree. everything here is expensive it is third world so all items are very pricey one spell will cost me a few thousand already. It is worth it if effective and can give me vengence. The issues with spells is the graveyard dirt and so many things hard to find and do. Like crossroads, going to grave, aand so many things that is kinda difficult. If I do it at night im kinda need to go a bit further away maybe coz all homes here are connected to each other and this neighbors are nosy. I think the harder it is the better the spell is, it needs to be with so many difficult ingredients. I did try some hexing it didn't work maybe because it is too easy. I want my revenge so I can move on if i get my vengence with some people. I hate them so much.
Thank you so much; since I posted this video and a viewer suggested this many months ago I have done the research and have realized that's exactly what I am! I love this community and how we can learn from each other :)

I bought it in Salem, Massachussetts- It's a few years old now and I don't think they have this exact one anymore but they have ones that are similar...www.coonscardandgiftshop.com/
you don't have to burn candles for your craft- I'm just a fire element worker. But you could try LED candles, or if you really are wanting to try a candle spell do one where you can keep the candle in a sink or the tub/shower on the floor that way if it tips over it's in a fire safe space. You can also put them in a tinfoil pan like a lot of workers do
What do they call the symbol on your boat neck hoodie? If you don't mind, could I send you a prototype of one of my chime candle holder/stand? They're not fancy, but I would love feedback on it. Much love to all.
I love this question and am in the process of doing a video about christianity and witchcraft and the blending of the two! But to answer your specific question- it is absolutely your own choice. I can't tell you what is "ok" spiritually for you. As it's a deeply personal one. But there are PLENTY of people who blend the two. I hope that helps a bit.
I'm not sure I know what you mean... I've never seen a "7 color" candle in a dollar tree, maybe someone else can help with this question? If you're talking about the rainbow type candles- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple... you're likely seeing a 7 chakra candle but I can't be sure without seeing it. Again, I'm not totally sure :)
Hi I know this video was from a long time ago and you probably already know this but nomatter how long you leave that type of clay out it won't dry and I know this from experience sadly 😂
Another way to empty the wax from a candle jar is to pour boiling water into the jar and let it sit. The wax will melt and rise to the top of the jar. As the water cools the wax will harden, then you can just pop out the wax and dump out the water. You can even use the wax in a wax burner!

Right when I looked at the jar and was like “Moon water?” Right after that u were like “For moon water.”

Reusing things instead of buying new is always my first 'go to' since I was young. I used to clean out walmart candle jars that were just plain glass and use them for all kinds of things in my house, sponge holders in the kitchen, toothbrush holders in the bathroom, beauty brushes, qtips, cotton balls... it's almost just as nice as whatever you'd buy from a store and it's saving the environment and monehy!
The little glass jars with screw tops are great for on the go/traveling oils and herbs
I'm literally cleaning out like 8 of these jars right now! They are so awesome for a small batch of oil of any kind or if you just have a little bit of herbs you want to store, it's ridiculously versatile!

She was not historically a patron saint of or invoked against pandemics or disease, but has been invoked against the current pandemic." so she wasn't invoked for healing so much as saving the economy.
Interesting, thank you for this info!
Also your eyebrows. GORGEOUS
Aw thank you so much
Thank you for the tips and so many good ideas!
Glad it was helpful!
Definitely subscribing! It was an absolute joy to watch you! Also calling my Epson salt bath seasonings from now on 😂💕
HAHA did I call it that?! That's awesome! That's an absolute "Mel" moment. Sometimes I have brain farts forgetting words so I use things that are 'close enough'. Thanks for subscribing!!
I love the dollar tree candles, especially the orange ones and the saints. I hate harsh lighting and prefer candle light when possible.
I like the bottle,I have not seen those at the dollar tree near me.
The little cubes would nice to paint protection sigils or something 🤔
I love your personality 🙂 you are so cute and funny.
Aw thanks! Yes I prefer candle light, Himalayan salt lamps or christmas lights(string lights) at night over big electric lighting!
St. Corona, Corona is her name. She was born near Roman occupied Syria She's the patron saint of treasure hunters. She was killed because she comforted St.Vincent who was a Roman soldier being tortured for being christian. They were both killed brutally.shes buried in Italy and italy was hit very hard. And just because of the name they started praying to her in Northern Italy.
You can shop dollar tree online. So if there is something you want bulk of you can order it there.
The Catholic Church would put the name of saints to pagan gods. They’re very good at that. Sometimes they’d even cross out the names of gods on old structures and etch in the names of saints. So that’s why they’re are saints of healing because it’s really Athena or something god similar.
I've been learning this! I never did a lot of background research into catholicism, I just didn't prescribe to it... but in some of my research into pagans, deities, and witchcraft, etc it's shown up, which has given me MORE reason to be like... I'm all good with this lol Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Love your top .. awesome!!
Thank you! It's super comfy! My favorite actually; you'll probably see me in it multiple times! Got it from a witchy store in Salem, Mass.
@@MelsDivination oh wow..cool that you got it in Mass....It looks great on you..thanks for your great videos!
@@bluejayvintageretro Thank you! I like the style of hoodies (I think they are called boatneck) where they are more opened in the collar so they don't choke me lol, When I was at a witch store and saw ones with wicked blessed on them I couldn't stop myself!!
I love the intro of: are you a witch xD
Thank you :)
I'm not a witch at all but this was a very interesting and informative video
Hi, I hope I don't sound insensitive to your content but I really have to know before I buy them if the Chakra incenses smell nice. Because I have a huge pet peeve when it comes to incense: making sure they burn properly and smell amazing.
I haven't burned them yet so I can't yet comment on burn ability but smelling quality I'd say compared to other incense- they aren't top notch... I'm super smell sensitive and am very picky, and somedays they smell good to me and somedays not so much, so I understand exactly why you're concerned!! I'd say err on the side of caution and don't bother. I plan on sharing my "favorites" but a huge recommendation of incense I've found good quality are fredsoll.com
@@MelsDivination Thank you!!!
No. They smell horrible in my experience, and I would not recommend
@@Witchitybitchity oh I've actually been using them for a while and they definitely need improvement but they were a million times better than what I expected. And honestly the astrology incense that dollar tree has is soooo much better.
Hiii! I also do dollar tree witch shopping and buy the same exact things you do haha they have sooo much there it’s so amazing 💕
So cool!
Everytime I went to Dollar Tree, there would always be these neat glass bottles for sale. Now that I decided I want to make moon water, they got rid of them. I am taking it as a sign that I should thrift or recycle my moon water vessels top be more eco friendly.
I also will clean out things like salsa jars, peanut butter jars, marinara jars... etc so definitely there are ways to do it while upcycling!
Love this! New sub 💜💜
Thanks for subbing! and Yay!
New sub here! I loveee your hoodie
Aw thanks! And welcome to the channel!!
An interesting thing that I have learned about Our Lady of Guadalupe is that she is the Catholic manifestation of the ancient Aztec goddess Tonantzin. A google search will reveal a wealth of information about her.
I have a "7-day" candle of Pancho Villa that includes a prayer for courage & strength in times of adversity.
Interesting! Thank you for sharing! There are so many saints, deities and spirts in our world that it's hard to know everything about everything which is why I always ask viewers to share because I am definitely not an expert! I appreciate you sharing with us!

I buy the bottle to give oil to friend and family for dressing or feeding candles
Great tip!
New subscriber here :) thanks for sharing with us
Thanks for subbing!
she is not a spanish version of mother mary, she is mother mary, one of her many....forgot the word. i think guadalupe is the place where she was seen, she is also called the lady of perpetual help. she has got a litany of names which makes saying the rosary much longer. like a mantra.
Girl you are so beautiful
Lots of love from Kenya
Thank you so much that's very sweet!
What type of work can you do with the tall candles ? What is the purpose of leaving them burn ?
You can do anything you want with them- I suggest if you're interested to get a good candle magick book to get some basics. And leaving them burning depends on the spell.
Lady of Guadalupe may be a syncretism of the Aztec Mother Goddess Tonantzin
Please make the video about why you Jeff the Catholic Church. I’d love to see that! ❤️
You got it! I will be going live later this week and will be talking a little about Mercury Retrograde and the upcoming videos I have planned, so I will add that to the "fast" list!
I have the small bottle with the cork
Love this video ❤️
Thank you :)
BLESSED BE
The little glass bottles...use them for witch bottles....check out pinterest
Thanks! I was planning on using them for spell bottles but what ones I haven't decided as I clearly bought a bunch lol
I purchased those tiny glass bottles to put a small amount of oil in to carry around in my purse or car. They leak and the metal lids dent easily. Now I use them for black salt, herbs, instead. I purchased a ton of the mini Mason jar candles with the same idea. I store herbs in them. They leak too. I used one to store prosperity oil I had made and it leaked when I traveled with it. So those bottles and Mason jars if you store liquid in them they should be put somewhere where they remain upright. I purchased those incense sticks too. I first purchased the rose which I didn't like. I do like the lemongrass and patchouli. I add extra essential oil on them when burning. I took the incense out of the packages and store the sticks in labeled full size Mason jars.
Hi, when you cast a spell how long do you light your 7 day candle for? I’m new to spell work and wondering if you can use the candle for different spells
Hi and welcome! As someone who is new- this is a much bigger question than I can answer in a quick comment. I recommend you first check out books based primarily on candle magic so you can really get a great grasp around it. There are all kinds of candles for different kinds of workings and it really depends on your purpose. I also recommend you learn basics if you're a beginner like protection, grounding, centering and understanding energy. Try to do that before casting spells as if you don't have a good grasp on those your spells won't work. I hope this helps a little!! I will be doing book recommendations soon!
St Corona is a new one for me, and by what she stands for it sounds kind of fishy that we now have a virus with the same name :/ So going to look for that candle next time and research more. I do work with angels and st in my practice and she captures me for some reason.
It's funny you say that- I literally was in the store like... "really? did they just make this up to market it for the Pandemic?" I'm always the skeptic FIRST. But apparently it's a legitimate saint :) Always ASK first then believe ;)
I did some research; St. Corona, Corona is her name. She was born near Roman occupied Syria She's the patron saint of treasure hunters. She was killed because she comforted St.Vincent who was a Roman soldier being tortured for being christian. They were both killed brutally.shes buried in Italy and italy was hit very hard. And just because of the name they started praying to her in Northern Italy.-
That's what I said above.
@@v.9964 SUPER interesting thank you for this!
if you research the word corona and why it's associated with the coronavirus is because it means "crown" and relates to the structure of the virus spike proteins... not some big conspiracy it's just that the saint of crowns / saint corona happens to use the word for crown that scientists used to name the virus
I'm so glad I found your channel! Blessed be! 😺
I'm so glad!
yes i wanna go to my local dollar tree n find some witchy items for love spells .. im just not sure how to do offerings or who to work with? or would it be fine to do it by myself? i feel more comfortable on my own but idk
I recommend you watch my 'intro to deities' video but you don't have to do offerings if you're not working with a specific entity.
This is awesome I want to start this but I don’t know how to start :(
If you're talking about witchcraft hun or spriituality- I will be releasing a recommended book list soon. My biggest suggestion for beginners- is start meditating. Work with your intuition. That's number one in this journey. Learn about yourself!
@@MelsDivination ok thank youuuu❤️
Great vid Mel… I recently purchased a lot of plain white candles from the dollar store. What do you recommend as a spiritual cleaning to use before putting candle on ancestor altar?
Whatever you're comfortable with; lots of things work... I usually use some form of incense or herb bundle in smoke cleansing but you can use intention or sound with bells or singing bowls or anything you choose if you can't do smoke cleansing.
@@MelsDivination Thank you so much for answering my question earlier. One last question. What is your opinion on using Florida Water or Sea salt & water together to cleanse off negative energy on new candles
@@Meta-morphisis I have done that...nothing wrong with it.. florida water and sea salt are both great for cleansing! there's 2 things to be aware of though. Florida water is extremely flammable so you need to be very careful when using it with candles or fire magic I've seen things explode and catch on fire from it, so if you do use it watch it closely and know what your doing!! Also...I'm not sure what other people would say but I feel it depends on the type of candle. If it's the glass pillar ones, the florida water doesnt actually touch the candle itself so for some reason intuitively I feel it doesnt work as well as smoke or sound cleansing but do what feels right for you
I like there insense
Thank you for sharing! I unfortunately get headaches from theirs, but that's just me because I am super sensitive to a lot of scents. I'm so happy you're able to enjoy it
Being over all sensitive does not mean you are an empath. Empaths just absorb people's feelings. That does not mean the other person feels nothing. But it is like if 1 person is angry, hurt, happy, sad, etc, the empath will become/feel the same way even if they have no reason to.
Yes, I'm fully aware of what empath means; thank you for clarifying for anyone who may be confused.
corona is an old word that means crown
I got a question about the pink Himalayan salt.... I have a candle holder and a skull light thingy that holds the big chunks of the salt the light part stopped working in the skull and I never really looked at it to see why will the bottom was filled with water or silver type of fluid and also my candle holder, we're moving so started packing things up and when I went to pack the candle holder it was sitting in a puddle of water/ fluid .... Why? Why are my pink Himalayan salt leaking water/ fluid of some kind???
Ok so this is a great question! And actually, the answer is very easy but also very important. Depending on where you live, in the warm, humid seasons, for me, it's June-mid September, any and all Himalayan salt products will sweat. For instance, I have not only lamps but also tea light holders. They ALL sweat. Salt pulls out moisture naturally, so anything made of salt in humid atmosphere leaks moisture. I ruined a table this way not knowing and my tea light holder got salty water residue all over it. Over all it's not a big deal and normal for these products to do it, but as I found out,.. 1 it can ruin furniture, and 2 if it is an electric lamp, once in a blue moon I've heard of it causing fires.
I personally don't know anyone who's had a fire due to this, but have read about it.
What I do in the warmer months now that I know is... 1 Wrap the bottoms(base) in a layer of paper towel to absorb the moisture and also not ruin the furniture. 2. place them on top of some kind of coaster situation, for instance I save covers to candles and place them on that. and 3 if you're going away for a while, more than a day or two, shut your electric lights of this off in case of a spark. I hope this helps!
Sweetie, the Santa Corona candles were there because there has been a huge demand for her, recently, as you could imagine. However I don't see why purple and orange. They are not Easter colors or...correspondences?
Purple represents spirit and Orange represents fire
Also, I love your sweater! where did you get it?
I'm not sure if they sell them anymore but it was from a place in Salem, Mass. Let me see if I can find the link- cause a lot of people have asked.

I LOVE LORI BRUNO ♥❤💕💖
Fun Fact: The clay doesn't actually dry. I've tried putting it in the freezer, baking it, leaving it out for endless amounts of time. Just doesn't work for me.
Oh wow!
Hi I’m a new subscriber, when you do spells with a 7day candle how long do you keep it lit? Because I know a chime candle finishes pretty quick
Hi Christina! Welcome! I'm sorry for this vague answer but this really truly depends on the spell. Sometimes I burn it straight through if I can, sometimes I light it routinely during specific periods like full moon or every sunday etc. I recommend (as I won't be teaching Candle Magic in depth anytime soon) to check out Mystic Dylan's Book Candle Magic on amazon- he's great and it's literally all about anything you need to know!
new subb. I was wondering if the salt would be good or not. thank you for the info. great channel hun.
Hi! Thank you and welcome! I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this question. If the salt would be good... are you talking about the Himalayan salt? If so, what do you mean "good", good for what? I just need a little more info to properly answer your question :)
@@MelsDivination oh lol sorry the Himalayan salt from dollar tree. i will be giving it a try now. ty for sharing this. blessed be.
@@spiritwolf17 OH yes- it's great! In my personal opinion. I've bought it for a long time and actually don't use regular white salt anymore in my cooking unless I absolutely need to for a baking recipe. Everything get's Himalayan salt. I only use white salt for protection spells and for baking now LOL because the Himalayan salt has better healing properties and higher vibration.
@@MelsDivination awesome thanks 😊will be switching over completely ty very much for the info. 👍
Well I just bought out dollar trees pink Himalayan salt. Lol. Ty again.
lol. basically mother mary with crown or crowned mother mary. the symbol of that crown on her head. an equivalent of when during the litany one of jesus names is jesus with a crown of thorns. it becomes his title. like jesus of nazareth, sto nino (baby jesus), sacred heart of jesus, etc. mother mary also have tons of title. like when we call hecate, the great mother, the nameless one, the one who stands alone, and the enchantress.
You look like my mom kinda 💖 like we could be related or something lol love this vid
Edit: OMG YOU USE THE SAME EXACT JAR LABEL ON YOUR EGG SHELLS AS SHE DOES!! ARE Y'ALL SECRETLY TWINS OR?? 🤣😍
I love this! I don't have a twin that I'm aware of LOL But they say we can have twins out in the world somewhere ;)
Hello! Question and I don’t know if anyone’s asked this yet. But can the imagery be pilled off?? Is it just a plastic wrapper around the candle? I work with persephone and I just like the look of the plain white candles with nothing on them. Thank you 💕
You can buy just plain white candles- and yes the imagery can be pulled off too. But to save you the step you can buy the candle plain. At the time my Dollar Tree didn't have them which is why I didn't show them.
@@MelsDivination Thank you so much 🥰
we don't have dollar tree. everything here is expensive it is third world so all items are very pricey one spell will cost me a few thousand already. It is worth it if effective and can give me vengence. The issues with spells is the graveyard dirt and so many things hard to find and do. Like crossroads, going to grave, aand so many things that is kinda difficult. If I do it at night im kinda need to go a bit further away maybe coz all homes here are connected to each other and this neighbors are nosy. I think the harder it is the better the spell is, it needs to be with so many difficult ingredients. I did try some hexing it didn't work maybe because it is too easy. I want my revenge so I can move on if i get my vengence with some people. I hate them so much.
I feel u
I'm a HSP - high sensitive person
Maybe u too 😊😉
Maybe ist useful and u can do some research, if u haven't heard about it 😊
Thank you so much; since I posted this video and a viewer suggested this many months ago I have done the research and have realized that's exactly what I am! I love this community and how we can learn from each other :)

I bought it in Salem, Massachussetts- It's a few years old now and I don't think they have this exact one anymore but they have ones that are similar...www.coonscardandgiftshop.com/
The incense sticks are and smell bad, ugh, no for me. All the other hauls are great. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I really wish I could burn candles but I'm scared to by myself.
you don't have to burn candles for your craft- I'm just a fire element worker. But you could try LED candles, or if you really are wanting to try a candle spell do one where you can keep the candle in a sink or the tub/shower on the floor that way if it tips over it's in a fire safe space. You can also put them in a tinfoil pan like a lot of workers do
Saint Carona 😂
What do they call the symbol on your boat neck hoodie? If you don't mind, could I send you a prototype of one of my chime candle holder/stand? They're not fancy, but I would love feedback on it. Much love to all.
The symbol is the triple goddess. And if you email at melsdivinationreadings@gmail.com mention this conversation I can send you my information.
@@MelsDivination Thank you. Will do. 🕉
Is it okay for someone to be catholic and still participate in these spells
I love this question and am in the process of doing a video about christianity and witchcraft and the blending of the two!
But to answer your specific question- it is absolutely your own choice. I can't tell you what is "ok" spiritually for you. As it's a deeply personal one. But there are PLENTY of people who blend the two. I hope that helps a bit.
What do the seven color candles mean?
I'm not sure I know what you mean... I've never seen a "7 color" candle in a dollar tree, maybe someone else can help with this question? If you're talking about the rainbow type candles- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple... you're likely seeing a 7 chakra candle but I can't be sure without seeing it. Again, I'm not totally sure :)
For a traveling altar .
I love that idea- took me a while to figure out what you meant but I realize you meant the tins!
yes .
Saint Corona patron saint of plagues.
Thanks for this!
Hi I know this video was from a long time ago and you probably already know this but nomatter how long you leave that type of clay out it won't dry and I know this from experience sadly 😂
HAHAH I DID find that out... The hard way- in my next Dollar Tree video I mention I gave it to my cousin :)
@@MelsDivination haha sorry I didn't see the other one until after this comment 😅
