Needing spell help asap

I ordered two candles for a spell I'm casting tomorrow that's very important and I received the two candles today, one of them was broken at the head. If I choose to still use the broken candle, could this have backfire or bad effects for the outcome of workings of the spell? Please any and all insight is appreciated. I've already called the store and left a message.

If it were me, I would write a spell to 'heal' the candle, while melting the wax around the broken area, so that it is whole again. Then, you can use it.

The candle doesn't cast the spell, you do. Aside from aggravating OCD, there will be no adverse effects of using a candle with a broken tip. If the broken tip does bother you during your working it may detract your focus and result in a less effective spell, but otherwise its not as if the spell will be broken because the tools you are using aren't pristine.

Your focus, and personal power are much more important than the tools you use. A tool (candle) just helps you direct your energy when you do a working.

I think it would be better to help my OCD if I melted the candle back into place. Can anyone suggest a very simple cleansing to reassure my mind that it won't backfire? Lol

To be safe, melt the whole thing down and make a new one. Melt the candle in a bowl over boiling water [if it's in a containiner put it in the water, but low to make sure the container doesn't break, then when the wax is melted, pour the wax into a mason jar, candle mold, or the bottom of a milk carton if you have one, and place the wick in the middle. Leave it to cool. Done. If you are still worried, dip it in salt water to cleanse any energy once you've remade the candle.

If you decide to go with Nekoshema's idea, then try to find a container as close as possible to the original shape and size of the candle you are melting. When made properly, candle wicks are specifically chosen for the size of the candle that they are intended to be used with to create the most efficient, and longest burn possible with a decent sized flame.

Wick is generally chosen for the size of the "wax pool" it creates when lit. A candle flame produces heat, which melts the surrounding wax, thus creating a pool of liquid wax. Thinner wicks don't burn as hot so the resulting wax pool is smaller (the flame is also smaller). Thicker wicks burn much hotter and have a larger flame, resulting in a larger wax pool.

If you melt down the wax, and make the candle thinner than it originally was, then your candle will drip profusely because the wick will create a wax pool with a diameter greater than the diameter of the candle. If you make the candle thicker than it originally was, then wax pool created by the wick wont be sufficient, and the wax farther from the wick wont melt, causing your candle flame to be snuffed out or become very tiny.

In my opinion, you're better off not melting it down, as I'm guessing you lack the proper candle making tools, and it will probably cause more hassle and mess then it is worth. Wicks aren't generally reusable, as the wax saturates the wick when the candle is first poured, and makes it difficult to reuse in a second pour. Candle wax also has the possibility to bubble, crack, and get other discolorations when pouring if not poured at proper temperatures. There is a chance the candle could come out more disfigured than it is right now.

As for cleansing the candle, light the unbroken candle during your working, pick up the broken candle in your hand, and pass it over the flame of the unbroken candle. If it helps, visualize the fire of the flame eradicating any undesirable energies from the broken candle.

Thank you so much!! I just went ahead and melted the head back on the candle lol its fine now. (It's a candle shaped as a body)

Cleaned itbwith gold and white energy to clear it out and charged it with white and blue energy to charge the candle.

I'm casting then speak tonight so any and all positive energy is welcome :)

One last question. How do you dispose of nonorganic things such as candle wax and such?

It's fine to dispose of wax in your usual garbage. If you have a fireplace, you could throw it into the fire too. Or you could use the burial method for candles I described above.
