» RevNancyLeigh - Candles

Hi Myrrha,

When I was studying Wiccan, I read somewhere that to put out the fire of the candle when through you should douse it with your fingers, no blow it out. I picked up this habit and never stopped doing that since (there are actually several things I do still that I learned during my studies, like thanking the earth when you pick a flower, etc.). I do not remember WHY to douse the candle that way...was it an insult to fire to use air to extinguish the flame? Any thoughts?

Blessings,
