    It honestly depends on what tradition you are following. I have had teachers have a foot stamping hissy fit if you blow out a candle after ritual rather than snuff it or let it burn out. And I have had others who have had no problem snuffing out a candle to burn another night (for the exact same spell mind you!) or keeping the candle in a safe place to light another time for spells that take more than one night. This is one area where it really depends on how you feel about it.

    well, i do the same candle magic for eveyrthing, i just write a spel for each time i cast
    i blow my candle out each tiem im done
    i feel it actualy helps me communciate with fate and nature
    and i feel i have had some of my spells work
    i think its always about your own personal interpritation and feelings when it comes to this
    to me, when i blow the candle out, im saying ‘im done’ im finished

    It really depends on what you think is right. You can look at it a number of ways, but honestly, do what feels right! The fire guides won’t be angry if they know you were blowing out the candle for good reason. If you’re really afraid to do so, then always keep one, specifically there to represent fire, lit until you’re dismissing the elements you called.

    I’ve been told that it’s bad manors to blow out a candle. You should snuff it or wet your fingers & pinch it. I’ve also be told to let it burn all the way down, but this isn’t practical & dangerous if left unattended.
    Note:
    Never leave candles burning unattended

    Well a lot of people say that is blows the energy away so would never do it in a million years. Perhaps instead you could let it burn all the way down or use a candle-snuffer. I have never heard that blowing it out adds to the spell though. I might try it!

    in some spells yes and in some no. If it tells you to smother the candle with somthing or to let it burn out do not blow on it. so just be warry..

    It really depends but from what I’ve heard you snuff them, put them out with your fingers or let them burn themselves out

    No its considered spitting in the Goddess’s face if you do that.
    Purchase a candle snuffer or put them out by clapping your hands instead :D
