Just to save time and energy but a suggestion if you will

The night before you do your spell work I would make sure to have everything set up your area set up cleansed and all of that but you can also use sage or whatever you like by any means to cleanse your candle before using it meaning picking it up and circling it around with sage ,but also you can do the sage agian the next day i usually cleanse my candle and set up the night before but sometimes I cleanse day of.
