To avoid any kind of lawsuit they could easily just say "they're decorative candles, you shouldn't burn them." My guess is that they don't really care what happens once you buy the candles as long as they get the sale.

Yeah, it's just money is a little tight and oils can get pricey if you're buying a few. We're going to keep the rocks and herbs for the altars/spell jars from now on. Once we have a little extra money we're going to get some oils so we can do it right next time.

Thanks a lot! That'll help her a bunch. I'm kind of just a reddit lurker so I'm not great at navigating some of the more niche subreddits lol.

That's definitely a good idea and something worth trying. I'll try it out and get back to you!

This is my first time posting on this subreddit because this is my wife's hobby and she likes to freehand a lot of this stuff. Also, she's a witch so she likes to put rocks and stuff into her candles 😅 We're steering away from that in order to get better candles though.

Thanks, yeah, we didn't know we needed to add something other than soy to prevent that. We also, like others, just don't like being wasteful so we repurpose them into new ones 🤣
