Ok so I very recently started working with Hekate after I noticed her presence in my home. I've made two offerings to her so far, the first was lighting a candle for her and the second was writing a poem about the divine feminine, reading it for her and burning incense while doing it. So now I have to clean off my altar a white candle that's melted into the glass candle holder, a poem written on a piece of paper, and the incense stick and ash.

How do I clear those things off my altar and dispose of them respectfully? The candle wax will need to be thrown out, if I left it outside it could injure an animal. Leaving the written poem outdoors would be littering, same with the incense stick. I think maybe burning the paper the poem is written on and scattering the ashes outdoors might be a good idea, but I want to get a second opinion. Both have been sitting on my alter for a day or two which is a good amount of time I think, so I should probably clean them up soon so my altar isn't messy.

Thanks for the help and merry meet!

Please no judgment lol I'm trying to get my act together wirh this problem!

So I'm kinda human and I've accidentally fallen behind on filing income taxes. I've had a butt ton of really awful financial issues the past couple years (my business failed, I was unhoused for a brief period and now I'm back on my feet) and just haven't had the budget to pay a tax guy, nor the time to track down W2s and get it filed myself. Thankfully I don't make much money so the IRS haven't flagged me that I know of, but I want to get back on track.

I need a tax professional in Texas who is comfortable working with people who have complicated situations tax reporting wise or are in situations similar to mine. I'm ready to get my act together and figure this out, I'm willing to pay a premium for peace of mind and knowing that it's handled.

I'm also looking for someone who knows tricks to get the tax bill as low as it can go. I think most accountants know this but if any of you have a tax professional who's saved you thousands of dollars before, that's who I'm looking for!

Any greater Austin area/San Antonio suggestions are welcome. Honestly any professional who lives in TX would be great! Thanks in advance, Reddit is always extremely helpful with this sort of thing. Thanks besties!
