I wanted to do a transmutation spell,cleansed the candle, the area, the paper, string, pen and paper I used and aligned black salt on the silver candle holder. At the bottom, is a wooden block just got safety purposes. My candle had my petition tied to it, and the candle fell into a position (due to the wax melting) where I had to push it back to the plate using insence sticks and, at the end due to fire safety, I extinguished it with the rest of my black salt. Did I do something wrong? Any advice or tips would be welcomed. Thank you.
