How to make Back Candles and Incense

[mcdonn12]

I spent a long time looking online and searching for ways to make the supplies that can be used for rituals and what not. After spending much time searching I have managed to come up with several ways to easily make these supplies. So I have decided to make it a little bit easier for those of you who are looking to make their own supplies. Black Candles: Need: plain white candles (they MUST be in a container because the wax will melt), Double Boiler (If you don't have one of these you can use a wide, low pot (such as a frying pan) & a metal/glass container (which needs to be taller than the pot and wide enough to fit the candle in)), stove, black colored crayons Instructions: 1. Take the bottom part of the double boiler or the pot and fill it up with water about 3/4 the way full 2. Place the white candle into top part of the double boiler or into the metal/glass container 3. Place the metal/glass container into the pot 4. Place the boiler/pot on the stove and turn it on medium-low (BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN YOURSELF!) 5. Watch the candle and make sure the wick doesn't sink into the wax while it is melting (you might have to take it out) 6. To make the candle black, Take a couple black crayons and cut them up into several small pieces (the smaller the better). Once the wax is completely melted, drop a couple pieces into the candle and mix thoroughly. 7. Once you have the wax a black color, turn off the stove and CAREFULLY place the candle somewhere to harden. If you took the wick out, you need to place it back in. Done!
