The exact disposal method with vary with magical tradition.

In European or American traditions, many people bury candle wax and other ritual remains after a spell is cast.

In hoodoo candle magic spells the disposal of left-over materials that follows other patterns, usually dependent upon the type of spell.

  • If the intention of the spell is good and it involves matters around one’s own home, like a blessing, love-drawing, money-drawing, or home protection, one can wrap the materials in a cloth or paper packet and bury them in the yard. It is important to never bury remains from negative spells in one’s own yard.
  • If the intention of the spell is not centered on matters close to home, or if one does not have a suitable yard:
    • one can wrap the materials in a cloth or paper packet and throw them in running water over the left shoulder and walk away
    • one can take the materials to a crossroads — any place where two roads cross — and throw the packet into the center of the crossroads over the left shoulder and walk away.
  • If the intention of the spell is specifically to get someone to leave town or leave one alone, one can divide the materials (e.g. 9 needles used in a spell and 9 pieces of wax from a candle) into 9 packets and add Hot Foot Powder (or Drive Away Powder) to each packet. One starts at a crossroads near to where the person lives and throws out the first packet. Then one travels in a direction away from the enemy’s home, toward where one wants them to go, and drops a packet at each crossroads one passes until all the packets are gone. In the country this might carry one several miles. In the city it would only be 9 blocks, so city folks only count major intersections (with a light) when they do this, or they may count freeway interchanges to get some distance worked up between the packets.
  • If the intention of the spell is seriously, irreparably harmful (death), especially if it contains graveyard dirt or goofer dust, one can dispose of the material in a graveyard. The wax and other remnants are placed in a miniature coffin, buried, and marked by a miniature headstone with the enemy’s name on it. When setting such a spell to rest, many workers also sprinkle a mixture of sulphur powder and salt around the grave, then walk home and don’t look back.

TIP: The crossroads is also the preferred place to throw bath-water before beginning a spell; it is often used for throwing out the remains of candle wax if the spell does not personally involve the practitioner or if the spell is negative or influence-removing.
