What do you do with non-reusable ingredients after a spell is finished?
Herbs, candle stubs, salt, etc
It seems wrong to just toss it in the trash
I prefer to bury things, but if it's not biodegradable I refuse to do that.
AND: How do you dis-assemble a spells components without UNDOING the spell?
heres an example of what I mean:
I have a spell that requires a lime, vingear, sugar, etc in a sealed container
Now, common sense tells me this will be a moldy decomposing mess... eww. So I cant hold on to it
But the plastic container means I can't bury it... bad for the Earth
Will throwing it out/rinsing it out undo the spell??

Re: Spell Clean Up
If its herbs, for example i have a healing spell that says you make a circle with cloves around a candle, in this case since the cloves are just by themselves and not mixed with anythign else i will put them back in their storage box.
if its candles i use them again, or i use tealights which burn fast enough.
I use salt for crystal cleansing more than once or untill it gets wet from the humidity in the air.
Now about undoing a spell if the time onf need has passed and the goal is achieved i just say a few words like "now my spell should be undone " or somethin and remove the ingredients from sachets and such.
About your bottle spell i would simply make a hole in the ground wth a small garden shovel or with my hands and put the stuff in there, then wash the bottle.

Re: Spell Clean Up
I am prone to burying, but I also dispose of things via running water, fire or, if I feel that it doesn't really pertain to the spell, I'll just throw them out.Victoria wrote:What do you do with non-reusable ingredients after a spell is finished?

- Herbs (salt and sugar included), always throw out unless the spell calls for them to be burned, buried or tossed into water.
- Candles are tricky. If they aren't burned out all the way, reuse them. If you get down to just the 'remains,' I'd bury it or just toss it (if biodegradable.) I don't use ones with all the funky chemicals, though.

Re: Spell Clean Up
Use recycled paper soda cup or coffee cup with lid & remove the lid when you bury it. Scotch tape paper as a lid.
