Can I use commercial candles for tarot / candle magic?

[Maverick]

I just recently started learning about tarot. I was reading about ‘candle dressing’ for tarot reading or spells.
I own certain candles that I bought because I love their smell, so I was wondering if for example I have a tobacco candle can I use it for a spell? and it will manifest the power of tobacco? etc. Depending of the ingredients of the candle?

I would recommend you research the scents in your candles to make sure you are not trying to use them for a spell that is the opposite of what that scent helps with. Here’s a pretty good list to help you look them up: https://coven.thethriftywitch.com/pages/magickal-uses-of-herbs

manifesting the power of tobacco makes me think that the spell might make my mom drive up in her station wagon with stained fingers and way too many american spirits butts in a cup in the cup holder

I can’t believe this is even a question lmao. Who tf says you can’t use certain candles? Y’all newbies need to figure out what BS smells like because… that’s what your sources are.
