Set Up in a Safe Area
Place the card on a sturdy, non-flammable surface like ceramic, glass, metal or stone.
Ensure the area is free from flammable materials (e.g., paper, fabrics) and is well-ventilated.
Set Your Intention
Take a moment to reflect on your wish.
Strike the Match:
Remove the match and while holding at an angle, scrape it quickly along the strike pad so it produces a flame.
Light the Wick:
Carefully touch the lit match to the wick to ignite it.
Take a moment to watch the flame and reflect on your intention, then immediately blow it out to extinguish the flame.
IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS
Always blow out the wick immediately after lighting it—this is not meant for prolonged burning.
Keep water or a fire extinguisher nearby, just in case (smh if you really do this).
Never leave the card or match unattended while the wick is lit (it’s not a fucking candle).
Extinguish the match by blowing it out or shaking it lightly. Place the used match in a fire-safe container (e.g., a metal or ceramic dish) to cool completely.
