The sanctuary candle is burned continually in a Catholic or Orthodox church as a sign of the continual real presence of Jesus Christ, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, under the appearance of the host (bread) kept the tabernacle (the gold box) in each church building. The candle is a sign to those who wish to pray that Jesus is truly present, looking at each person with love, listening to their prayers, and giving them the grace needed to deal with the problems of life.

Well,basically,around midnight,you lay a circle of lighted candles in the room you are experiencing paranormal activity in. Turn all lights off. Sit in the circle of 100 lit candles with at least maybe 3 or 4 friends. Each one of you will take turns telling stories myths or legends of paranormal experiences you have either experienced or witnessed or heard. When each story ends,blow a candle out. Every time you blow out a candle supposedly a spirit will be in the room with you. That means by the 100th candle is blown out,there will be 100 spirits in the room with you. Usually after you have played this game more than once,you will start experiencing more unusual happenings than ever.

What do you do when a candle doesn't burn out in a spell?
Candles are a common component of many spells and rituals.
If the candle is a spell candle with a specific single use, you should allow the entire candle to burn out on its own. If you must leave the area, place it somewhere safe and fire proof. I have left candles to burn out in the bathtub (no water in it) when I had to leave.
If the candle is a spell candle, made with the expectation of relighting it, for example a seven-day prosperity spell, the candle is snuffed out, (do not blow it out) at the end of the allotted time of that segment of the spell.
If the candle is part of a ritual, for example: the elemental candles used when calling a dismissing the elements (quarters, directions) then the candle may be snuffed out when you dismiss the elemental.
If the candle is part of a ritual and used to invoke the deities then it should not be put out at the end of the ritual, but allowed to burn out on its own. In the case of large multi-use candles sometimes used for this purpose, you may snuff out the candle when you are dismantling the Altar after the ritual.
