Do spices cause a flame to jump and spark?
I'm doing a bath love spell and have rubbed ginger and cinnamon along a short pink candle. I noticed it's been sparking around a lot...should I be busting out my candle divination skills or assuming it's because of the spices?!

It’s the spices.
Think about popcorn. The moisture inside of the kernel makes the popcorn explode and when it does fluffy white stuff comes out of it and it flies around as that happens.
Same thing, only on a smaller scale with the spices you’re using.

I DON'T recommend this with candles, but if you have a fire pit, throw on a handful of powdered coffee creamer and see what happens. Don't stand too close. I know it's not a spice, but it can sure make your fire look cool!

When I was a kid we used to toss ping pong balls into the fireplace. They would make lovely colors.

now if you are the type to try this at home, please tie your hair back if its long and try to stand as far back from the flame as you can. but finely powedered frankincense will flair up if you drop it onto a burning candle. but please be careful and use fire safety. i really don't want anybody getting hurt or burning the house down because of somethng i told them. i discovered this on accident and singed my eyebrows and almost lost my hair. yea i didn't feel so bright after that
