@BrightBeginnings77 Yes, that's exactly what I did, and it was very stupid of me. Thank the Gods it was snowing! (We also were putting tiny strips of paper into the fire too, which didn't help!) Next time I will DEFINITELY be watching what the hell I am doing before I do something stupid! =) I think I'll have to look into glass holders to put INSIDE my brass ones.
I usually use glass or ceramic candle holders for tea lights, and put them out with a snuffer. I'm actually quite whimpish when it comes to lighting candles. I will only use tea lights or votives. I'm scared of knocking tapers, dinner candles or pillar candles over. I happen to be autistic which also makes me very clumsy.
Once again, I hope you're unharmed and like you said, thank the Lord and Lady that it was snowing!!
@dollydot123 Yup I was okay! But argh! I definitely have to watch the safety next time >>; Glass, ceramic holders for those are definitely the better option!
I actually prefer votives and pillars, but I didn't have any at the time, otherwise I would have used them!
You can put a little bit of sand in the bottom of the candle holder to keep the candle from getting to hot, or from keeping the candle holder from getting too hot.
Wow. I heard LOTS of stories about fire during rituals (in both Pagan & Christian Churches)
But damn! I'm so glad you are okay.

@Sir4sissors That's a great idea (and an obvious one I didn't think of!) Thank you!
