Oh and if you want to know what I mean be candle and smoke it is to make a kind of ritual where you energize a thought with emotion and then send it out through your breath which blows out the flame and the smoke carries the thought up and to the creator. And even if that isn't what happens I grew up reading nothing but fantasy which is filled with magic rituals so even though I don't know if that kind of thing actually works it still carries with it great weight and so therefore it helps me believe in it working which is what I think rituals are just ways to help you creat the reality you are trying to creat by giving you a regular thing that you can do and inso increasing the belief in that reality happening.
Conifer, one of the most important things with candle rituals is that you have to believe that what you are doing WILL work, 100%. You made a couple of quick comments like, "even if that isn't what happens", or "I don't know if that kind of thing actually works", which seems to indicate that there's a small bit of uncertainty, although you seem confident that there is "some" effect to come out of it.
With all magic, charge your emotions and build the confidence that as you blow out the candle, the deed is done. Be sure of it. And begin living as if things have already changed. In this way, you are using a physical force (breath) to validate your inner-intentions, which is the key to magic.
I've watched people SCREAM when they command magic to work, because a strong force of emotion is needed in order to get that vibration really excited. If you sit relaxed and gently blow out the candle, smile, and then go to sleep, the intensity of your calling will be on par with the excitement of seeing that your toast didn't burn when it pops up from the toaster. :-) So always remember to not only get emotionally excited about the intention, but also to show force in your physical validation of the request. You can also shout, "It is done!" or "So mote it be", or "So be it, so it shall be".
I'm sure you've come across this in reading about candle magic, but it may be worth repeating some of the highlights. :-)
Good luck with contacting your friend!

Hi, I haven't actually read anything about real magic or candle rituals I just used my understanding of how the universe works and used the candle to do what I would think is real magic. And steve reading your post somehow made me really emotional and i felt like I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time and usually when this kind of energy happens I start making loud noices to release the energy but as it is bedtime and everyone else is asleep I couldn't so I just paused reading and focused on sending the energy out as happiness and light in all directions(because that was the kind of energy that it was). And you are right there is a little uncertainty in me about this but it is fading slowly and I am starting to learn how to do real magic which I haven't really tried much(because I am still learning about it) so this was a kind of first attempt at "magic"(or as I would call it intention) and we'll see if it works.
Thanks,
