Entry 2896
If you wanta do some dirty work with a black candle, you do the same as you would the green candle - cut the top of it off. And always turn it bottom up - don't take the little tail [wick] that lights and set it straight, but cut that off and turn it bottom up with that name on it. And they'll always suffer with a pain in the head at certain times - like you light it fer six, that misery'll start at six; if you light it at nine, that misery'll start at nine; if you light it at twelve or three in the evening, [that misery'll start at twelve or three]. That misery will last at least a hour.
