What does this mean?

I actually use one of these for my main candle burning platform.

Mines bigger than this, and came from the dollar general. It was something like five bucks, but because it’s shaped like a plate, the center is lower enough from the outside edges, that even when I’m doing big rituals I don’t have any issues.

I’ll have to go check my necromantic journal fast, but I think I’ve got a picture there with it all lit up with candles lol.

As far as the rest goes, I can see what you mean- it doesn’t seem like the author intended for you to discern the specifics of the burn in this case, and doesn’t seem to give you much to discern what your actually trying to accomplish here.

It would probably be easier if you knew what was going on, but since you don’t it’s almost as if a general overall protection is probably the best you could hope for anyways.

You could send Luna to aid her with negative energy and emotions as well, or ask her to help shield your friend against whatever the need is. Or really any protective entity, would probably better be able to discern her needs than us without more information.
