Many Witches pour a bit of ordinary surgical spirit [rubbing alcohol]
into their cast-iron cauldrons and light it by carefully dropping in a
lit match.
This is often done as part of a healing ritual, invocations to the elemental spirit of Fire.
To make an herbal ‘Cauldron Spirit’, put into a glass bottle a small bunch
of any of all of the following: fresh lavender flowers and leaves, fresh
mint leaves, fresh rosemary flowers and leaves, or fresh thyme flowers
and leaves. Fill the bottle to the top with the alcohol; cap it tightly,
and then give it a good shake. Keep it in a cool dry place for thirteen
days, shaking it twice daily [every sunrise and every moonrise]. Strain
through a double thickness of muslin into a clear bottle, cap tightly,
and store away from heat or flame. Cauldron spirit will keep indefinitely.

Candles increase your chances for a successful spell greatly. In fact, Candles are so effective in magical workings that one could work magic with only candles as their tools. This type of magic is called "Candle Magic" Carving or 'writing' on candles adds to the over all power of your spell, using a magical alphabet adds mystery and a connection to our ancient 'magicians' of the past.
I frequently use Pictish Swirl Script to 'write' messages, and words into my candles for spells or rituals, it is an old script used by the Pecti-Wita magical tradition. I find it easy to use once on a 'roll' and MUCH more interesting looking than my normal 'English' alphabet.
When I 'carve' a candle, I use a simple pen, of course it is a special pen, I keep on my altar, but I find it MUCH easier to control than an 'awl' of 'athame'. Just write on your candle like you would on paper, slowly and beware of HOW you write, for example, if you want to 'attract' energy TO you, you would write from 'top' down, to 'Banish' energy AWAY from you, you would write from 'bottom' up…
Below is a graphic with some examples of 'Pictish Swirl', next to each one has the English meaning.

The virtue of magic is often characterized by
the nature of the practitioner. As long as there
is a magical community, there will be people who
use the magical arts for ill intent and for personal
gain as well as those who strive to use the arts to
improve the quality of life. Ideally, the first type of
people would be retrained to use their skill for the
benefit of all. However, at times, we may have to settle
for merely stopping the hurt. To stop the negative
actions of a misguided practitioner of magic, write
his or her name on a piece of paper. Place the paper
in a jar, and fill it with water. Place the jar in your
freezer; as the water freezes, so will the ill actions of
the negative practitioner.
