SHUT UP/LEAVE ME ALONE is to close the mouth of another (especially an enemy) and send them along their way out of your life, pathway, future, opportunities, or perhaps simply to the other room! Words are powerful as they are the method used to manifest thoughts. We are continually cautioned to guard our thoughts; therefore, the thoughts of others contaminate us when words are spoken in our presence. In no way is this candle and request to Shut Up/Leave Me Alone empowered to bring destruction or difficulties to the person it is used upon. It is simply a command to remove the contamination and negativity away from yourself. Long used with much success.
