Cecil, it is my understanding that fire is destroyed by water. In this case, is it a bad idea to use "floating" water candles if I need to stimulate fire in certain areas? Thanks

Dear Anon,
Frankly, I do not use this sort of thing. This is because; often practitioners don't purposely recommend these situations - more of a safety (harzard) factor.
We do not want to be liable - if by any chance, it catches fire. So, often, it is `supervised' properly; then it is acceptable.
Frankly, I don't see an issue with water used here. I believe, it is more of a practical reason. Since the wax often falls into the water and makes it easier to maintain.
It is not like the water `poured' onto the fire to extinguish it. There is a floating medium i.e. the wax that is in-between/intermediary between the two.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
