Candle Flame Shape

Hello everyone. I hope everyone is having a peaceful day/night wherever you are in the world.

I am hoping someone will be able to shed some light on the meanings of candle flame shapes. I am attaching a few images, and was hoping someone, somewhere would be able to guide me :folded_hands: :sparkles: :black_spell_candle:

Hello @Angels8,

Thank you, and same to you! :heart:

First things first, I always love a candle pun :wink: :candle: I’d be happy to try and shed some light via some thoughts, but it comes with a disclaimer that flame readings isn’t an area of divination I specialize in. I prefer more static forms of divination such as tarot, tea leaves, or wax readings. These types of divination are often done after a spell is complete (or the cup is empty/candle is out/etc) and the material is still. In contrast, things like flame or smoke readings tend to involve reading the movement of the material while it is lit/burning.

That’s certainly not to say that one can’t read a still image of flame or smoke, just that most standard methods of reading them involve reading the movement, which is harder to spot via photos.

Is there any chance you remember how the candle was moving while it burned? If so, there’s a great guide about how to read candle flames. I’ll link it here:

From your pictures, it looks like the flame was very bright and reached high above the wax. Here’s what the guide says:

  • If the flame burns brightly, it is considered a sign of success.
  • Jumping candle flames represent that there is a lot of energy for the spell to work with and that raw emotions have been unleashed with the spell.

Do you perhaps still have the pool of wax that was left behind after the spell? If you take a picture of it (preferably a bird’s eye view from right above) and share it, I’d be happy to take a look!

Blessed be :sparkles:
