I tend to play it a bit fast and loose with candles. I suppose I tend to see them as offerings to something. Often, that’s a deity, but sometimes it’s just an intent or something. For example, working on my intuitive abilities.
Anyway, following this thread:
I went and burnt another candle of the same type. (I had two, and both were broken. Sigh.)
And I ended up with this:
So, here’s a thought.
The candle was crooked from having been broken in three places. This would obviously affect how the wax falls and pools.
But does this mess with any possible readings?
Perhaps not.
Why did I wait until this moment to use this candle? I don’t know. I just felt like using it when I did. So, perhaps that was indeed the right moment for it.
In that case, what can we see here?
I can see death’s scythe, a nine-tailed fox, and a sexy lady rising out of something. Maybe my imagination is overactive.
As for what they mean…
Perhaps death’s scythe is all about transformation, endings, and reaping the rewards of something. As we’re currently moving to our new place that we bought, I guess that’s the obvious connection.
The nine-tailed fox could be about wisdom, cunning, and spiritual enlightenment. And the sexy woman, who is probably Lilith, is probably pointing towards some kind of emergence, self-discovery, transformation, and rebirth.
More broadly, that could all mean I’m at a point where letting go of old patterns and using my wisdom and adaptability will lead to personal transformation. Maybe?
Anyway, it’s been fun… But I’ll have to put further exploration on pause until I make some candles of my own.
