Candle magick is one of the simplest and yet one of the most elusive types of magick. It is easily set up through the use of colored candles, blessed oils and a little bit of positive intention and energy but sometimes the results are hard to decipher. Often the clues to your answer are so subtle that they lay in the flicker of a candle flame, the soot on your candle glass or the smoke your candle emits. Below are some of the signs you may choose to use to interpret the results of your candle magick and understand it better.



Flame:



Flame Action Meaning

Flame goes out Try again, the time is not right. Dispose of the candle and do not reuse.

Flame is large and hot Power is manifesting in favor of your desire- prayer will work.

Flame is weak Battle is being lost; facing strong opposition- repeat the prayer again.

Flame flickers There is indecisiveness in the process or in yourself.

Flame jumps repeatedly Bursts of energy, uncontrolled emotions, chaotic energies.

Candle breaks Try again, the time is not right. Dispose of candle and do not reuse.

Candle burns slowly or almost goes out Task requires caution and due process. Many obstacles to overcome. Reassess.

Candle burns out quickly Task needed fast energy or the goal was simple and easy.

Flame is multicolored A salamander seeks to communicate with you through the use of color codes. Salamander energy is strong.

Black soot develops The burning away of negativity and barriers- highly positive.

Crackling sounds A salamander is pleading your case for you- the louder the sounds, the stronger the opposition.





Movement of smoke:



Movement Meaning

Smoke wafts toward you Prayer is acknowledged.

Smoke moves South Intense and short manifestation is in the process; success comes quickly and intensely.

Holders or Glass:



Action Meaning

Glass breaks Work is being done against you. For uncrossing and jinx removing, spell has been broken.

Glass remains clear Prayer is granted in spite of opposition.

Glass turns black at top but is clear at bottom Someone is working against you. The darker the glass, the stronger the opposition. Persevere.

(I personally think that sometimes the glass turns black cause the holder is cheap, but hey, that's me. The rest is interesting, though) Hugs and blessings,
