Candle Divination: Flame, Wick, Wax, Glass, Remains

[luvinginthecity]

Hi everyone!

@MissMichaele, @lostinbigd and @ JayDee

I appreciate all of the feedback. This morning before re-lighting my candles I noticed that the wic was folded into the wax, like a mini loop. So I gently lifted it and the burnt part fell off. I relit them this morning and prayed more intently in front of them. I'm not really good at chanting mantras and visualization for long periods of time, so I just talk to them and let them be. I also cleaned my altar and refreshed my offerings. The flame was still tiny and barely noticeable; but I gave it more time and this afternoon the flame is much better and more active. It's fluttering all over the place. There is still a good amount of was on this side around the sides, so it may be the quality of the candle, dunno.

Thanks for the help. I am slowly reading the amazing articles on this site!

[MissMichaele]

luvinginthecity, I just wanted to reassure you that "just talking to" your candles is a legitimate and effective way to pray over them.

When a candle has a spark, what does that mean?

WhiteWitch81,

Hello,

I'm probably posting in the wrong thread, but hopefully not. I mean, it isn't really an intentional reading - but perhaps falls under divination in a sense.

I was feelig very discouraged about a simple petition spell I had cast and was just going to burn the petition paper and move on. I've always preferred to use matches, not lighters. The first two matches were duds - the lit heads flew off them and immediately extinguished mid-air. The third I took care lighting it, and it self extinguished before coming into contact with the paper I lit a candle with the same box of matches a couple of hours later with no problems, and I'm half way through the box so I know it's not full of dud matches.

I took it as a sign to keep my petition. Do you think this is the correct sign? Or maybe I'm meant to dispose of it a different way?

Hello LittleyMe,

I have moved your post to the topic on candle divination, as you are asking about signs. Although technically you're not asking about candle signs, it is close enough to your query to be a more appropriate location on the forum vs. your original choice.

We do not provide divination on the forum, therefore I can't answer your question. I suggest you get a reading from a qualified practitioner to get a better understanding of this situation and what kind of message it may be sending you. You can find readers here:

I hope this helps. Good luck.

I did a honey jar and burnt a white candle on top. While it was burning, there were trails of wax that actually eventually started to look like two people like kissing or dancing I even took pictures because I wanted to show everyone here.. however the wax figures of what looks like a couple is not even melting away as the candle is burning. Any input on this would be really greatly appreciated as I have never seen this before

[Miss Athena]

Hello 0asis,

I'm sorry but we do not provide candle divination on the forum.

My 7 day candle burned fast, and I’m taking it as a good sign given my circumstances but I’m really puzzled about how it burned.

On three sides there’s very very thin clear wax on the glass... along with 5 rings. The candle was a dark green. I understand that rings can be a time frame? But the wax on the sides is concerning me. They look kind of ripple like too. I’m not asking for a candle divination just want confirmation that 3 full rings and 2 broken rings = time and delays ?

[Miss Athena]

Hello LaJaguarina,

Wax remains on the side of the glass usually indicate some kind of obstacle or delay.

If you want a detailed reading on your candle burn, you can hire someone from AIRR to interpret the results for you. Find them here:

Good luck.

Hello everybody. I’m hoping to get a little insight to the candles I just burned. I burned 2 for the same target. I scrolled thru this thread and didn’t find anything to this specific issue.

1) I did a white skull candle for a narcissist to see his own wickedness. The skull started burning fast. By the time I snuffed it out (3 hours later) there was only half the skull left. The flame was burning low like it was about to go out. I know this part isn’t the greatest meaning. The candle itself burned only in the middle. I’m not sure if this means there’s walls creating obstacles, resistance, or that’s the way skull candles burn. Can anybody give me their own personal experience with a skull candle?

2) I’m trying to do a black penis spell to make him impotent. I didn’t have a black penis candle just a regular black candle so I used that for now until my order comes in. I commanded it that it was his penis and carved his name and dob on it. I also wrote it was his penis. I put his semen, commanding oil, dominating oil on it with licorice root and calamus root. The candle burnt almost all the way down (there’s maybe about an inch left from the 6” candle) and looked “limp”. Of course there was wax running down that side of the candle. I can’t find anywhere why it would look that way. Can it be because I prayed for his penis to be limp with other women except me? Is this a good sign? Sorry but I couldn’t find anything regarding a “limp” looking candle.

Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

[Miss Athena]

Hello newwitch2018,

We do not offer personalized candle divination on the forum, however I can offer you some general insights.

When a skull candle burns down the middle leaving the sides of the skull intact, it indicates obstacles. You can repeat the spell or choose another method of working and see what results you get.

When a free-standing candle burns but not entirely complete, leaving part of the candle base intact, it also indicates obstacles. You can repeat this spell when you get your correct candle.

If you want more information on candle magic divination, please read the following page:
http://www.luckymojo.com/candlemagicdivination.html

If you would like a personalized reading on the remains of your two spells, you can hire someone from AIRR who can provide more detailed divination.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

[LaJaguarina]

If someone did spell work to bring a couple closer together and the wax residue forms a clear number “3” would that symbolize a certain amount of time?

[MissMichaele]

Jaguarina,
It might - or it might symbolize a third party -- either a "Miss Thing" or a baby! Look for other shapes in the wax that might hint at "three what, exactly?" If there is no illumination there, us another method of divination, one you can rely on to tell you the truth -- or schedule an appointment with a trustworthy reader.

[Ana_banana1738]

I recently did a break up spell and on all 5 days out of 7 I had a clean burn, but on the 6th day it formed “trail of tears” and on the final 7th day my black candle wax dripped and formed a perfect half heart and the other half looked like it was bleeding out. I’m curious to know what that means. I take it as a positive sign.

[Miss Athena]

Hello Ana_banana1738,

I have moved your post to the thread on candle divination, as you were posting in the wrong topic.

We do not perform individual candle divination on the forum. If you are interested in interpreting the wax results from your candle, you can get a reading from a member of AIRR, who can give you a clearer view:

Hello, I just finished a hoodoo separation spell with a black candle on top of brown petition paper, which I placed inside a glass bowl. The candle burned down nicely, with the leftover wax covering some of the petition paper. About an hour later, I was ready to leave and throw it at a crossroads, but some names on the paper were still visible, so I decided to burn the paper some more so nosey people won't see it. The flames engulfed the inside of the bowl at this point. About 5 mins in, the bowl got too hot to handle the high temperature which caused the bowl to explode and break. Please tell me this was MY fault and not related to the spell!

[Terra Rising]

musclequeen378,

Please do not edit your subject line when posting.

It's really difficult to say what happened without a reading. As for the spell, I would redo it and be ready to dispose of the petition in a fire safe container. I also like to burn petitions by lighting an appropriate incense on top and then disposing the candle remains and ashes together. Just an idea.

Good luck to you and don't lose heart.

[catherineyronwode]

musclequeen378,

When folks mess up a spell through untrained use of the tools of spell craft -- burning candles in non-fire-safe ways or brewing herb-teas from toxic plants -- the bad outcome does not present me with a choice between two possibilities. True, i am often asked if the bad oucome was the practitioner's fault for carelessness or if it was an omen of the spell's bad outcome. To my way of thinking, and in my experience, i choose BOTH: It was your fault for recklessly undertaking work of a serious nature without training in basic physical operation of the materials AND the catastrophe signifies a bad or unwanted outcome to the spell.

By analogy, let's say that you drove a car before you had gotten training in how to do it, and you made a wreck. You couldn't say, "This car wreck is not my fault because i didn't really know how to drive" and you also couldn't say, "It's not really a car wreck because i actually didn't know how to drive." It's actually BOTH your fault AND it's a car wreck.

Like Terra said, don't lose heart -- you CAN learn and you can look back on this messed up spell with laughter -- because at least you did not burn your house down and you were unharmed. But ...

I would also like to suggest that you buy this simple 96-page book, "The Art of Hoodoo Candle Magic" -- because for a mere $9.00 it will set you on the path to well-trained candle magic:

BOO-GRI-AHCM
The Art of Hoodoo Candle Magic by catherine yronwode and Mikhail Strabo

Hello! I know you don't do personal divination so I won't give any specifics, and it will be a couple weeks at least until my next reading. I was wondering, what does wax shaped as an ear (while the candle was burning still) traditionally mean? I've searched the boards, but couldn't find anything.

[Miss Athena]

Hello brighteyes,

It could mean that one has heard a message, or that one should pay more attention to what's being said, or that one is being deaf to a situation, or something else entirely. It really needs to be put into context of the work being done, the stubbornness of the target, and a host of other possible influences. Your reading should help to clarify this.

Good luck.

[brighteyes]

Thank you Miss Athena, I appreciate your insight. I will keep notes of everything so I have context for my next reading.

[coastwitch]

brighteyes,

If your reader will accept photos, do as I do and take a picture of unusual wax formations, then send them to the reader a day or two before the reading This advice was given to me about five years ago and it has helped me a lot. I hope it is of help to you.

[ChunLi718]

I packed a skull candle with picture of my lover & I, petition, etc.

1) The picture ended up burning only the side he was on. I did not take as a bad sign but was the picture suppose to get burned as well?

2) Wax then burned and and what was left was remaining perfectly flat no flows or anything etc. I wonder if there is any significance to that.

[Miss Athena]

Hello ChunLi718,

Welcome to the Lucky Mojo forum! We're glad to see you here.

It's fine that the picture ended up getting burned. I take that a sign that Spirit has heard your petition. Don't worry about it.

No significance to your wax remains. Deploy them appropriately (you can bury them in your front yard to bring someone to you, or in your back yard to keep someone with you.

I hope this helps. Good luck.
