Many people come on this forum and ask questions for validation. It is not uncommon when starting out or new to question things and want to make sure, which is a good thing because you want to learn how to read signs and apply them to the work.
I think other people ask because they are shocked that it really does work and want to validate that aspect. A good steady burn is a good sign, a dancing flame is effecting the person as you read. have you tried dressing your own vigil candle? It may be a nice way for you to transition and add that to your work!
When I see signs I like to pray then to ask for movement so now that you got the sign keep the work up and ask for movement!!
This is the first book that ever explained candle divination signs in hoodoo and Spiritualist practices.
The Guiding Light to Power and Success by Mikhail Strabo, edited by Catherine Yronwode
This ground-breaking work was originally sold via ads in Black-owned newspapers, and it opened up a nation-wide conversation on the increasing importance of conjure work with candles. The author was a participant-observer and documentarian who respectfully verified the sources of his information from workers in the African-American Spiritual Church Movement, to compile a complete manual of home and church altar candle services for use in churches and by home practitioners. This famous hoodoo grimoire contains more than 50 candle and lamp spells for protection, love, wealth, and luck. Now, with 32 additional illustrated pages by editor catherine yronwode, The Guiding Light is back in print, bigger and better than ever. Chapters include: How to Set Up a Candle Altar, One-Candle Rites with Psalms, Seven-Candle Planetary Rites, Eight-Candle Sacred Octaves, Nine-Candle Catholic Novenas, Ten Ancient Oil Lamp Devotions, Twelve-Candle Zodiacal Rituals, How to Use Seals with Candles, and Candle-Magic Around the World. An inspirational occult classic, it remains a popular source-book to this day.
