Interpreting candle signs is a broad folkloric practice that encompasses at least three types of divination: Pyromancy (divination by fire), ceromancy (divination by wax) and capromancy (divination by smoke). Wax signs. If wax remains after the burn, take a look at it to see if there are any shapes or symbols within it. There are many resources, including online sources and books, that can help provide meaning into the images that you see during your candle reading. It is important to remember that the most important interpretation comes from within you. Trust in your instincts and tap into what a particular image means most to you. Start with your own intuition and experience before looking up a symbol.

Numbers can indicate days, weeks, months or even years. Letters can represent clues to a person’s name or place. A circle could indicate the end of a cycle, such as a completed project. A cluster of dots might indicate a group of people. If there is one formation sitting a distance from the rest of the drippings it could represent isolation or going off on a distant trip. There are no right or wrong ways to interpret the candle wax… have some fun with it! If you are doing a working for attracting a lover and the second flame seems to rise out of the wax your working will be successful especially if both flames grow into one large flame. An uneven burn can signal that someone or something is working against you. Add more concentration and energy to the spell. (Or withdraw if you sense the resistance is too great.) However, the indication of an “eye” may have different indications depending on what your belief may be and what your intuition is telling you. Some psychic interpretations of seeing an eye in a shape or clairvoyantly may indicate: – evil eye; – associated with the third eye; – a need to see what you are doing; – to see what is happening; – to see what you are getting into; – the eyes or windows into the soul; or –“seeing is believing”.

Sometimes we have multiple ideas and even a little dissonance about what we are doing. It’s important to have a clear idea about what you think, what you feel, and what you want. Spirit is not going to make that decision for you in candle magic. Maybe you need some healing or energy work to cleanse yourself to remove negative or hurtful past ideas so you can start fresh.

Set Clear Intentions: Before lighting the candle, take a moment to set a clear intention for your candle wax reading. What question or concern would you like insights into? Formulate it in your mind.The shapes taken on by the solidifying wax are called persistent images. After a candle burns, the puddle that is left should be observed for any significance to the spell it was used with. For example, if you have conducted a love-drawing spell, a heart-shaped wax puddle is a good sign. If you are burning a candle as part of a money-drawing ritual and the wax spills over onto your altar and dries on your monetary offering, the spell is working and the money has been blessed.

TIP: Let the spirit complete its work, something important may be in the works that you do not want to interrupt. If you are uncomfortable ask the spirit to protect the candle or ask for permission and try to extinguish it again.
