A candle wax reading lets you know how well your spell worked.

The
way the wax melts and any shapes it creates have various meanings
that provide information about your candle spell.

Candle Wax Reading to Assess Your Candle Spell

a
Even when you take the right steps and time to create a candle spell,

p
you can never predict the outcome. A candle wax reading proves to be a
valuable divination tool that should be part of every candle spell you

ee
cast. You should never use dripless candles since you won't end up with
any wax to read.

Overall Review of Candle Wax Reading

D
t,
A candle wax reading can be a continuous assessment made as the
o
candle burns. There is usually an ongoing change in the wax that can
give you a better understanding of the spell process. You don't want
ar

to be impatient if you see the wax forming in a negative way at

various burn stages. The negative form may be an indicator of the
_t

spell removing obstacles or other aspects of your spell. The spell

must be completed since only then can you accurately divine the
ne

wax.

Basic Candle Wax Reading Tips

di

A candle wax reading, like any divination art form, is dependent on

the individual's experience and intuition. You can use some very basic
candle reading guidelines, but you must always consider the type of
spell you cast. A basic general meaning may not adequately interpret
the wax formation for your particular spell. However, as you grow in
your spellwork, you'll be able to add to basic interpretations based on
 your experiences.
Clean Burning Candle Wax Meaning

A candle that burns all the wax is fairly rare. There is usually some
type of wax residue with almost every candle spell cast. If your candle
has a clean burn, then you've been given the rare wholehearted
approval of the spirit world and your spell is a success.

What Is a Candle Wax Flow in a Candle Spell?

ne

The candle wax flow is the movement of the melted wax when it
overflows. Depending on the type of candle you are using, such as a
vi

pillar, votive, tea, or taper, the flow may be significant or limited. The
direction of the wax flow holds important information about the power
di

behind your spell. The direction of the flow will tell you if your spell
was successful or if you need to recast your spell.

What Does a Clockwise Candle Wax Flow Mean?

The clockwise candle wax flow is a positive sign that you are attracting
something to you. If you cast a spell to bring something to you or to
 the object of your spell, then this is a sign that your spell was
successful.

What Does a Counterclockwise Candle Wax Flow Mean? A
ar

counterclockwise candle wax flow means that something is moving

away from you or the object of your spell. If you cast a spell to attract
something to you or an object, then this wax flow indicates the
_t

timing for your spell isn't right. However, if you cast a reversal or
uncrossing spell, this would indicate that your spell worked.

Meaning of Cascade Flow of Candle Wax Layers

vi

If the candle wax cascades down the candle in a flow that overlaps like
a step down or waterfall appearance, you can read the wax as an
di

indicator of change. If your spell is to usher in change, this is a good

sign. The changes are backed by powerful energies that topple onto
each other as the force pushes forward.

Candle Wax Backflow Meanings D
o t,
There are several ways to interpret the backflow of candle wax. A
backflow is created when the melted wax begins to form a shape, but
ar

the wax flows away as though changing its mind. The wax leaves a
unique hollow shape that resembles a shallow pool that has been
_t

drained of the wax. When you see a backflow form, it indicates a

reversal of circumstances or events. A few examples include:
ne

• Someone has broken their promise or commitment. •It might

vi

indicate that an agreed business deal won't go through.

di

•If it is a personal commitment like an engagement, the reading

indicates the person won't follow through.

•If it is a legal appeal, then it indicates the new ruling will undo the
previous one.
Candle Reading for Curling Wax
 Sometimes a candle will burn in such a way that one side of the candle
falls over and curls onto itself. This often looks like a petal on a flower
or an ocean wave. The wax curling indicates a form of inattention that
is ignorant of your desires or wishes. It can also indicate the object of
your spell is bending over backwards to comply with your wishes or
desires. The curling signifies your will slowly overpowering that of

a
another person, situation, or circumstances.

Candle Wax Floodings

vi

The overflow of wax can create a flood of wax that rushes over the
di

candle holder. If you experience this type of wax flooding, it

indicates the results of your spell will have a greater impact than
anticipated. It demonstrates that the candle was unable to contain
the power behind your spell and the force it gathered in its
manifestation.

Interpreting a Candle Wax Flood

A candle wax flood can be characterized as out-of-control. You must
examine the intention of your spell to assess how this flooding of
wax will impact the desired results. For example, if your spell is
 career
related, then there will be a greater result that may prove to be
overwhelming and unexpected. It will knock you off-center. If it is a
love spell, you may be completely swept off your feet and carried away
with emotions.

Candle Wax Reading for Partial Burn

p
If your candle doesn't burn evenly and part of the candle remains

ee
standing like a partial wall, it usually reflects an unwillingness to see
the spell cast. It can mean that someone is holding on to the past and

D
doesn't want a final conclusion to the situation or circumstance.

Reasons for Partial Burn

There are many emotional ties that can interfere with a candle spell
ne

and create a partial burning. There may be a lack of trust in the spell,
spellworker, desire, or future. A partial burning indicates very strong
emotions that may need to be addressed outside of a magical breaking
vi

down of resistance. If you're casting the spell for yourself, then you
need to dig deeper into your emotions and your true desire for the
di

outcome of the spell.

If you see some image of animal, angel or

anything that means to you, you can look for the
meaning of such animal and see what message it
 can be giving you. It is absolutely intuitive
message, so close your
eyes and just comprehend.

For example, in candle remain one is seeing LION face, other can see it as some

a
other sign from other angle or intuition, so you need to just see, first thought

p
coming out of it.
