Subject: How to read a candle flame

I've used candles in the past and they are no joke when it comes to spell cast. My question is: I would like to learn more on how to read the candle flame. Like what is it trying to tell me. Can I ask it questions and have it tell me. What can I do w/ the candles? I know how to feed them, dress, put energy in them. I know there is a lot more. I would like to be able to have a candle tell me things that I'm foreseeing. Things that I should be aware of. Things that go on behind my back.

Hi Dena. In order to use a candle flame for the purposes of divination, I find that success generally lies in the preparation. I meditate beforehand in order to make sure that I am fully open and then spend time focusing on the flame. It's then important to visualise opening up the mind - opening up so far that you feel your thinking exists both inside you and outside. Images or words will come to you and you will learn to get a feel for what is psychic energy and what isn't. To help you build this skill, I recommend keeping a notebook handy to write down all that comes to you so you can check later. Hope this helps x
