The Signs when watching the Candle's Flame~

Strong Flame -The power that you are calling forth is moving into our desires for manifestation. This strong flame shows strength in the user or object of the spell.

Weak Flame - On a figure candle, this could mean that the subject is loosing the battle. This can also show that you are facing strong opposition and your magick may have to be repeated to be achieved.

Jumping Flame - This can indicate explosions or bursts of energy being transmitted. Raw emotions or chaotic energies could be at work. An argument could be taking place or a heated discussion. 

Rainbow Flame - If your flame is composed of  various colors, the elemental  is  communicating with respect to the color codes. Meaning that the energies  are so strong that the corresponding color on the spectrum is manifesting in the Salamander (the flame ) . 

The Direction

The smoke of the flame can tell us a lot. Know the elements and their directions

North Flame- with the element of Earth can indicate that true manifestation will be revealed, a physical happening is occurring. Physical labor  can be indicated or a need for stability. If it concerns a health question, you may want a second opinion or be cautious and pay more attention to your health or even that a check up is indicated. If its about finances, be sure your checkbook is in order, make sure you are not allowing frivolous spending habits destroy your savings and too, that you have balanced it within the last month!

South Flame- is the direction of the element of Fire. This is an excellent sign as it may be said to be bringing it directly to the head honcho!!! If it concerns health, a recovery will be imminent. If it concerns love, a passionate love affair is on its way shortly. If it concerns the home, you will find new ideas and the energy to expedite these. If concerned about work, success is on its way! You must be careful with this. As it all sounds wonderful, you must remember, fire can burn if you get too  close, so keep your head on your shoulders through this whirlwind and you should be fine.

East Flame- the element of Air is involved and there will be some mental as opposed to physical labor involved. Its telling you to sit and follow your head in this situation. Practice logic and patience. Think before you speak. A waiting period. No rash decisions! If applied correctly,success will be yours. 

West Flame- the element of Water, you have emotions literally flooding everywhere. It could indicate a period of intense emotions in whatever your desire is. A warning of excess could be indicated. You could be too close to the situation and need to back off it for awhile.

Or it could indicate  that you need to clarify this thing more. Ground yourself. Clear off the emotional aspect of it and look more towards the thinking part. Write all this down in your journal and again, each candle and wish is different, learn to apply it to the present wish.

You must remember the desire when interpreting these signs and apply them to the situation. Sometimes you may not get what you want to hear or see. Learn to incorporate all of the signs you are given. Separate them when searching them out and then learn how they all interact together.

You may get a completely different answer when applied to another of the signs. Also, too, step back then and do some more thinking. Did you clear and calm yourself first? Have you got some leftover emotions hanging out there? Are you willing the candle? Is your attention totally focused? Are you truly being honest with yourself?

These and many other things must be considered when communicating with your candle. Use your journal like a second skin and write it all down and try it again.  On a different day, at a different time. Notice the slight similarities and differences and apply them to the desire and the way in which you approached it this night. You would be amazed at what you end up reading!
