Candle Flame Meaning

While burning, spiritual candle flames can speak a language of their own, and you can learn to interpret it with time and effort. 

Sometimes you must have wondered why that candle is acting so strange? Below we will give you the explanation of what a flame does. Keep an eye on it! 

If you try this, ensure there is no draft in the room because even if you walk past it, a flame goes back and forth. So, sit 2 meters away from it because the flame can also be affected if you breathe in and out.

Take the regular thin candle 2.02 cm, no stumps or larger. If you have a thick stump candle, then take a new one, the first 2/5 cm of a new candle is still possible. 

When the candle is halfway through, it no longer gets enough oxygen and goes back and forth, meaning nothing.

With the Xenos, they also have pillar candles of 4.5 cm thickness and 10 cm long and they burn out completely.

The disadvantage of pillar candles that are thicker than 5 cm is that you can always throw away half of it or you have to make new candles out of it.

You can do that again in a knott on roll of kitchen paper just the right size.

How to interpret the candle flame?

Candle flame meaning if it moves or dances

• What does a dancing candle flame mean?

Dancing flame signifies high energy in a spell. In addition, it means confused energy.

A big dancing flame proposes achievement, however, with potential entanglements.

A little dancing flame means the spell might be overpowered by restricting powers. There might be different wills deliberately or unwittingly neutralizing you. Watch the fire near and check whether its shape or movement uncovers anything to you.

• Flickering candle flame meaning

A flickering candle flame is announcing the arrival of a spirit. In A Little Book of Candle Magic, author DJ Conway explains that a flickering or sputtering candle’s communications can be interpreted by the four compass points.

– If Candle Flame points NORTH

The north represents physical manifestation, symbolizing purity, purity, innocence, inner growth, death, and rebirth, and is paradoxical.

– If Candle Flame points to the EAST

The east always stands for birth. The east symbolizes new life, a new beginning, the power of creation, optimism, vision, hope, and clarity.

– If Candle Flame points WEST

The west stands for maturity, for inner strength, for the healing of all your wounds. It is the place of love, an open heart, and you can see where life has really brought you.

– If Candle Flame points to the SOUTH

The south stands for initiation, it stands for your youth, the direction of pure life without any restraint. It is the direction of innocence and the direction of losing your innocence, to come to responsibility. The south is action. And from the action where you have met the full life.

Types of Candle Flame

• Strong flame

If your candle burns solidly, it means that power and energy are going to your manifestation, which is an excellent sign.

• Weak flame

There is opposition, the ritual will probably have to be performed a few more times to achieve the intended success.

• Jumping flame

There are raw emotions, and an explosion of energy is taking place.

Different Meaning of a Candle Flame

– If your candle flame burns firmly:

That is a good sign, because it shows that all the power and energy will be used for your purpose.

– The flame vibrates for no apparent reason:  

This signifies that your current state changes.

– The tip of the fire tongue has a light color:  

This means success, happiness and improvement of the current situation. (But if the glow lasts for a while, the windfall may also take time)

– The flame trembles and is uncertain:

This means a coming disappointment.

– The flame is small and gives little light: 

You should be careful when making decisions.

– Flame describes a spiral / revolves around its axis: 

This indicates the presence of people who want to bring evil to your house.

– Flame is slender, seems to want to turn down:  

This is a sign of danger.

– The flame is very narrow and high (15-20 cm):  

This may mean someone is cheating on you, or it can also mean that you will get a financial benefit in the future.

– The flame seems to dance and moves in different ways: 

This mean that an ‘energy’ is happy that contact was established and would like to provide comfort or advice.

– Sudden quenching without cause:

This could mean a disaster report. If the flame goes a bit more gradually, this is a sign that it is better to start again by setting your goal and to prepare better. It could also be that someone is working against it.

– Extinguishing flame:  

Your goal is missed, it is best to start over again, and this time set your intentions more carefully. It may also be that someone is trying to stop your creation.

This means you are listened to carefully.

It may be that someone from the spirit world is communicating with you. Try to tune into this sound so that you understand what is being said.

Is there a disagreement or quarrel about your intention/purpose of burning the candle?              

– The flame crackles softly and irregularly:

This means the spirit world communicates with you; the thoughts are pure.

– The flame is regularly but mildly crackling: 

 Someone has authority; someone gives orders.

How to interpret Candle Flame Number Spiritual Meaning?

13 Candle flame Numbers interpretation

Numbers are important with various forms of magic, including with magic candles. 

If you believe in a higher power or an energy that connects us, then it is good to put 1 apart for this in addition to the number of candles that you burn.

1 candle: this is for “one” purpose, 1 person, 1 prayer, or for the beginning of something. 1 candle is a direct question!

2 candles: this brings balance and keeps the energy of the candles in the house. For a romantic dinner where the atmosphere and the contact between two people must remain there, you burn 2 candles.

3 candles: is for divine power, for balance, for love that is not physical …. all good consists of 3.

4 candles: is for balance with groups, family etc. Here too, the energy stays where it is already present. 4 is earthly (4 points of the compass) and is also used for the progress of material things.

5 candles: is for friends (group balance + 1 for the higher), but also for repairing setbacks.

6 candles: this may be controversial …. for some, 6 is the number of evil. Others, see it as a perfect number because it is the sum of its own factors (1,2,3) and the product of 2×3. Six is used for domestic matters and balance. I never burn 6 candles myself, unless it is 2x 3 and this is clearly visible in the color or location of the candles.

7 candles: seven is often used for occult matters. 7 is the number of the unseen, the philosophical and the spiritual. Reverse or neutralize.

8 candles: I have not yet lit a fire. The number 8 is a continuous number, 2 zeros on each other or 2×4 and stands for willpower and individuality. According to some, it is also the number of regrets, and you could use 8 candles to make up for something.

9 candles: Nine is for everything that is finite … is perfect, or to achieve this. The number 9 is the ultimate number and is considered a special number with sacred meaning. Nine is also the transition number.

11 candles: is for the special consciousness, balancing between good and evil.

12 candles: is for powerful completeness. There are 12 months, 12 zodiac signs.

13 candles: for some, it is the calling of misfortune and bad friends, but I also hear many people for whom this number means the opposite. Sometimes it is very useful to know which color belongs to which day. Certainly, if you want to burn a candle for something that needs extra light and/or warmth in the near future. Even when you want to pick out a color of candles for a special day … or you don’t know how to choose a color for a special ritual.

Why does the flame of a candle dance?

Here, we will explain what it means when the flame of a candle is restless.

When the flame of a candle dances a lot or makes movements, it is indicating us that we have little support and that we could be victim of betrayals, or it indicates the presence of negative energies caused by enemies.

When this situation occurs, the candle indicates that we should act with caution and pay attention to our surroundings.

We remind you to be cautious when lighting a candle to avoid any damage or problems such as fire.

Keep candles away from children.

Finally, I want to give some advice! A general rule is that everything you give will come back to you.

This does not only apply to all positive things, but also in other areas. Remember this very well in advance!!
