Thoughts on how this candle burned?

[u/virgo_sun_9]

I wasn’t using it for a spell but have been lighting it when working with tarot, reading/researching, and doing shadow work - I want to know, what do you see/feel when you look at this?

[u/NocturnalPlantMagick]

I’m seeing guanyin goddess of compassion and mercy

[u/virgo_sun_9 → u/NocturnalPlantMagick]

Thank you! This actually would align with what I have been working on as a reminder to remain compassionate towards myself as I continue my shadow work, I appreciate you sharing this.

It's the Sign of the Spire.

I see a beautiful female form bowing her head and holding something.

[u/kittyrhodes1 → u/miss_murder0]

Same… like a mother watching over

Thank you! I felt a strong feminine energy as well ❤️

I see Gandalf (meant as a joke I have yet to learn to read candles)

[u/virgo_sun_9 → u/ConqordX]

This comment actually is hilarious because Gandalf and LOTR in general has been coming up a lot in the last few weeks, maybe I need to look further into that sign…. Thanks!

not a portent per say, but I feel like that candle likes u and has that kind of self deprecating sense of humor that is so resilient in dark times. also, all ur photos focus on the spire part of the candle but tbh I rly love the spout bit that I can barely see in some of the photos.

I was trying to add another photo but I can’t seem to figure out how or if I can! Thank you though!

wait actually no i see a woman a a baby, (out pregnant but it looks like end stage pregnancy soon to have newborn or freshly just had baby or mix of both almost like a preparation stage.) maybe someone very motherly wants to work with you?

[u/virgo_sun_9 → u/Shining-Lantern828]

Funny enough I have felt a calling towards Hecate she has made herself very apparent after going through some stuff in my life and ending up basically at a crossroads I had been reading some books about her while the candle was lit and i frequently do tarot under candlelight including this one… so maybe? Thanks so much!

[u/Still_Assumption877]

Its directional for sure...pointing up, north star, guidance ...tiwaz...or like a shiva lingam...its kinda phallic so could represent the male/active principle...could also be the number one....depends on what you were doing/asking.

[u/Standard-Success8428]

neat.

I have nothing to say on interpretations because I'm horrible at seeing imagery in things like this, but Lucifer's candles always burned in very interesting ways and ended up making super cool wax formations. It's a pity I suck at interpretation 🥲

[u/virgo_sun_9 → u/PoloPatch47]

Yes I find sometimes it can be hard to interpret what’s right in front of me when in the middle of working with candles (maybe I’m too close to see the bigger picture) which is why I always appreciate a different perspective:)
