How to Do Candle Wax Readings

Doing a candle wax reading can tell you if your spell worked or not. The way that you use candle wax is that you look at the shapes that it creates after it melts.

Using Candle Wax After a Spell

Even when you do a candle spell right, you will never know what the outcome will be. Doing a candle wax reading should be part of each candle spell that you do so that you can know how the spell went.

Candle Wax Reading

A candle wax reading can be used after the candle burns. You can look at the wax and see where the process of the spell is. Don’t be impatient waiting for the wax to form because it can be used at different stages that it burns at. If it burns in a negative way, it can mean that the spell had an obstacle and didn’t work. The spell has to be completed so that you can look at the wax if you choose to use it.

Tips for Candle Wax Readings

Doing a candle wax reading is like any other tool of divination. It is up to your intuition to guide you and to show you what the wax is trying to tell you. A general reading might not be interpreted from a particular spell but as you do more and more spells, you will be able to use interpretations based on what you experience.

• Clean Burning

When a candle burns all the wax then this can mean that the spell was given a complete yes. Most candles have some wax residue and if you don’t then this is a success in the spiritual world.

• Candle Wax Flow

Candle wax flow is the way that the melted wax moves when it flows over the candle. The flow can be limited or significant. It can depend on the kind of candle that you use but the flow of the wax can give you power behind your spell. The direction that the wax flows can show if your spell was successful or unsuccessful.

• Clockwise Candle Wax Flow

When candle wax flows clockwise it is a good sign that you are getting something good. If you cast a spell to get an object it is a sign the spell was successful.

• Counterclockwise Candle Wax Flow

When the candle wax flows counterclockwise it can mean that your spell didn’t work because the timing wasn’t right. It can mean a positive if you are doing an uncrossing or reversal spell.

• Cascade Candle Wax Flow

If the candle wax goes in a cascade motion or looks like a waterfall it can be a good sign that the spell has powerful energies behind it. It can mean the spell will go forward.

• Backflow Candle Wax

There are different ways that you can interpret the backflow of a candle wax as it begins to form a shape. This can mean it is changing its mind if it flows away. If the wax is hollow, it can mean that there is a reversal of the circumstances such as:

• • A promise was broken.
  • Things didn’t go as agreed.
  • The deal didn’t go through.
  • The commitment isn’t going to be followed through.
  • In a legal appeal it can be a new ruling will undo the one before.

• Curling Candle Wax Flow

Some candles will burn where one side of the candle will curl and fall over. This looks like a flower pedal or a wave. This can mean that there is inattention or ignorance in the wishes that you are making. It can mean that your spell is trying to comply with the wishes that you have. It can also mean that your will is taking over another person or the situation.

• Flooding Candle Wax Flow

When candle wax overflows it can mean that the spell has more impact than you thought it would. It shows that the candle can’t hold on to the power of the spell and it is moving at a force.

• Interpreting the Candle Flow

Candle flow, like candle flood, can be out of control and you have to look at your spell and your intentions to understand the results. If you are doing a spell for your job, it can mean that you are going to be in a place that is overwhelming to you, and it won’t let you be centered. In a love spell it can mean you will have a lot of emotions and be carried off your feet.

• Partial Burn Candle Flow

When the candle doesn’t burn evenly it can leave a partial wall. This can mean that you are unwilling to see the spell cast. It can also mean that someone is keeping a hold on their past and they don’t want to know the finality of their situation.

A partial burn can happen because of the strong emotions that you have when you do a spell, or it can mean that you don’t trust the spell. This can mean that you need to address your emotions and find out your real desires before you keep going.

• Scrying with Candle Wax

You can also do a candle wax reading with scrying. There are things you can do that are similar to other scrying techniques. You can use water and then drip the candle wax into the water to do a reading.

• Picking the Materials

You need to make sure that you find materials that are natural and part of the earth. These energies should be watered that is naturally and not filtered such as spring water. Here are some other materials you may need:

• • Candles (choose the right color for your spell).
  • Candle holders.
  • Matches or a lighter.
  • Paper.
  • Pencils.
  • White candle.
  • Scrying bowl.

• Pick the Right Color

Make sure that you choose the right color of the candle that will match the intentions of your spell. If you are doing a spell for finances, try a gold or green candle. For love choose pink or red.

• Cleanse Your Area

Cleanse your area and set your intentions before you do scrying. Set a ritual to cleanse your space such as using salt water, smudging or other ideas.

• Lighting the Candle

Light the white candle and put it in the candle holder.

Set a protective circle by meditating for a few minutes before you start your spell. This starts with your intentions and your thoughts.

• Fill the Bowl

Fill the scrying bowl with the water.

• Ask Your Question

Ask your question. You can write your question down but make sure that you are clear and detailed.

• Light Scrying Candle

You then need to light the candle that you have with your spell. Make sure that you keep speaking your intention when you light this candle.

• Focus on the Candle Wax

Focus on the wax as you add it to the scrying bowl. Notice the shapes that it forms. Write them down or draw them in your journal. Ask your guides to give you answers.
