There are some characteristics about reading and interpreting the candle flame that you need to know before practicing the divinatory art. Find out then what its symbolism is, what Ceromancy is about and what are the possible interferences – and how to avoid them.


In addition to representing the connection with the Sacred, whether through angels, saints or deities, the candle flame is also a symbol of hope, life and strength. The candle flame is a symbol of light, it is to ward off darkness and, consequently, allows you to acquire a new look or perspective on the situation, life or the world.

The candle flame can be associated with different symbolisms, but the main one is the illumination and the presence of the divine, often being associated even as a link between the immaterial and the material. Precisely because of this, it can serve as a tool for the divinatory art. The best-known form of divination that uses flames is Ceromancy.


Ceromancy is the oracle through reading the candle, to answer questions, clear doubts, receive signs or follow the effect of a spell or request. It can be done with candle wax – its shape, if it burned completely or if it cried a lot – as well as it can be performed through the flame.

The candle flame gives clearer and more forceful signals than wax, showing the paths and helping to find answers to the most varied situations. But be careful, as this reading may be influenced by external factors.


The candle flame tends to move if there is any air current in the place where it is lit. Therefore, it is important to find a quiet environment to practice with her. Likewise, manufacturing time can also influence the way the flame burns the candle.

In addition to the date of manufacture and air currents, the quality of the candle will also affect the interpretation. That’s because, when the old candle is burned, it tends to fail, giving room for grief and introspection.

The candle flame can present itself in different ways, from small and delicate to even more imposing. Know what each of these cases means and understand the angels’ message for you.


If, after asking a question, the candle flame is high and strong, then this means a resounding yes or positive message. This goes for when analyzing the effectiveness of a spell or prayer. If the flame is like this, it is a sign that your request has been heard and will be fulfilled.


Upon receiving a question from you, the flame may start to flicker and be much higher than normal. That’s a positive sign, but you need more conviction. When it comes to a prayer or spell, the flickering candle flame, however high, indicates a high chance that it will be carried out, however, you will find some instabilities.


When the candle flame is high and stopped, then the answer is positive. Does it mean that your question will have a proper solution or simply say yes. If the flame is like this after a request, prayer or spell, then this is also a positive sign, that the result will come, even if it may take time.


Sometimes, the candle flame can be very low, as if it was not going to light. If it’s not a problem with the candle itself, it’s a sign that you have to make a greater effort for the request to come true, representing a “maybe” or “it depends” as an answer.


If the windows are closed and there is no air passage and the candle flame is flickering too much, then your answer is not exactly a negative, but it does indicate that your objective will take work. However, if the candle was used for a prayer, request or magic, then it’s a sign that you need to clear the energies of the environment before continuing.


The sparks in the candle flame are signs of resistance, difficulties. Maybe something has been bothering you lately. If sparks appear in the candle used in a spell or request, then it means attack, that is, some energy is contrary to what you are doing and acting to prevent it.


The black smoke that comes out of the candle flame means purification, the elimination of something that was harming you and opening up to new paths. During a spell or prayer, she means that there are bad energies that are trying to stop you, but without achieving your intention.


Instability is the response you are getting when the candle flame keeps rising and falling after you ask a question. It could also represent a lack of focus on your intention during the prayer or spell, needing to make sure your mind doesn’t jump between thoughts. Keep your intention straight.


It can also happen that the candle flame appears slightly bluish after you ask the question and this means that the situation requires patience and perseverance. In the case of a spell or prayer, it can even be performed, but it will depend more on your efforts than on divine help.


When the candle flame becomes yellowish after asking a question, it is a sign that prosperity, abundance and happiness are on the way. When this also happens in the spell or prayer, then it means that there are many chances that it will work out, with prosperous and positive results.


The candle flame, when in reddish tone, represents vigor, passion, energy. On the other hand, it can also represent anger, so pay attention to the context of your question. The reddish flame in a spell or prayer could be a sign from your guide or guardian angel that everything is going to be okay, your request is being heard.


The candle flame may become brighter than usual, showing that your response is positive.
If used in a spell or prayer, it’s a great sign that it will be performed soon, just needing more patience.


If the candle flame you used to ask a question happens to be much brighter than usual, expect a positive answer to your question soon. In a spell or prayer, it is a sign that good energies are working in your favor, leading to much better results than you expect.


If, when asking a question, the candle flame starts to move in a spiral, then it means that there is no right answer, as things are still shaping up.

If this is the case with a prayer or spell, then notice whether it is spiraling to the right or left. If it goes to the right, you’re getting outside help, if it goes counterclockwise, then you need to do some cleaning before continuing.


If, as you concentrate and ask your question, the candle flame becomes very clear and with increasing luminosity, it is a sign of positivity, but it may take some time to achieve your goal. In a spell or prayer, it represents an increase in the force involved and a greater concentration of your intention in the process.

Every divinatory art has its specificities, and it is important to pay attention to them if you want to get a more accurate answer. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding their use and interpretation, and some tips on how to better interpret the candle flame.


Other forms of oracle usually require much more study, dedication and knowledge to be able to read. However, the candle flame can be one of the simplest and most effective ways to seek to understand the future, clear doubts, have a tip for the day or even check if a spell is being done correctly.

In this way, anyone can interpret the flames, as long as they are concentrated and try to listen to their intuition. Asking for help from your guardian angel or guide can also help you interpret correctly, noticing nuances that without them would pass without you noticing.

For this, it is important that you have a calm mind and are open to different answers than expected. This way, it will not direct the question to paths that are already pre-established. Remember that the idea is to find answers and be sure and not just confirm your point of view and your intentions about what was asked.


If your question is about the type of candle – regular, seven-day, stick or scented – the answer is yes, no problem. However, regardless of the type chosen, it is essential that it has gone through the consecration process first. After all, she will be a communication tool with the Sacred, so she must be energetically ready for this.

To consecrate your candle, clean the base and candle with sage, rue, coffee or similar incense. Next, she holds the candle at the base and concentrates her energy, with both hands around it, mentalizing it as a link between the material and the Sacred. If you want, she can bathe in lavender oil, from bottom to top, without wetting the wick.

Never reuse candles that have already been consecrated for purposes other than prayer. In other words, if you use a candle for a spell or a specific question, don’t reuse it to use as an oracle. It must be eliminated, along with the other materials, as it is infused with energy and intent. Candles consecrated and used only for prayer work very well.
