Every flame speaks to your signs. What are yours?
Sun, Moon and Rising: the foundation of your birth chart
Cards and pendulums are not the only tools that reveal the future: many psychics use candles. Beyond their warm light, their flame carries a special meaning.
Definition, preparation, reading the flame and the wax: here is everything about candle reading.
✦
Since the dawn of time, humans have been fascinated by fire: it was used to keep spirits away, and to predict the weather so as to plan the harvest. The flame is the symbol of the soul, of purification and of the creator's love.
The art of reading a candle flame has a name: lychnomancy, from the Greek lychnos, “the lamp”. Practiced since Antiquity, it has a cousin, ceromancy, which reads the future in wax.
✦ ✦
Settle in the dark, away from any draft: a flame that goes out will owe nothing to the wind.
Rub them with olive or sweet almond oil to prepare them to receive your question.
Light the first one with a match, then the others from its flame, so the energy spreads.
The color of the candle guides the reading: a red candle speaks of the heart and passion. See the meaning of each color.

Ask your question, then watch the flame. Tradition credits it with fairly clear answers:
The answer is positive.
Energy is lacking: this is not the time.
Luck will smile on you soon.
Happy changes are coming.
Beware of excess.

You can also question the wax. Pour freshly melted wax into a bowl of cold water and watch the shape it takes as it sets: a tree announces projects coming true, a bell good news, a pipe a betrayal.
Tradition holds that you should keep a positive attitude during the session, as the candle amplifies thoughts and emotions. Sessions are short but intense: take breaks to rest your eyes, and entrust the reading to a psychic if you fear projecting your own wishes onto it.
