Candle Flames - A New Language
Symbolism shows itself everywhere. Even candle flames hold their own messages. Here are a few symbolic portents and symbolism’s of candle flame based on Appalachian lore as well as other esoteric parables:
-
Accidentally tipping over a candle (aside from being alarmingly dangerous) is a sign of a wedding or partnership to come
-
Flame curling or looping at the tip is a portent that someone is talking about you (are your ears burning too?)
-
Blinking or sputtering flames are a plea to take a break, be patient otherwise you may be disappointed
-
A flame moving or swaying from side to side is a portent for travel opportunities on their way to you
-
Travelers will be coming to you if the flame is burning straight and tall
-
Predominance of blue within the flame indicates a frost is coming and/or you are being paid a visit from a non-local energy
-
Not being able to light a candle supposedly foretells a storm will blow over
