In witchcraft, many people believe that the speed at which a magick candle burns can give information about the energy and possible outcome of a spell. Watching how quickly or slowly a candle burns may help you understand how your intentions are taking shape.
If a candle burns quickly, it is often seen as a sign that your spell is working efficiently and that results could appear soon. However, if the candle burns much faster than normal, it might mean that the spell will work, but the effects may not last long. In these cases, you may want to wait before repeating the spell, unless you only need a quick, temporary result.
If a candle burns very slowly, this can suggest that there are obstacles, or that the energy is moving more slowly. This may mean you need to be patient, or that you should review your intentions, the materials you used, or the timing of your spell.
For example, if you are doing a spell for quick financial help, a fast-burning candle could be a good sign. But if you want long-term stability or protection, a candle that burns slowly and steadily may be better.
Interpreting candle burn speed is a personal process. It is helpful to use your own judgement, think about the purpose of your spell, and reflect on your intentions. Writing down your observations in a journal can help you notice patterns and improve your understanding over time.
