What It Can Point To
- Air movement before spiritual message.
- A wick or wax pool that is not feeding evenly.
- Nervous energy around the question.
- Mixed pressure if the flicker repeats in a still room with a safe candle.
Details That Change the Meaning
Small flickerUsually air or normal candle movement.
Hard flicker to one sideCheck draft direction.
Flicker with poppingMoisture or material may be hitting flame.
Flicker then steadyThe burn settled. Do not over-read the start.
Before You Decide
Read the ordinary cause first. Then read the pattern. If you skip the ordinary cause, you will scare yourself and call it intuition. I do not work that way.
Move a flickering candle away from curtains, paper, hair, sleeves, bedding, and anything loose.
Better Questions
- Where is the air coming from?
- Is the wick centered?
- Am I nervous enough to over-read this?
