What It Can Point To
- Flame Goes Out in protection should be checked physically first. Possible ordinary causes include drowning wick, draft, wax flood or short wick.
- If the candle is unstable, the reading stops. A bad burn is not worth a damaged room.
- After the physical check, the flame can be read as emphasis, resistance or movement in the work. Still, do not confuse fear with confirmation.
- Stop the candle if glass cracks, flame climbs too high, smoke becomes heavy, wax spills near the edge or the setup feels uncontrolled.
- Ask what the burn is showing about the work after the physical causes are removed. Do not use the flame to force certainty out of fear.

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.
