Wish
If, during a ritual to fulfill a wish, the candle begins to make a crackling noise and black smoke begins to appear, this is a favorable sign. This is how fire clears space and removes negative events from the path. A person’s energy is cleansed so that he can accept his desire. After some time, after the candle begins to smoke, the flame will become as clean as it was. This means that the wish will come true. And if the candle continues to burn with black smoke, it means that its fulfillment is not coming soon, or the person is not ready to accept his own desire.
Why does the candle “cry”? How to determine your energy state by a candle flame
Orthodox believers light candles to honor the memory of the departed, bless the living and pray for blessings for relatives. Honest and righteous people strive to bestow kind words on those around them and pacify even those who wish them harm. Unpleasant situations often occur when a candle suddenly goes out, falls to the floor, or starts making a cracking sound. Many regard this from a negative point of view, begin to worry and worry, considering the imminent arrival of troubles inevitable.
Diseases
Why does a candle smoke black when used during a ritual to get rid of an illness? This fact should be alarming. Pay attention to exactly when the black smoke and flickering of the candle began. If immediately after lighting, the problem is in the composition of the candle. If initially it burned evenly, and after it was brought to the human body, it began to smoke - this is an alarming sign. During diagnostics, it is important to notice where on the body the candle’s burning has changed. This place is the probable source of the disease. If the flame was burning, and then began to smoke and suddenly went out, it’s bad. It is likely that the person is terminally ill. Also, black smoke from a candle can signal closed energy channels.
The candle went out or began to crackle
Among ordinary laity, there are several common beliefs about this, despite the fact that the Church itself rejects such myths. History knows a number of inexplicable events associated with a candle that went out or began to crack. To deny such facts or believe in them is an individual matter for everyone.
If a candle falls in the temple, you need to pick it up, cross yourself and light it again
An extinguished candle is considered by some people as a sign of a loss of connection with the Almighty Father, since it is through the flame that thoughts are transmitted from the believer to God. An extinguished fire indicates that prayers will not be heard.
There are a large number of reasons leading to this problem. Many people are afraid and frightened by the crackling sound of a wax candle, believing that it is “burning” with evil energy. This is another superstition that you should not believe in. Candle cracking occurs due to additives that are placed in the wax.
And yet, when installing a candle in a church or in a home iconostasis, you must remember about safety precautions. You should be careful and concentrated, without thinking about any useless things. The mind of a believer who comes to worship should turn only to the Lord, who always protects his faithful servants from troubles.
On a note! When making requests to the Almighty Creator, you must be as open and sincere as possible. It is better for an Orthodox believer if he does not hide his sins, but sincerely repents of them.
And under no circumstances should a person lose faith, daily continuing to occupy his mind with prayers and thanks for the peace given by God.
Energy and aura
Living fire can be used to diagnose not only negative energy, but also a person’s aura. The process of burning a wax candle symbolizes the destruction of gaps in the aura, the stirring of energy stagnation. Watching a living fire, a person releases internal energy, relaxes and plunges into a meditative state. Purification by fire in this case is carried out after the client has realized his purpose and accepted karma. The desire to become better and to benefit people should settle in his soul. He may even have to change his lifestyle to receive the positive effects of living fire therapy.
Church candle
The clergy do not recognize the existence of energy. It is believed that candles in church rituals serve to cleanse the soul and heart. Purification is carried out with the help of faith and prayer, and fire is only their conductor. The Lord, if he wants to sell a sign, will choose a different method for this, which will be impossible to confuse with anything. Why does a church candle smoke at home? No, this is not the machinations of the devil, but the poor quality of the candle itself. And assigning sacred meaning and superstitions to black smoke is a sin that leads to a lack of trust in God.
Folk beliefs associated with candles
When the Lord wants something from a person, he gives him a sign that cannot be confused with anything else. Sometimes a church candle actually smokes because the quality is not very good. But most often there are reasons, and they are related to esotericism. Some not very reasonable people are trying to use church candles to perform dubious rituals. This is wrong, and a person who does such things should understand what he may face for it.
It is permissible to use a church candle for home prayer, to cleanse yourself, your family and your home from negativity. It can be illness, energy disorders, or dark entities. Of course, when a person is far from all this, in case of illness it is better for him to consult a doctor. But sincere prayer and cleansing of energy will not harm him in any case.
When carrying out cleaning, it is necessary to read a prayer (preferably “Our Father”) and baptize the problem area with a candle. This is true in many cases. When a person cleanses himself, he needs to baptize himself with a candle; when his home, he needs to baptize the floor, walls and ceiling in sequence; when another person, he needs to baptize him. If the candle continues to smoke, you need to repeat the procedure. Sometimes the candle may crackle - this means that there is a lot of negative energy in this place.
Usually, during this process, carbon deposits form on the candle; it must be carefully removed and thrown away, since it is also negative, only in a bound state. Upon completion of cleaning, the candle begins to burn with an even and clean flame without any soot. If the soot continues to fall, this is a reason to more carefully check the problem area. This can result in a persistent negative impact on a person, for example, damage, the evil eye or a curse that needs to be removed.
The fire of a church candle not only burns out negative energy, but also calms. To do this, you just need to sit quietly, looking at the flame, until your soul feels better.
Cleaning the room
Negative energy in an apartment or house appears when people living in it quarrel a lot. It happens that someone dies or an evil enemy causes “damage” to the home and the people in it. Then the owner (or mistress) of the house takes a burning candle in his hands and walks around the room clockwise, stopping at the corners. Why are candles smoked at home? It often happens that a candle smokes indoors, especially in places deprived of light. According to beliefs, this is where negativity is concentrated. It is necessary to walk around the room several times with a candle and prayer so that its light becomes even. Then the house is considered cleansed - you can start new things in it and live without fear. After the procedure, it is recommended to treat the brownie and animals in the house with a tasty treat. They help maintain beneficial energy in the home.
goes out
Candles lit for health may go out and turn black due to the presence of serious troubles and health problems in the person for whom they are lit.
If you placed it for repose and it stops burning, perhaps the soul of the deceased is offended by you. Sincere repentance and asking for forgiveness can help here. A funeral candle can also go out if the soul of the deceased feels at ease and calms down, having passed on to another world.
For a person who lights a candle and says a prayer not from the heart, it will always go out.
Additional meanings
It happens that a candle begins to flicker during the ritual. This process indicates a person’s weak will, his unwillingness to get rid of negativity or fulfill a desire. When a candle burns slower than by standard standards, or goes out suddenly, the person’s desire is not sincere. In cases of working with energy, this indicates that the person has serious problems with the aura or an incurable illness. Pay attention to the person’s desire to fulfill his destiny, whether he has accepted karma to the end and whether he is ready to change his life to achieve the desired result. When a candle burns out faster than expected, this is a sign that the energy message to fulfill the plan is too strong. There is a risk of an excess of energy towards the fulfillment of desire, which will only bring disappointment. To work with subtle bodies, the rapid burning of a candle means a strong desire to help the esotericist. You need to moderate your ardor and calm down. This way you can better tune in to the same wavelength as the client and help him more effectively.
An explosion of a candle symbolizes an excess of negative energy. In this case, you will have to clean the room several times, and when working with a person’s personal energy, you will have to think carefully about his condition. Perhaps his health is in real danger and requires immediate intervention from medical specialists. If the candle begins to “cry” (drops flow down it) - take a closer look at them, they probably contain additional information according to your request. Sounds, hissing, crackling, buzzing - all this indicates that energy pressure was applied to the person. It is possible to correct the situation by cleansing, but this process will take time.
Should you be afraid of black smoke from a candle in your apartment?
A person far from esotericism or an atheist, of course, has nothing to fear. They simply do not perceive the degree of danger. And for some, the devil himself is not a brother. Not believing in anything sacred, such a person thereby creates good energy protection for himself. A person who sincerely believes can rely on God, and he will be rewarded according to his faith. However, if a person has a suspicion that something is wrong in the house, but he himself does not do the cleaning, and at the same time the strength of faith leaves much to be desired, he can invite a good psychic or a priest to clean the room to consecrate the room.
As a conclusion, we can say that it is imperative to take into account the above-mentioned physical reasons why a candle smokes, which also occur. Only by excluding them should we consider esotericism.
The science
Skipping work with human energy and subtle bodies, let us turn to the physical phenomenon of burning a candle. There are factors according to which, if a candle smokes, then:
1. There may be a draft near the flame. Air currents stir the fire, the volume of the flame decreases. The fuel burns at varying speeds and different amounts of combustion products are released into the air. So, soot may appear, as if a larger amount of fuel is burned.
2. When using closed candlesticks, when oxygen comes only from above, there is a possibility of soot appearing. It turns out that when trying to take in oxygen and release combustion products into the air, two flows collide. So the candle begins to smoke. This can be corrected by introducing oxygen to the flame in a different way (with an open candlestick, for example).
3. Trimming the wick will help avoid smoking and uneven burning. If the flame is uneven and combustion products are released, it is enough to cut the wick by 6-8 millimeters. It is also relevant if you plan to burn the candle for a long time.
main reason
And the most common reason why a candle smokes black smoke is the poor quality of the material from which it is made. It is known that most church candles are melted down products. They collect a lot of foreign substances, which is why church candles are smoked more often. How to choose a quality candle?
1. It should smell like wax. Most products in mass markets have aromatic impurities or no smell at all (paraffin candles).
2. It is rough and pleasant to the touch. If you cut it, it looks like plasticine and does not crumble.
3. A high-quality candle burns evenly, does not “cry”, and a drop of melted wax forms inside. It contains no impurities of other substances, the combustion of which causes black smoke. If you bring the flame to the glass, there will be no soot left on its surface, only a slight darkening is possible.
4. A product made of high-quality wax bends when pressed, does not break or crumble. After fading, it leaves a unique aroma of melted wax in the air.
