Readers Questions | Candle Burn Meaning of “Tear Drops”

Hi,
Thanks for all your posts and wonderful (and educational) information about candle spells!
I’d like to ask: When a candle leaves “tear drops” (along one side, or two, or more), is this a positive sign or negative sign? Also, if the “tears” accumulate to form a column, and don’t burn away when the candle is finished?
Thanks & blessings

When you say “tear drops”, I am assuming it is the liquified wax running down a a candle side, right? This is the only idea that I have come to mind when you say “tear drops”. If you are experiencing actual watery-like “tear”, then I would not know and would probably first call the candle manufacturer to ask what it might be, then get a divination if it cannot be explained.
So for the sake of argument, we’ll say it is the wax that has been turned into liquid because of the heat of the flame. This could only happen with a free standing candle (not a glass encased candle). When you look at the shape of the candle, it is in a tapered conical shape, to allow the wax to run down the sides of the candle to pool at the base. This is necessary as to keep all the liquid wax up at the flame would “drown” the wick and snuff the flame. This has been explained in past post regarding proper candle construction with candle crafter Stan, from Wizardcraft Technologies (search in older posts).
You also asked about these candle drips forming a column on one side that do not burn down when the candle is finished. This is the basis of candle divination. What is the shape looking like and what was the original situation that caused you to burn a candle? You can either take your candle (plate, petition and all) to a local worker or maybe sit alone yourself and stare at the candle ad try to determine what the shape was.
Good Luck. Let us know the outcome!
J.
