When the Flame Flickers

The flicker of a flame can feel alive, can’t it?
Ancient superstition says that a dancing flame means a spirit has joined you — perhaps curious, perhaps protective. Some cultures believed the flame was reading your mood, reflecting your heartbeat in its movement.

If the flame leans toward you, it’s said to show affection or approval. If it bends away, something in the room might be restless or uncertain.

Next time your candle trembles for no reason, pause. Maybe it’s simply reacting to energy — or maybe, something unseen just whispered hello.
