Okay, so I’ve been wanting to try out this whole tarot candles thing for a while now, and I finally took the plunge. I’ve always been intrigued by tarot, and the idea of combining it with candles just seemed super cool. So, here’s how it went down.
Getting Ready
First off, I had to gather all my stuff. I already had a tarot deck that my friend gave me a while back. I picked up some candles from a local shop – just regular ones, nothing fancy. I also grabbed a lighter and a little notebook to jot down my thoughts. I made sure I had a quiet space where I wouldn’t be disturbed. You know, gotta set the mood, right?
Setting Up
I cleared off my coffee table and laid out a nice cloth – just a simple one I had lying around. Then, I placed the candles in a little circle. I lit them one by one, trying to focus on my intention. I didn’t really have a specific question in mind, just wanted to see what the cards and candles would reveal to me.
The Reading
With the candles flickering, I shuffled my tarot deck. I closed my eyes for a moment, took a deep breath, and started drawing cards. I laid them out in a simple three-card spread – past, present, future. I flipped them over one by one. I got The Star for the past, The Lovers for the present, and The World for the future. Pretty interesting, huh?
Candle Watching
Now comes the candle part. I just sat there and watched the candles burn. I noticed how the flames danced and flickered. Sometimes they were tall and strong, other times they were small and gentle. I tried to see if I could spot any shapes or patterns in the wax as it melted. It was kind of mesmerizing, to be honest.
Jotting Down Notes
As I watched, I started writing down whatever came to mind in my notebook. Thoughts about the cards, feelings about the candle flames, random ideas that popped into my head. It was like a little stream of consciousness, just letting it all flow out.
Wrapping Up
After a while, the candles started to burn low. I decided it was time to wrap things up. I carefully blew out the candles, one by one. I took a few moments to just sit in the quiet and reflect on the whole experience.
Final Thoughts
Honestly, it was a really cool experience. I don’t know if I got any major revelations or anything, but it was definitely relaxing and thought-provoking. I think I’ll definitely be doing this again. Maybe next time I’ll try it with a specific question in mind and see what happens. It’s like a fun little ritual, a way to connect with myself and maybe tap into something a little deeper. Who knows, maybe there’s something to this tarot candles thing after all!
