I got to talk to my gods.
So whenever I light a candle in my house, the flame always slowly flickers and then starts burning in a very tiny flame. Yesterday when I lit the candle, two of the flames were literally two inches tall and wiggling around like crazy, but the third just burned slow and low, as normal. That’s never happened. So I thought huh… I might try to talk to the candle.
I started by saying that wiggles mean yes, being still means no. I figured, well, it might actually be one of my gods that’s mad at me for not doing jack shit in months. So I asked, “Is it Anubis?” and both flames of the candle went totally still, but were still incredibly tall. Okay, that’s a no. “Is it Hades?” One flame wiggled around and started to shrink, the other was tall and still. “Okay… is it also Persephone?” Lots of wiggles and the flame started to shrink!
So I asked questions. I asked about my godly interactions and Hades told me I need to work with someone else. I listed off various Hellenic gods. (It’s funny to me, when I said Hermes, the candle went totally still and even shrunk. That’s a hard no, I guess!) But when I said Apollon, both flames started growing and flickering. Alright, I can do that!
Eventually I got to the point where I realized they may want more in depth communication. “Do you want me to do a tarot reading for you two?” Both were very wiggly. “Hades, do you want a single card concerning our relationship?” Totally still. “Three card spread guided by you?” Very wiggly! Alright, cool. “Persephone, do you want the single card?” Extra wiggly! So I did the readings, Hades said, “You’re stressed, sad, worried about money, but things are gonna be awesome soon”. Thank you, Hades. Persephone’s single card said, “Talk to me more, please”. Can do.
Keep in mind, this whole time, the third flame is just burning like normal, no movement or growth or shrinkage so I know it wasn’t the air moving it or anything. The other two flames were moving independently. It was so cool.
