What is the spiritual meaning of yellow smoke from a candle?
Yellow smoke from a candle means some earthy, vibrant energy is right there around you.
This color also indicates a wedding and, for this reason, flowers are offered to the newlyweds; furthermore, we must not forget that nature is rich in yellows from flower corollas to shades of wheat, to the fruits that ripen on trees, to various grains such as corn and pollen; all these things are, among others, placed under the auspices of the Sun in magic and therefore used as offerings to the deities who represent its energies.
Yellow figures widely in mythological tales and reminds us, for example, of the golden fleece and of the Hesperides who lived in a garden on the western edge of the known world and looked after the trees with golden apples guarded by the snake Ladon (which is very reminiscent of the myth of Eden, where there was a snake that convinced Eve to eat the forbidden fruit).
Taking possession of the golden apples of the Hesperides was one of the twelve labors of Hercules (or Heracles in Greek).
These myths contain esoteric symbols of immense importance for the spiritual growth of the person who seeks himself but who can hardly be adequately addressed in a writing like this; it could also generate confusion in people who are unprepared or just curious about it.
Yellow esoterically indicates the active and creative principle associated with the masculine and, in mandalas, it often appears as a father’s symbol; in many cases, it indicates the development of autonomy and personality and a serene, positive, and balanced vision of life.
When this type of smoke shows up, it means there is a more mundane presence/energy around you, rather than a spiritual one, but it’s still a strong, powerful, and useful kind of energy.
Some people tend to underestimate this kind of energy that is more earthy and less spiritual but, on the contrary, it should be seen as a chance to reconnect with that energy and to direct your vibes and focus towards some specific magical and personal goals.
Yellow smoke is there to tell you something more as well, like that your craft is working and that you are about to attract what you need and want.
