I did a love spell that used 5 candles. All 5 candles had strong flames, but one was also flickering, it was The first candle I lit. What does this mean?
There is a concept that candle flames do have a meaning and can be read by seeing how they look, burn, etc.
However, you do not necessarily need to give a lot of importance to the flame of the candle you saw while you cast the love spells you talked about. Simple as it can be, you can have your own statement about this subject and state that the shape, appearance or other features of the candle aren't important for you and have no meaning for you or for the spells you have cast, or, you can state that candle flame's features are meaningful and do have a very big importance and influence on your spell and on your life. So you can choose to try to make a candle flame reading or not by yourself, whatever you wish to do.
And now to the subject. Candle flames do have part in divination and other magical meanings and forms. Candle flames have a lot of concepts and various ways of reading from plenty of different traditions, where everyone has different ways to read candle flames, by observing the smoke forms, shape of the candle, its "spark", burning, etc. Some traditions might have different ways and beliefs about reading candle's flames by doing various things.
