Candle Flame Monitor

Interpret the language of fire with the Candle Flame Monitor. This digital divination tool uses your device’s camera to analyze the behavior of a ritual candle flame in real-time. By tracking flicker rate, intensity, and stability, it provides a modern interpretation of the ancient art of Pyromancy (fire gazing).

For centuries, mystics have gazed into fires to seek answers from the spirit world. The way a flame behaves—whether it burns tall and steady, flickers wildly, or sputters out—is believed to convey messages from spirits or indicate the success of a spell. This tool bridges the gap between old-world magic and modern technology.

How the Monitor Works

The tool offers two modes of operation:

• Camera Monitor: Uses your webcam or phone camera to watch a real candle. It detects subtle changes in light intensity (flicker) that might be invisible to the naked eye, plotting them on a live graph.
• Simulation Mode: If you don’t have a candle handy, this mode generates a digital flame that reacts to “ethereal winds” (randomized algorithms), allowing you to practice interpretation or perform a digital divination session.

Interpreting the Graph

As the session runs, the graph will display the flame’s activity level:

• Flat Green Line (Steady): Indicates a calm, focused energy. Your petition is being received clearly without resistance.
• Small Yellow Spikes (Active): Suggests that energy is building or that spirits are present and communicating.
• Large Red Spikes (Wild): Represents chaotic energy, strong resistance, or a very powerful, emphatic message.

Instructions

1. Set Up: Place a lit candle in a draft-free area.
2. Align: Click “Start Camera Monitor” and position your device so the flame is visible in the viewfinder.
3. Focus: Meditate on your question or intention while the tool monitors the flame.
4. Review: Click “End Ritual” to generate a session report, which summarizes the flame’s behavior and offers an interpretation of the results.
