Candles represent hope, spiritual light, and the fragile nature of illumination in darkness. A single candle in darkness suggests hope persisting against overwhelming odds. A candle being extinguished may indicate losing hope or spiritual direction. Many candles together suggest communal hope or celebration. The flame of a candle represents the individual soul or consciousness. Birthday candles connect to wishes and aging.
Purple
Purple combines the stability of blue with the energy of red, representing spirituality, royalty, wisdom, and mystical transformation. In dreams, purple often appears during spiritual growth or when higher consciousness is being accessed. Purple clothing may represent spiritual authority.
