Whenever I walk by lit candles the flame always leans towards me, even if there is no wind. Any help with that?

Your body heat creates a rising column of air, drawing air toward you. Or it could be magic.

Either way, no need to be creeped out.

Any way to stop it though? Cause it leans towards me even if I'm sitting on the couch and the candle is on the other side of the room.

Haha... instead of the moth being attracted to the flame... the flame is being attracted to the moth... lol...

That makes you a moth... lol...

Sorry... couldn't help myself... ;)

Candle flames leaning toward you from across the room is unusual. This would be a good one for a ghosthunter-type investigator to confirm. Simple enough to test: Set up several candles around an empty room, photograph them to confirm they are pointing straight up (e.g. no drafts). Then have you sit in the middle of the room. Videotape you, to verify you aren't moving around or anything. If the candles on different sides of you can be photographed as all pointing toward you, that would be a pretty freaky phenomenon, in that ordinarily, if they are all being affected by the same breeze, they would all point the same direction. The only way they would all point inward would be, as ordinaryguy suggested, an updraft, which ordinarily would require a substantial heat source.

Candle flames are susceptible to magic (and vice versa, which is why magical and spiritual people use candles so much). If this is a sign that you have some kind of magical energy flowing around your body, do you want it to go away? Or do you want to learn to harness it?

I'd prefer to harness it, I know that I've been told I have an affinity for fire by all my 'spiritual' friends...

I think it's a ghost attached to you

I say try the experiment and then let us all know what happens. We can even watch the video.:)

This is rather a very good thing. There is magic in you just like me. Its about elemental Magic or possibly Fire Magic that's makes the magic spirit within your mind cast it towards you which if you would know maybe later if you train on it you might control it.
