I’m new to candle magic and wanted to share to get insight. Please be kind - I am still learning.

My mental health could be better at the moment and I have been feeling as if it is affecting my relationship. I am definitely overthinking things.
I decided to do a spell with three candles - blue (my mental health) yellow (draw in happiness and positivity) and orange (add vitality/new energy into my relationship).
I’m curious what are folks interpretations.
My intuition is telling me that the spell is confirming that my mental health is indeed creating issues in my relationship, rather than the relationship actually having issues.
The blue candle burned so much faster and the flame was so much bigger. It started burning uneven and as the candle burned I saw two wicks were actually part it. One wick burned out and now the candle is finally burning stable and even again with the one wick.
The yellow is burning second fastest and the wax is starting to leak into the blue wax drippings. The orange is remaining steady and slowly burning, no wax drippings.

Did a banishment and protection yin-yang spell today. The flames were high but took turns. It fascinating to watch and connect to. I felt an rife to pull some tarot cards which brought great clarity.
Fellow witches, how do I interpret the wax on the black candle? In the end, the white candle burned perfectly but there was residue on the black candle facing East.

Dark is divine: What colour are Indian gods and goddesses?
"All the images of the popular gods and goddesses that we see around us, photographs in our home shrines or prayer halls, online, on calendars, stickers and posters in shops and pasted behind auto-rickshaws, all show them to be light-skinned."
In a culture obsessed with fairness, Mr Sundar points out that even Krishna, who is described as a dark-skinned god in the scriptures, is often shown as fair. And so is the elephant-headed Ganesha, even though there are no white elephants in India.
"Everyone here prefers fair skin. But I am a dark-skinned person and all my friends are dark-skinned too. So how do I identify with fair-skinned gods and goddesses?"
To fight this disconnect, Mr Sundar, who is based in the southern city of Chennai, teamed up with photographer Naresh Nil and the two have come up with "Dark is Divine" - a project that portrays gods and goddesses with a darker skin colour.
