Mystical Techniques: Ceromancy

Candles can light your way through divination.

The art of Ceromancy is a divination technique that involves dropping melted candle wax into cold water. The shapes of the solidified wax within the water are interpreted into symbols that hold meanings. The drippings along the candlestick hold meaning as well as the shape of the burning flames. Try out the exercise below but beware when working with hot candle wax, you can be burned:

1. Take two candles and tie them together with a scarlet ribbon.

2. Either place them upright in a bowl of cold water or hold them at an angle, so the hot wax will be able to drip directly into the water. Now light them.

3. Interpret the solidified wax droplets. There are a few traditional meanings for symbols (see below) but other shapes will be up to your personal intuitive interpretation.

Traditional Interpretations of Wax Drops

Bird: news is coming

Circle or ring: It is time for reconciliation

Chain: go ahead with your plans

Cross: you are protected

Splayed fan: a surprise is coming your way

Moon: Money is approaching

Heart: friendship will become love

Table: an abundance of blessings for you and your family
