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

Psychic and Alternative Health Fairs

Several places in our communities hold Psychic Fairs. These events are successful in bringing the metaphysical world into the community. For those who are well versed in the metaphysical realm, these events are wonderful ways to gain in experience, socialize with similar people, and restock supplies. For those who are just beginning their mystical journey, this is a wonderful way to learn about the metaphysical realm, find advice, ask questions, discover new interests, as well as network. It is also a great way to find your niche by experimenting and see how it all works. These events are filled with mystical items for sale that can rarely be purchased elsewhere, as well as handmade goods, inspiring crafts. Of course there are also psychics, mediums, and teachers willing to give their experience and guidance. Lots of experienced mystics provide their services to customers (usually for a fee). Palm readers, tarot card readers, rune stone readers are often present at these gatherings...

Discover Your Inner Treasures Meditation

Discover Your Inner Treasures   Sit comfortably in a quiet place. Let your mind and body relax. Imagine you are approaching a calm shore line. The warm sunshine is warming your face. Your approach the shoreline and take a step into the water. It is the perfect temperature. You dive in and discover you can breather under the water. You swim deeper into the depths of the water. You see a treasure chest with your name on it. You open it to discover treasures representing your true dreams and goals. You grab these items and swim with them in your arms. You bring them to shore with you. Look at these items carefully. Are these items you wish to have? Are these life goals? What is holding you back? Stop holding yourself back, go for it! Achieve your dreams!
