The article will tell you about what wax fortune telling is and teach you how to correctly interpret the meanings of wax symbols.

Fortune telling on wax is a classic way to "look into the future" or find out as much "secret" information about your fate as possible. Divination in this way is quite simple: just prepare everything you need for the procession and have a list of interpretations for each figurine (cast in wax).

Divination on wax is often also called "wax casting". This method took its origin a long time ago in ancient times (Greece, Egypt). It is worth noting that such divination is not given to everyone and not the first time. It is necessary to have a good imagination and a desire to see the meaning in patterns, shapes, symbols.

This process requires you to have a minimum amount of paraphernalia: dishes with water and a candle that needs to be lit. Many spend such fortune-telling in the dark by candlelight, and also place a mirror on the table to attract the power of the other world. Although, this is not required. A lit candle should be raised above the water and hot wax should be allowed to drip there, forming figures on the surface, which require interpretation.

How to prepare for divination:

  • It is better to choose dishes that are wide and deep enough (so that the wax pattern is larger and more detailed).
  • Cookware with a dark bottom will allow you to see the wax designs more clearly, especially in the dark when candlelight is dim.
  • For divination, choose a candle that is not too thin and not too short so that it can burn for a long time.
  • Before fortune-telling, accurately determine your goal, formulate questions in your head or your requirements.

IMPORTANT: There is an opinion that you should choose a candle for divination, focusing on what exactly you want to know. So a red candle is suitable for love divination, a green one for divination about health or financial status (like a gold one). It is also allowed to use several candles at the same time.

How to pour wax:

  • Bring a lit candle clearly to the center of the bowl
  • Tilt the candle over the water so that the drops of wax drip clearly into the center.
  • Hold the candle straight and do not move it from side to side

IMPORTANT: It is believed that while you hold a candle above the water, you charge it with your personal energy and this is how information about your destiny is read. It is best to tell fortunes at Christmas and Epiphany (Christmas time), these dates are considered the most mystical throughout the year.

Video: "Fortune telling on wax and wax figures"

You need to take an ordinary candle, colored or simple, and a bowl of water. It is better to insert a candle into a candlestick so as not to drip the tablecloth and save the wax. When the candle flares up and the wax flows, it is tilted over the water and the wax is allowed to drain. You can do this two or three times, so that a sufficient number of drops freeze in the water. The resulting figures are taken out and interpreted. You can also turn off the light in the room, alternately bring the figures to a candle or lamp and, slightly turning them to the sides, examine their shadows on the wall.

If in a bowl, in addition to a few large figures, many small round droplets have formed, this is for money. The more droplets, the better. It is worse if there is nothing besides them: there are no large figures - there are no important plots.

Large figures are judged by associations caused by themselves or their shadows. Associations should arise spontaneously: let your imagination run wild!

Second way

For this divination, you will need several candles, better than wax ones, but regular paraffin ones are also suitable. If you manage to get multi-colored candles, then very well. It is believed that the most accurate result is obtained when using red candles.

Leave one candle for melting, and light the rest and put it around - the flickering flame of candles will help create the right atmosphere for divination, surround you with an aura of mystery. In addition to candles, you will also need a cup and a deep plate or bowl of cold water to cool the melted wax.

Before starting fortune-telling, break the left candle into small pieces and put them in a large metal, enamel or clay spoon. Heat this spoon on one of the burning candles until the pieces of wax or paraffin are completely melted and turn into a liquid. Now quickly pour the contents of the spoon into a container of cold water and see what happens.

Hardening, hot wax forms a variety of bizarre figures, according to which you, with the help of your boundless imagination, determine what awaits you in the future. Every image that you see in the hardened wax, yes means something, predicts your fate for the next year.

You should give free rein to your imagination and just follow the associations that will be born in your brain, and this will be the best and most accurate prediction.

Candles have special magical properties, which, of course, could not go unnoticed. Even in Russia, divination with wax and water was popular, which was most often carried out on Christmas Eve. European women also predicted the future by wax no less actively.

Fortune telling on wax from a candle

Today, wax divination is also popular, especially among young girls. The main advantage of this way to know the future is its simplicity. Melted wax, falling into the water, solidifies and takes on the shape of a figure. To unravel the symbolic meaning of the resulting figure is the task of a fortuneteller. When conducting fortune-telling on wax, the meaning of symbols cannot always be unraveled the first time. However, perseverance in this matter will certainly lead to the desired result.

Fortune telling with wax on the water

In order to know your fate with the help of a candle, long preparations are not needed. For such fortune-telling, a simple minimum set is enough:

  1. Large wax candle
  2. Matchbox
  3. Bowl of cold water (water should not be ice cold)

Only the patience of a fortuneteller can be added to this list. To get the result, you need a sufficient amount of melted wax, which means that the candle should burn for a long time.

Experienced fortune tellers advise choosing multi-colored candles so that it is easier to see the outline of the resulting figure against the background of a light bowl. In addition, you need to ask a question of interest in advance. The color of the candle used also depends on the nature of the question. For love relationships, a red or pink candle is suitable, for questions about health - a green one. Financial issues are best resolved using a gilded candle. With this approach, the meaning of wax figures during divination will be as accurate as possible.

It is very important during divination to look at the flame of a candle. The flame will tell you something about the divination mood:

  • A candle that was lit quickly and without problems, which burns remarkably well, is a good sign.
  • A candle that hisses, sparks, or makes other noises may mean that you will receive a very important message.
  • A candle that burns very slowly and burns very sluggishly is not a good sign.
  • A candle that does not light up means that you should stop guessing and reschedule this event for another day.

To find out what awaits you in the future, you need to bring the resulting wax figure to the wall / door (any vertical surface). The shadow that will be cast will form a new figure that will signify your future.

Christmas divination on wax

You can guess on wax at any time, but the most suitable time for this is New Year's Eve and Christmas time. Previously, for Christmas divination, it was advised to choose special places that should enhance the effect. The girls went to abandoned houses, a bathhouse, a barn, a basement, a canopy, an attic or a cemetery. It was necessary to guess without belts and pectoral crosses, the hair was loosened, and the knots on the clothes were untied.

Christmas divination on wax consisted of pouring molten wax into water, after which some kind of figurine was obtained. Figures with a bad value were thrown to the pigs or buried in the ground, and with a good one they were kept until the next divination.

Fortune telling on wax: interpretation of figures

For girls who conduct divination on wax, the designation of the figures is of the greatest importance. It is on the basis of the resulting figure that you can try to predict your future.

After the wax has got into the water and hardened, it is necessary to carefully study its shape and determine which particular object it is closer to. It is very important to give free rein to your imagination. The wax figurine can be viewed directly in the bowl or taken out of the water and examined from different angles. Having decided on the type of figure obtained, you can begin to interpret this symbol. When divining with wax, a variety of figures can be obtained - animals, flowers, trees, human images, the sun, mythical creatures and much more.

The dog symbolizes a faithful comrade who is next to you. Such a fortune-telling result suggests that you also know how to make friends and highly value friendships. You yourself always strive to help loved ones, so you can safely count on support in any situation. The wax dog acts as a hint: it's time to recruit a team (if you haven't already) - together you can solve many problems and achieve incredible results.

The figure of a dog standing on its hind legs means that some loved one needs your help.

Seeing such a figure, you can safely prepare for good news, one way or another related to water. In addition, after such fortune-telling, acquaintance with foreigners becomes more likely. The silent and mysterious fish also speaks of the presence or imminent appearance in your life of a slightly mysterious, laconic and wise adviser or mentor. Even if it will not be easy, it is still worth listening to his words and recommendations.

The wax heart, of course, speaks of love. It is love that will occupy your thoughts in the near future, and no other problems can bother you anymore. With almost one hundred percent probability, we can say that your feelings will not go unnoticed and unshared.

The shape of a cast heart can additionally tell a lot about love. A favorable sign that predicts happy love can be considered a distinct heart shape with sharp boundaries. If the heart is veined, the shape is indistinct or consists of several parts - this is a bad, alarming sign that warns of a possible danger.

The wax figure in the form of an elephant has several meanings. This symbol indicates that you are a strong person with a significant supply of vital energy. You are walking with a firm and confident step along the right path, but you must not ignore the people around you, otherwise luck may turn away from you. This sign also shows that there are well-wishers behind your back, that is, people who are always ready to help and support, shifting part of your duties and problems onto their shoulders. In addition, the wax elephant indicates your excellent physical shape and at the same time warns that intense and excessive loads are unacceptable and can harm you, depriving you of all your former opportunities.

In a word, the elephant symbolizes strength, perseverance and confidence in the correctness of the chosen methods to achieve the goal. To avoid collapse, it is worth being prudent and avoid using your exceptional strength to the detriment of others.

If during fortune-telling you saw a wax flower, this indicates the beginning of an extremely favorable period in your life, filled with a series of joyful events. Everything you have planned will certainly come true. The people around you will rejoice at your luck, and you will definitely share with every piece of your luck.

The flower also suggests that you may get married or meet a new and very reliable partner.

Flowers are a very auspicious sign, symbolizing changes for the better, success in everything: dreams come true, sometimes even exorbitant ambitions are realized. Regardless of what wax flowers turned out during divination, they always talk about your spiritual inescapable joy, with which you easily share with people around you. Flowers also show that you have many friends who are always happy to talk with you. Flowers are a symbol of your beautiful and happy future.

If a girl conducts divination on wax, a rose may seem to her more often than other flowers. This speaks of love that already lives in the heart of a fortuneteller or will appear there in the near future. If you see a wax rose, don't be afraid to open your heart to a new feeling.

A sign that gives hope, indicating that there are enough internal resources to achieve the goals set. You are strong in spirit, stand firmly on your feet, open to the world around you and draw strength from it.

Reliability, stability, strength and fortitude will certainly help in your affairs and in solving problems that arise.

snake - cobra

The snake is a symbol that is interpreted in different ways: wisdom, strength, and also a sign of danger. On the one hand, this sign symbolizes wisdom and the ability to find a way out of difficult life situations. On the other hand, the sign of the snake warns of danger, someone's treachery, for which your personal relationships may become a target. The whole reason is the dangerous and insidious enemies around you.

The embryo speaks of any deeds conceived and the desire to bring them to life.

Since ancient times, fortune-telling on wax has been a favorite way to find out the future for all segments of the population. Peasant women, merchants, noblewomen - everyone wanted to know to look behind the veil of secrecy and find out the unknown. Of course, noble ladies could afford to visit fortune-tellers who take money for predictions, while poor girls were left with only home fortune-telling - and yet interest in wax predictions never waned.

Even now, in the age of enlightenment, we continue to turn to candles for help and advice.

General information

What is required for fortune-telling, when is it best to do it, what can and cannot be done in the process? Previously, when knowledge was passed from mother to daughter, such questions did not arise. We have to consider the whole process from beginning to end.

Reasons for the popularity of divination on wax and water

The fact that candles are used in more than half of the currently known ways to tell fortunes is hardly surprising, because they combine several powerful energy substances at once.

Wax itself is a material saturated with vitality through and through. In addition, a burning candle is also fire, and, as you know, it is the most unbridled and honest of the elements. Their combination and endows candles with their unique properties.

However, in addition to deep hidden meanings, the popularity of candle fortune-telling has a much more mundane reason: accessibility.

Unlike more complex ways to know the future, this one does not require serious material costs, but with the right approach, it gives an impressive result.

What is a casting

There are a lot of process options and interpretations. They vary depending on the purpose of the ritual, the seriousness of the approach to it and accessibility, however, they all have the main and main stage - the creation of a casting.

Casting- This is an irregularly shaped object obtained in the process of divination by pouring molten material into cold water and solidifying it in it.

In more complex versions, castings are made of soft low-melting metals, however, in our case, wax will act as a material.

Appointment of divination on a candle

First of all, in order to look behind the veil of secrecy and peep into the future at least with one eye, to find out what dangers and obstacles lie in wait on the path of life, what should be feared, what to bypass, and what, on the contrary, will bring good shoots.

This ritual has another purpose - detection and removal of damage, the evil eye and other negative energy imprints, intentionally or accidentally "sewn" to the human aura.

Suitable time for the ceremony

You can perform the ritual at any time. But if you are aimed at obtaining reliable results that are not distorted by the influence of external factors, it should be borne in mind that there are favorable and unfavorable periods for fortune telling on wax figures. When choosing the time, it is worth paying attention to some recommendations.

It's best to wait until the sun goes down night sky communication with higher powers is more fruitful.

moon phase has the meaning. The ritual gains its greatest strength on the full moon, but another interpretation, on the contrary, calls the "blind sky" - the new moon - the most appropriate time.

There are certain days suitable for divination. Historically, it so happened that girls and women guessed at Christmas time and Christmas. It is on these days that you will be able to come closest to the secrets of fate along the path trodden by your ancestors.

Required Items

Before you start casting, you need to purchase and prepare everything that can be useful in the process. This should be taken care of in advance, communication with the Universe does not tolerate fuss and secondariness.

To conduct a fortune-telling ritual on wax and water, you will need:

Let's consider each of the points in more detail.

Wax

If candle fortune telling is nothing more than entertainment for you, you can use paraffin bought in a general store. However, if you want to get a full answer to a serious question, do not look for easy ways. Wax should be natural, absorbing the power of nature.

Perfect fit melted church candles or wax, bought directly from beekeepers. The latter option is even preferable when you are going to guess the future, because in this case it will not undergo almost any processing and will pass a minimum number of hands, which means it is less likely to acquire an imprint of someone else's energy.

On the other hand, the wax purchased in the temple is imbued with a special fertile power, and with its help it is much easier to detect the evil eye and damage.

Water

When choosing water, the same principle applies as with wax. You can fill a vessel from a tap, and this will not lead to a catastrophe and the extinction of mankind from supernatural cataclysms. However, if you are in the mood for a serious conversation with higher powers, it is better to opt for saint, baptismal or charmed water. These options are most suitable for removing negative influences, evil eye and damage.

In the absence of these or for divination for the future, they are suitable melted snow or spring water. Such water is saturated with the energy of nature and carries a particle of universal power. But be careful - natural water can be capricious and strongly influenced from outside.

Do not place the liquid prepared for the ritual next to trash can, dirty dishes or worse, TV.

Water and melting tanks

It is better to take dishes from natural materials.

But don't get carried away. I assure you, melting wax over a candle in a wooden spoon will be somewhat problematic.

We should not forget about elementary convenience, so choose enough wide and deep water container.

For melting, take with a long handle, sufficient in volume so that the contents do not splash out, but not too large so that this very contents does not have to be scraped off the walls.

A candle that will burn in the process

The candle must be lit all the time. On it we will melt the future casting.

The sacred purpose lies in an additional connection with higher powers. In addition, the measured flickering of the light will help you tune in and concentrate, which is also important.

It would be wiser to use candles bought in the temple. They will help drive away evil forces and will not allow negative energy to affect the process.

Carrying out divination and interpretation of meanings

When the preparation for the ritual is over, you can proceed to the most exciting part - the creation of the casting and the decoding of its meaning.

Stages of fortune telling

The process of establishing contact with fate can be conditionally divided into three stages. Each of them has its own characteristics and neglecting the subtleties of at least one can lead to a distortion of the entire ritual. Therefore, it is very important to take care of every little thing.

1. Wax preparation

From a practical point of view, this stage is of great importance only when you "dissect" the candle. In this case, you need to remove the wick from it and give it a shape suitable for melting.

The secret meaning of this action is much more significant. It is at this moment that you "tune" the wax to your wave, turning it from a simple piece of material into a reflection of your thoughts, desires, life path.

The main thing here is not to rush. Slowly warm the cast in your hands, then begin to gently knead it, making it pliable and flexible. Try at this moment to look at a pre-lit candle, this will help you escape from the worldly bustle, tune in and clear your mind.

In no case do not try to heat the wax on the battery, soften it with blows or crumble. This will instantly destroy the unity of your spirit and its physical vehicle.

When finished kneading, place the workpiece in a container for melting. From this moment the second stage begins.

2. Melting

This stage in the material sense consists in melting a softened piece in a pre-prepared dish over a candle flame.

In a spiritual sense, this is a moment of concentration on your question. Try your best articulate what annoys you. Do not forget that the more specific the question is, the easier and more accurate the transcript will be.

The worst thing you can do at this stage is to start "kicking" fate by picking out the melting wax so that it melts faster and you can proceed to the "main" part. Do not forget that the ritual has no unimportant stages. Don't rush heaven, they don't like it.

3. Casting creation

The result of this stage will be the creation of an irregularly shaped wax ingot, the deciphering of the meanings of which will be the answer to the question. However, in no case do not try to specifically cast some kind of figure, even if you really want to. You are just a conductor, a higher power directs the process.

All you need is to carefully pour liquid wax in cold water. It is not necessary to pour out all the wax at once, but there is no point in sifting in an excessively thin stream.

The method of pouring, of course, does not affect the result of divination in any way, but in the first case, there is a high probability of filling everything around with water and getting burned with wax. In the second case, you simply run the risk of falling asleep from boredom before you have time to interpret the signs of fate.

The meaning of symbols and decoding methods

When the pouring on wax is successfully completed, the most difficult thing lies ahead of you - to find out what value the resulting figure has.

It is worth remembering firmly that this way of looking into the future, like many others, is very subjective and depends entirely on your perception. If you have formulated the question clearly enough, then you do not need to dig into the meaning of each squiggle on the wax figure, the answer will come by itself and will be so obvious that you will be surprised.

In Russia, divination on wax was especially popular. The significance of the figures and images resulting from the pouring of melted candle wax into water fascinated and intrigued. This fortune-telling was one of the most exciting activities for peasant girls and ordinary townswomen on Christmas Eve.

What is Seromancy?

Fortune telling on wax, the meaning of the figures and the correct interpretation of the resulting images - this is seromancy. Such simple rituals have been practiced since the Middle Ages. Seromancy involves pouring candle wax heated in a spoon into another container filled with cold water.

The problem of modernity

Today, the medieval ritual of divination on wax is gradually being replaced by modern methods, the most effective and simple:

  • people read cards
  • girls use mirrors and rings;
  • young people tell fortunes on coffee grounds, etc.

Do not forget, please, about divination on wax. The fact is that the prediction of one's near future through casting was and is one of the most accurate and truthful. If, of course, it is done correctly.

Fortune telling on wax, in which the meaning of the figures must still be able to be correctly determined, is one of the interpretations of numerous ancient divinatory practices of casting on water. Unfortunately, modern youth often deviate from some of the rules of this ritual and use paraffin for divination. This should not be done! If you don’t have real candle wax on hand, then there’s no point in doing seromancy.

Why Wax?

In the old days, it was believed that water in combination with this substance would definitely not lie. It is the quickly hardening candle wax, instantly poured into water, that will deliver its verdict, showing a person his immediate future. The meaning of the figures when divining on wax in this case will be the most truthful.

Principles of the methodology

From ancient times, this ritual was performed by young girls directly on Christmas Eve. To do this, the young ladies had to stock up on containers of water, wax (not paraffin!) Candles. The fortune-telling ritual was carried out mainly on the night of Christmas and on the Epiphany of the Lord. Its main goal is to find out what awaits you in the near future.

Peasant and city girls found out which of them would get married and when, how many children they would have, and what the nature of their relationship with her husband would be. The practice of divination with wax on the water was noted by experienced fortune tellers, it was in great demand among housewives, nannies, and elderly women. They told fortunes mainly on themselves, but sometimes on their children and friends.

How is fortune telling on wax?

The meaning of the figures resulting from casting candle wax on water will be most accurate if you follow the simple and understandable principles of seromancy. For this ritual, it is necessary to prepare a bowl with clean and cold water, a candle, a large spoon and, in fact, the wax itself.

Before divination, you need to tune in psychologically: you must really want to see the near future. Fortune telling on wax for the sake of sports interest is strictly prohibited!

  1. Seromancy ritual should take place in a calm environment, preferably alone. In principle, it is also possible to guess together or three together, but on the condition that the rest of those present do not hold any grudges against you and do not envy you in anything.
  2. So, you need to put a bowl of water in front of you, light a candle and think only about what you are going to get an answer to in the process of divination. Get the rest of your thoughts out of your head. Maintain composure and complete silence.
  3. Put a piece of candle wax on a spoon, then bring it to the candle flame. As soon as the wax melts, and this will happen in a matter of seconds, pour the liquid contents into the water. You need to pour out all the melted mass at once.
  4. Hot candle wax will harden in the water instantly, remaining floating on its surface. All! Now you just need to correctly interpret the resulting figure.

Divination on wax. Interpretation and meaning of figures

The outcome of your ritual can be unpredictable. Figures cast on water can take the most bizarre forms, so we simply cannot physically fit the interpretation of all kinds of images and their meaning into the format of our article. The interpretation of figures when divining on wax is a delicate matter, so we will simply break into logical categories the most common and well-known symbols of seromancy.

human images

Figures of this type can predict a fortuneteller an early acquaintance, a sexual relationship, and strong relationships with relatives. The most important thing here is to understand if there is any internal rejection or internal dislike for the resulting figure. If this is not the case, and you like the figure, then this is a good sign.

A distinct silhouette of a man can prophesy for girls an early union with a loved one or some kind of romantic interest. If a figure cast in wax on water reminds you of some kind of angel, elf, mystical character, and so on, don't worry - this is a quick fulfillment of certain desires.

Money

Everything related to banknotes, expensive jewelry, currency portends you exclusively with business success, a promotion, a long-awaited vacation or a good deal.

Crosses, locks and incomprehensible plexuses

Do not be alarmed if the wax on the water showed you a cross, a keyhole / lock or obscure weaves of fibers. Such figures just say that your wish will not come true soon. The execution of certain plans is delayed for some time. Dont be upset!

Transport

Buses, trams, cars, ships, boats and planes cast in wax on the water indicate that a long-awaited vacation, journey, road is ahead! Some fortune-tellers give these figures another meaning: ahead is the purchase of personal vehicles. If a fortuneteller initially thought about relationships, then such figures prophesy new acquaintances, for example, on board an airplane or on the deck of a cruise ship.

Animals

This is perhaps the most numerous category of symbols that appear when you use wax divination. The value of the figures in this case will be predominantly positive. For example, a dog means a new and faithful friend, and a cat means new love acquaintances. A chicken, a sheep, a goat or a cow cast in wax predicts profit on the farm, and fish - a great catch or a big win.

But, of course, the figurines of not all animals are endowed with a good meaning. For example, snakes, owls, crocodiles and roosters warn the fortuneteller of a possible danger. If one of these animals is turned over, that is, as if struck, killed, then difficulties are ahead. If you do not panic and immediately take the bull by the horns, then you will famously overcome all the troubles!

Wax casting is one of the most popular and reliable types of divination. It is used to solve love, work and money issues. Fortune telling on wax gives answers in the form of figures. To independently conduct the ritual at home, you need to know the rules for its conduct and interpretation of the figures.

Divination features

Fortune telling on wax is carried out by a practicing fortuneteller, but it is more interesting to do it at home. For divination, the following items are used:

  • beeswax;
  • cold water or milk;
  • white porcelain container for casting and iron for kindling wax;
  • mirror (used at will and if you have casting experience).

It is important to use natural beeswax. It stores the energy of creation, is able to record information and transmit it. Candles (including church ones) should not be used. The content of most candles is paraffin. Their energy is directed upwards, if you break the candle, it disperses in space. For divination with the help of wax, baptismal water is used. She has a special positive energy.

The simplest divination

For divination on wax at home, there is a simple sequence of actions:

  • pour water into a container (put a mirror on the bottom);
  • melt the wax, thinking through the question of divination;
  • slowly pour the melted product into cold water (to form a wax figure, it is important to pour it in one place);
  • let the figurine freeze, take it out, examine it and independently decipher the fortune-telling on wax.

Fortune telling on wax is carried out after sunset, when the moon rises. If you follow the rules, one casting is enough. Rituals are carried out alone, but it is customary to invite friends to Christmas divination. The company should not include envious people.

Christmas divination

Fortune telling for Christmas time with beeswax has some features. Natural candles are required. They use red, white (fortune-telling for love questions) and green (for fortune-telling for money). Do not use a black item.

For Christmas divination on wax in a large company, simplified rules are used. Pouring wax onto water is required directly from a lit candle. Each girl is given one candle.

Predictions received during the Christmas fortune-telling method are fulfilled during the year.

Wax figurines

If you guess by the rules, the result of pouring wax is a figurine. Each fortuneteller intuitively determines what exactly spilled out. Casting does not give ideal forms.

There are several types of wax figures: animals, man and parts of his body, plants, celestial bodies, geometric shapes, letters and numbers.

Animals

The result of the ritual is often figurines of animals, birds and insects. Professional fortune-tellers give the following meaning of figures on wax:

  • elephant on wax (small elephant, baby elephant) - a symbol of power, internal energy, indicates the fortuneteller or well-wisher who is ready to help in difficult times;
  • pig, boar - correctness of judgment, profit (when casting for money);
