Divination with water and wax has been practiced by girls since ancient times. And there is nothing unusual in this, because you rarely meet a person who would not want to lift the veil of the secrets of the future. However, why, among the many ancient Slavic fortune-telling methods, is fortune-telling on wax and water chosen? The thing is that this practice is considered the most reliable. This is due to the fact that the human subconscious independently determines the fate of the fortuneteller in the wax patterns that formed on the water. And water, by virtue of its energy abilities, only helps in this. Wax is also an energy-informational material capable of giving certain information.
A little about the technique
Divination with water and wax is essentially an interpretation of many water casting techniques. It was previously believed that water never lies, and if you pour wax, tin or another rapidly cooling substance into it, it will instantly provide the fortuneteller with information about his future fate. Today fortune-telling on wax from a candle is a little forgotten. It has been supplanted by other, simpler methods,such as fortune-telling on cards, mirrors, wedding rings, etc. However, knowledgeable people argue that, despite the effectiveness of other practices, divination with water and wax remains the most reliable. But only if you perform them correctly and know the meaning of wax pictures. Fortune telling on wax from a candle is recommended for Christmas or Epiphany. They say that it is on these days that water has the greatest energy. Previously, girls chose certain places for such a pastime, which enhanced the effect of fortune-telling. Most often, a barn, a bathhouse, a canopy, an attic, or long-abandoned houses were used for this. Before starting fortune-telling on wax for the betrothed, the girls untwisted their braids and untied their belts. It was also necessary to remove the pectoral cross.
Main recommendations
In order for the result to be true, you need to most accurately follow all the rules of divination with water and wax. First of all, this applies to candles. You should not purchase them at a regular hardware store. It is most likely that they sell candles made from paraffin, and only a natural product has a special effect. Therefore, it is better to purchase wax in beekeeping stores. By the way, church candles can also be used, since they are also made of wax. The wick inserted into them is carefully removed, and the candle itself is rolled into a ball. It is very important to try not to break the candle. This is due to the fact that a vertically standing object is considered a symbol of the orientation of the desire of a fortuneteller to God. If the candlebreaks, then this connection collapses, which means that the interpretation of divination on wax will be incorrect.
Besides this, when using the classical method of divination, wax should be poured in one place. If the picture is blurry, then this means that the desire is formulated inaccurately. With all seriousness, one should also take the choice of water, since it is she who is the transmitter of information. You should not take settled water, because it has absorbed a lot of unnecessary information. Tap water is also not suitable, since this liquid has no energy, it is "dead". It is advisable to use water sacred for Baptism. If there is none, you can draw water from a spring, freeze it and use it only for divination.
In order for the method to show a more accurate result, it is recommended to put a small mirror on the bottom of a vessel with water and pour wax directly over it. Thanks to the mirror, information will be concentrated in one place and the picture will be clearer. Among other things, it should be remembered that before starting the interpretation of divination on wax, the fortuneteller must completely abstract from what is happening around him and concentrate as much as possible on the question that occupies him. Otherwise, the answer may be vague, ambiguous.
Classic divination by wax on water
This technique does not require special preparations, a minimum set is enough:
- iron pot with melted wax;
- cold water;
- flat saucer;
- candle;
- matches.
So, pour water into a saucer, put a mirror. A candle is lit and placed to the left of oneself (from the side of the heart). Having formulated the question, they begin to pour wax into the center of the mirror. The resulting figures will be the answer. After completing the divination on wax, the symbols are taken out of the water and turned over. Information should be viewed from the side that was facing the bottom of the saucer. To do this, the figurine is brought to any vertical surface and the shadow it casts determines its own future.
Candle signs
When going to guess, you should pay attention to how the candle burns. Suppose, if it quickly ignited and burns evenly, it means that higher powers agree to help and allow you to slightly open the veil of the future. If she begins to sparkle or hiss, it means that the fortuneteller will soon find out important news. A slowly lit and poorly burning candle is a messenger of bad news. If the candle cannot be lit, then fortune-telling should be stopped immediately. The color of the candle also matters. For example, if they are guessing at a betrothed, it is better to take a red candle, when they want to know about he alth - green. Well, if fortune-telling concerns money, then it is advisable to light a gilded candle.
Divination interpretation
To correctly interpret the information received, one should observe the wax from the very beginning: how it pours, what shapes are obtained at the first stage and how they flow into the final result. It is very important to notice exactly which pictures replace each other, as this will give a more detailedanswer to the question. The result can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the circumstances, the mood of the fortuneteller and the significance of the question. Some characters have a common meaning and are always interpreted the same way. However, most wax paintings should be considered on a case-by-case basis. This is especially important if people of different ages or social status were present during fortune-telling.

Fortune telling on wax: heart
Oddly enough, even a wax heart speaks of love. This sign warns that in the near future the fortuneteller's thoughts will be occupied only with love, everything else will fade into the background. Most likely, the chosen one will reciprocate. The shape of the wax heart is also of great importance. Suppose, if the heart is pronounced and has clear boundaries, then the fortuneteller need not worry - love is mutual and will end in marriage. Worse, if the heart is poured indistinctly, has streaks or spreads a little - this is a sign of unhappy love. Such relationships only bring pain and disappointment.

In some cases, a wax elephant indicates a good physical shape of a fortuneteller.
If the dog showed up

Also thisthe fragment can characterize the fortuneteller himself, that he is a devoted friend, highly appreciating the existing relationship. Sometimes a wax dog is a kind of clue that together with friends you can solve any problem.
