Ceromancy

Ceromancy interprets figures made of wax, particularly shapes that form as wax solidifies.

How to approach it

A reading begins by recognising a sign and relating it to a question. Describe the observation first, then explore its associations: the image opens a reflection rather than imposing a conclusion.

An important distinction

It focuses on wax shapes; candle divination can also interpret the flame and other candle behaviour.

An example to explore

Look at a photograph of cooled wax: a key-like shape might suggest access or a solution still to be found.

Taking the idea further

To explore further, compare the related concepts and note differences in material, procedure and interpretation. If you open a related tool, read its own rules; sharing a symbol does not mean carrying out the same practice.
