Fortune telling on wax, interpretation of meaning. The meaning of figures in fortune telling

Women, as a more curious people, have always sought to look into the future with at least one eye...

And the Christmas holidays themselves are shrouded in a haze of mysticism, so it’s time to remember winter fortune telling.
And even if you are skeptical about all kinds of superstitions, try it, maybe it will work?

Christmas fortune-telling is carried out from Christmas Eve (from the evening of January 6) to Epiphany (January 19) - they say that it is at this time that all sorts of evil spirits are especially active, and fortune-telling is a connection with evil spirits. However, the most favorable days for fortune telling are considered to be Christmas, Vasilievsky (on the occasion of the Old New Year) and Epiphany evenings, since at this time there is a special activity of evil spirits and the souls of the dead
There are quite a few ways of such fortune-telling, and each should be performed at a certain time of the day: in the evening, after midnight, or just before bedtime.

The chosen place was non-residential - a bathhouse, a canopy, a basement, a closet (yes, our great-grandmothers had more conditions), the main thing was that there were no icons in the rooms where fortune-telling was done. Do you know where the evil spirits are? It is not difficult to remember that in fairy tales a demon often appears from water, so they used to tell fortunes at an ice hole, a well, or, in extreme cases, at a saucer of water. We city dwellers will apparently have to limit ourselves to the latter. Besides, evil spirits can even look in the mirror, but I don’t think there will be a problem with it.

It is necessary to dress appropriately, or rather, undress - remove the cross, the belt, untie all the knots on the clothes, unravel the hair. All this also makes it easier to come into contact with evil spirits. Now have patience and courage. Let's guess.
And tell fortunes on wax.

In the past, beeswax was melted for wax divination, but these days it is easier to use a regular candle. When the lit candle flares up, it is tilted over a bowl of water, allowing the wax to drain. This is repeated 2-3 times so that a sufficient number of frozen wax drops form in the water.

Or they take a thick candle, light it and wait for a while so that it melts more strongly. Then tilt the candle over the water so that the melted wax flows into it.

Sometimes they do it differently. Before starting fortune telling with wax, take a candle and, breaking it into small pieces, place it in a spoon, which you then heat over one of the lit candles to melt the wax. When the pieces of wax are completely melted, quickly pour the contents into cold water and examine the resulting figures.

Then predictions of fate are made based on figures and signs reflected in the water. These interpretations are based not so much on clear rules, but on simple and understandable associations (“a ring for a wedding”, etc.).

The meaning of figures in wax divination

Naturally, the most important thing is to interpret the symbols correctly. After all, these can be people, animals, and objects.

You must use all your imagination and attention in order to recognize the image. Sometimes wax figures are examined through the light of a candle and already by the shadow they determine what it might be.
It is important to remember that wax frozen in water very often conveys information about dangers or threats, as well as about people who carry negativity.

To understand the logic of wax fortune telling, it is enough to remember only a few basic examples.

Many small individual droplets portend cash receipts. Perhaps this will be a long-awaited payment of money once earned, or maybe money will seem to fall from the sky. The amount will be small, but sufficient to enjoy its use.
If at the same time the droplets are enclosed in a circle, then this indicates the emergence of opportunities for rest.
Big drops frozen wax symbolize big events awaiting the fortuneteller in the new year.
Stripes. If wax hardened in water forms stripes, this is for the road, i.e. for travel, travel.
Wax stars- your finest hour, symbolize good luck in all matters.
If the wax settles to the bottom pancake- marriage will not happen soon.
Automobile. The wax has frozen in the form of a car - fate itself is sending you on a new path, which should become happy. New opportunities, a new way of life are already waiting for you! The car, as it were, very transparently makes it clear: the time has come to change yourself, stop standing still, don’t let yourself be taken over by laziness and apathy. In addition, it is also a bright sexual symbol.
Iceberg. A sign warning that danger awaits you. They are aggravated by the fact that they have a hidden character - the sharp corners of the figurine will tell about this. She makes it clear that you are only seeing the “tip” of the difficulties in the relationship. In fact, they lie much deeper. It doesn't hurt to be careful: a new lover can turn into a source of headaches.
Shark. Wax frozen in the shape of a shark communicates that special caution is needed: you have an enemy, and this is not an ordinary ill-wisher, but a powerful person hiding his intentions. The image of a shark can be interpreted in another way. For some reason, your business life turned out to be of concern to some very influential person. Without particularly bothering, this mysterious man can easily eliminate all your main competitors from the game.
Angel. This is a harbinger of changes that you must make in yourself. Now you are overly infantile and passive and are constantly waiting for outside help. Perhaps you have become accustomed to this position since childhood, when every speck of dust was blown off of you. However, the time is coming to acquire independence and responsibility, the time to learn from numerous past mistakes. You should seriously engage in introspection and prepare to take initiative.
Arch. The wax arch foreshadows joy, which, nevertheless, will have a somewhat troublesome character - spontaneous, windy and reeking of adventure. Perhaps this will be a new love - charming and at the same time “crazy.” Away with all fears: the situation will bring more dividends than losses (of course, we are not talking about something material). So you can safely rush into the whirlpool of new emotions.
Balloon. Having your head in the clouds is, of course, a pleasant and easy task. However, the wax balloon calls for an end to it and finally to pay attention to real life with its problems that require urgent solutions.

Banana. This sign encourages caution when talking about the past. Your lover may be jealous of you quietly and unnoticed for a long time, but from this smoldering feeling a raging flame may one day flare up. In some cases, a banana figurine foreshadows the betrayal of someone close to you. Most likely, we are talking about intrigue on the part of colleagues. If several fruits spill out at once, this means that you will encounter difficulties. Most likely, this will happen on the road (near or far).
Bow. Even something as seemingly simple as tying a bow can sometimes prevent disaster. If we translate the interpretation into everyday life, then, for example, thanks to the very timely smoothing out of conflicts with loved ones, you get the opportunity to resort to their help in difficult times
Loaf. The wax poured out in the form of a loaf encourages you to think about your future family life. Your gentleman is surrounded by a lot of friends, his sociability makes it easy to find a common language with everyone. But is his nature distinguished by passion and depth of experience? Before you connect your life with him, analyze whether your chosen one can surrender to tender feelings with all his soul.
Tower. The tower of wax means that if something surprised you before, then this will soon come to an end. It’s your turn to be surprised by something else—new, something you’ve never encountered before. Also, this symbol can foreshadow the metamorphoses that will occur in a person as a result of a steep climb up the career ladder and dividends received.
Wineglass. A good symbol that predicts new life directions with great prospects.
Bomb. Thus, the wax reflects the harshness and even rudeness that takes place in your relationships. Unfortunately, the situation is much worse than expected. The only way to restore peace and harmony is to ignore all provocations.
Tambourine. The wax tambourine symbolizes passion. They can be of a twofold nature: on the one hand, it can be passionate love with a dramatic breakdown, on the other, the torment of a tormented heart over the frailty of existence. In plays and movies, this may be interesting to watch, but are you ready for such passions to overwhelm your chosen one? What will your reaction be - enthusiasm or despondency? Before pursuing a serious relationship, think about this carefully.
Bagel, bagel- this symbol means that you are spending too much time on a certain person. Get ready for disappointment: life will show that he doesn’t deserve it. However, this problem will resolve itself.
Boomerang- it’s a boomerang in wax too. This means that the recklessness of your actions will come back to you and will have extremely unfavorable consequences.
Beads, bracelet. A bead or bracelet cast from wax is a symbol of the fact that the relationship with a loved one has begun to resemble a vicious circle. Perhaps fortune telling on wax suggests that the time has come to break it, open the circle of everyday life and thereby save love. It is important to think through solutions that can give such a good result.

Bucket. A good sign that predicts good luck in matters related to money. But in matters of the heart, the wax bucket does not foretell any changes.
Fan means difficulties in the workplace. Friction in the team is possible. This symbol also warns you against flirting at work. Even the most innocent flirtations can ruin relationships with colleagues and destabilize the situation in the team. The situation can only be saved by expending a lot of physical and mental strength.
Broom. This result of fortune telling on wax means that soon all the bad things brought from outside will be “swept out” from your life, like a broom.
Wreath. If the wax pours out in the form of a wreath, this is a sign that predicts the imminent arrival of something very desired, long-awaited and very joyful. The event will most likely be directly related to family life. A wreath can serve, for example, as a symbol of upcoming marriage.
Rope. A wax rope is an unkind sign, foreshadowing difficulties in life. It’s even worse if the rope has knots (this indicates health problems) or loops: they promise difficulties related to money.
Fork. This image invites you to reflect on your life. Are you satisfied with its flow? You have to decide whether to stay the same or give the course of life a completely new direction.
Grape from wax. If the wax pours out in the form of grapes, this is a very good sign, since it symbolizes material well-being and good luck. You have strong friendship and love ahead, full of romance.
Waterfall made of wax is a good sign, foreshadowing success and luck in matters related to finance. All you have to do is think about how to rationally use the surprise of fortune.
Balloon. A good symbol that foretells favorable changes in life. You will have the opportunity to look at problems from the outside and anew, more accurately assess how significant they are for your life. It is important to accept changes with dignity. If arrogance and pride settle in the soul, then fortune will turn away and prosperity will burst, like a balloon punctured by a needle.
Volcano. Such a wax figurine warns: be careful, a stable family situation is highly likely to change dramatically. It is quite possible that the cause will be one of the household members. Therefore, everyone needs to restrain their feelings and try not to provoke each other into conflict.
Mushroom symbolizes health and long life.
Trees. You have all the internal resources to cope with problems and achieve success in business - strength and stability of spirit, reliability, perseverance.
Door. Soon fate will give you some opportunity. Don't miss the chance to take advantage of it. Open doors more decisively to let change into your life.
Sofa. This figure hints that it’s time to leave the cozy sofa and move more, because movement is life.
House- to get married soon and start a household. The wax house symbolizes a real home, a family, and the relationships between its members. Fortune telling with wax predicts family well-being, perhaps even finding your own home.
The Dragon- “flying high”, the fulfillment of hopes, the completion of work or the birth of a child.

Hedgehog. A little more - and the sharp needles of the “hedgehog” of fate would have hurt you. Despite the fact that you have avoided this fate, just in case you are a fireman, you should not relax - this symbol predicts that in the very near future you will have to expose thorns: your interests are in danger.
In some cases, the image of an animal says that it’s time to shake things up and experience life from hitherto unknown sides.
Fence. The wax fence symbolizes some obstacles that you have to overcome. Don't be upset or scared. First of all, you should try to evaluate the reasonableness of your actions from the outside and, perhaps, adjust your fighting strategy.
Lock. This image suggests that one of your couple is keeping a secret secret that is preventing the further development of the relationship. But a truly loving person will accept his partner’s sincere recognition with dignity. You should trust each other more.
Comma. If there is a comma in the text, it is unclear what will be written next. Therefore, it is not surprising that this waxy squiggle says: you - as well as other people - will not be able to find out what your chosen one feels and thinks about.
Star- a very kind symbol that promises happiness, true love and the fulfillment of all your deepest dreams.
Beast warns of the appearance of an enemy or rival, the figure of a person foreshadows new friends and patrons.
Snake- this figure can mean not only wisdom and strength, but also danger. The serious relationship you have with your chosen one is threatened by the treachery of enemies.
Question mark. This result of wax fortune telling recommends increasing vigilance. Before deciding to take any action, you need to repeatedly ask yourself whether it will be right.
Umbrella. The wax figurine of an umbrella represents protection from all sorts of minor troubles. If the umbrella is open, this means that you should not be afraid of them, since preventive measures have already been taken and you are able to keep the situation under control. A closed umbrella portends receiving support. In addition, things may turn out in such a way that instead of the expected problems, fate will present you with very pleasant surprises.
Needle- a wax image of a needle indicates that in the future you will feel the “injections” of your friends. They will be very noticeable, and you, unfortunately, will be very vulnerable.
Skittles. Fate gives you a chance to instantly make such an acquisition, for which others have to work long and hard. The main thing is to have courage and make an accurate strike.
Claw. Such a wax figurine predicts danger, perhaps in the form of an accident. There is a risk that you will not be able to cope with the unfavorable circumstances that have come your way.
Bell- news from afar. The bell always means news. a symmetrical bell means good news, a crooked or chipped bell means bad news; several bells - alarm.
Ring - you are on the verge of a new relationship: you will be offered marriage, or you will begin a strong and long friendship with someone.
Comet. Beware: old enemies are ready to become active again. It is better to try to avoid a fight, but it is better to be on the safe side by preparing a rescue plan.
Box. What associations first come to mind when you hear the word “box”? Of course, a gift! So fortune telling on wax foretells only the best. In addition, you can receive a gift in the literal sense - the one you have long dreamed of.
Cross. A clearly marked cross is a very unkind sign, foreshadowing that a very close person will pass away within a year. An oblique cross means that in the coming year the fortuneteller can expect troubles and illnesses.
A fuzzy, blurry wax cross is a sign of minor problems and financial difficulties.

Lamp. A good sign that promises a very joyful event or holiday. In addition, the wax lamp suggests: in the most difficult times, you can call on the memories of joyful events that your heart cherishes for help. The more often you “turn on” your inner lighting, the brighter and brighter your life will be.
Sheet from the tree. A favorable outcome of wax fortune-telling, foreshadowing monetary income. Leaves are renewed annually; you just have to wait out the cold, and the bare branches will again be covered with delicate greenery. In addition, wax leaves call for caution: someone is jealous of your achievements and, perhaps, weaving intrigues.
Boat. Get ready for your trip as soon as possible. It is quite possible that it will be of a romantic nature. If several boats are formed, this promises significant commercial success.
Mask. The mask formed from wax indicates your lack of self-confidence. You should have more faith in your own abilities.
Monkey from wax to betrayal, false friends and lies.
Clouds. Dreams, quests, creativity are reflected in this symbol. You are able to rise into the clouds of dreams, you just need to listen to their call and follow them. All plans, even the most daring ones, are successfully implemented, and luck accompanies the implementation of all new ideas. The time has come when dreams are just a stone's throw away. Therefore, you can safely take out your childhood fantasies about grandiose achievements from your memory chest.
Island. The wax image of the island may speak of loneliness. To see the body of water in which the island is located is to look into your soul and understand that you are isolated from the outside world. You shouldn’t be in this state, especially since you can try to find ways to break your loneliness - for example, by building a bridge or a raft. In many cases, a wax island may indicate that for some time you may be deprived of your usual freedom of movement, and not of your own free will. Fortune telling advises you to pay more attention to your health and preventive measures to preserve it, otherwise you may end up in the hospital. Also, fortune telling promises you a feeling of security, harmony with the world, and a feeling of serene happiness. It is quite possible that in the near future you are destined to find yourself in a place with which you associate many memories.
Spider made of wax is not at all as bad a sign as the real thing. Financial difficulties do not threaten you in the foreseeable future.
Web. Be careful: you risk falling into someone’s skillfully woven networks. However, don't get too upset about this as you will most likely get help.
Pyramid. Significant achievements, long and serene happiness, the creative energy of the sun - this is what the wax pyramid symbolizes. In most cases, her image tells that building your own pyramid, which you have been dreaming of for so long, requires hard work.
Horseshoe has long been considered a symbol of good luck, and its wax image is no exception. Fortune telling says that a period of pure luck is beginning in your life, so you can safely take on new things and those that have been shelved due to dubious prospects. You should also resolutely go on business trips; good luck will accompany them too. In addition to a person’s luck, a wax horseshoe denotes his love of travel and adventure, and this love is mutual. Therefore, travel companions, hotels, etc. there are good ones, and in general the trips are always successful.
Bird from wax - to receive news. There is a possibility that you will receive an answer to a question that has long interested you, and this information will be of great importance for the future course of your life. This symbol also says that the projects that you are currently involved in are likely to be met favorably.
Hand. The wax hand is a versatile symbol. If it is open, it denotes a friendship - both an existing one and one that has just begun to develop. The fist speaks of a manifestation of disagreement and confrontation. In addition, the appearance of a wax hand indicates the existence of some kind of secret patronage. The image of a large, strong hand speaks of equally influential patrons. Having received their help, you can take on any task without hesitation.

Heart. Generally speaking, wax heart symbolizes love. To specify the outcome of fortune telling, you need to pay attention to the shape of the figure. Clear boundaries and an unblurred image foretell happiness in love. On the contrary, the absence of clear contours, the presence of veins, and even more so a figurine split into several parts are a very unfavorable sign, a harbinger of danger that threatens you.
Rocks made of wax can indicate the existence of barriers. Most likely, they are being repaired on your way by some influential person. Her opposition is so open and active that it leaves virtually no opportunity to fight. “A smart person won’t climb a mountain, a smart person will bypass a mountain” - this is the proverb that should be adopted in this case.
Dot, drop single. If a dot has spilled out of the wax, you should carefully examine the image that appears next to it. If the adjacent symbol has a favorable meaning, it will appear more clearly. And if the sign turns out to be unkind, then the wax dot will soften the consequences of its implementation.
Triangle. If the apex of the triangle is directed upward, this is a good sign, indicating that you will suddenly become the recipient of a large sum of money or that a successful meeting awaits you. If the top of the triangle looks down, this sheds light on events in the life of a loved one or just an acquaintance. He will have to lose his former influence or give up his position. In general, a geometric figure looking down in any case foreshadows very serious problems.
Quadrangle. This sign of stability, calm, and security invites the fortuneteller to leave everything as it is: the state of things does not need correction now.
Flower made of frozen wax - a very good sign. It reflects not only your joyful state of mind, which is transmitted to everyone around you, but also your brilliant prospects. Happy times await you. Success will accompany your business, your wildest ambitions and dreams will come true. In addition, one can only envy the number of your friends who enjoy communicating with you.
Human. Fortune telling predicts that literally in the near future you will meet a person with whom you will begin a sincere and devoted friendship.
Ball, circle, wheel- stability and prosperity in life. The wheels are rolling, and you are moving towards your luck - that’s what these figures say.
Trousers- fork in the road, crossroads. portend a quick choice on the path of life.
Apple- a symbol of life, wisdom, health. The more similar a figure is to a real apple, the better its meaning.
If the fruit comes out crooked and has an irregular shape, then it will mean that you will have to overcome temptations.
Egg- an ancient symbol of the hidden, unmanifested. It can mean fears, concerns, but it can also symbolize simply the beginning of something new.
Anchor. This result of fortune telling can serve as a reflection of the high social position you have achieved. In some cases, an anchor can be interpreted as a recommendation to strengthen your life positions. Also, this wax figurine transparently hints that it is time to take a closer look at the accumulated problems that are related to the events taking place around you. For too long you chose not to notice them! If you take timely steps, everything will be resolved successfully. Sometimes the anchor reports that all difficulties are temporary and that they may be associated with too slow advancement on the career ladder.
Pit- an unfavorable sign, may portend serious illness.
Yacht. If the wax spills out in the shape of a yacht, you can prepare for major financial losses.

Fortune telling on a candle at Christmas is a simple and reliable ritual that helps you look into the future. To obtain the most truthful result, it is recommended to cast a spell - after midnight.

And to amuse you a little, I offer online fortune telling:

PS. In order to get the perfect prediction when performing Christmas fortune telling with wax, you must follow some rules. It is better to use church candles or beeswax - they are ideal for fortune telling.
The same applies to the water that is used for the ritual - you need natural, spring or melted snow. It is ideal to use water taken from the church for Epiphany or other religious holidays. As a last resort, you can freeze any water and let it melt before the ceremony.
There is one more, undeservedly forgotten rule: place a small mirror at the bottom of a vessel with water and pour wax exactly into the place where it lies. The mirror will reflect the energy onto the wax more capaciously, and the image obtained during the ritual will contain maximum useful information. Using all these nuances will turn Christmas wax fortune telling into an impeccable prediction.

Often a person wants to look into the future, to find out what lies ahead. Various types of fortune telling are used for this. Fortune telling with candle wax has been popular among girls and women since the times of Ancient Rus'.. Information about this has been preserved in many literary sources. Most often, fortune-telling was done in this way on Christmastide or New Year's Day in order to find out how the next year would go. But a person can reveal the secrets of his future at any other time.

Preparing for fortune telling

The advantage of this type of fortune telling is that it is simple, and the items needed for it are easy to find at home or in a store. But some preparation is still needed. For it you will need:

Wax or large candles. The choice of candle depends on what exactly interests you: love, money, good health. If you want to find out about your personal life, whether love is waiting for you, buy a red candle. If you need to get health information, choose green, and if you are concerned about finances, then choose gold. If it is not possible to purchase a candle of a certain color, use the one you have in the house. But it is advisable to take only wax ones, since wax has energy-informational properties. Because of this, it was used for fortune telling.
Vessel with water. When choosing a cup for fortune telling, make sure that it contrasts with the color of the candle. It’s good if the cup or basin is white. This is necessary to make it easier to view the drawing. You can use tap water. But, if possible, prepare melt water or collect Epiphany water. Then fortune telling on wax will be true.
The right company. You can guess the future alone or with friends. But choose trusted ones so that they do not have bad feelings towards you.

How to guess

You need to light wax candles and wait until the candles melt into wax, then pour it into a bowl. The prepared water is cold, but not icy. You can put a mirror at the bottom of the dish. Or take wax candles and break them into pieces, put them in a ladle, and heat them on the fire of another candle. Once the wax has melted, it is poured into the center of the bowl with water.

Frozen wax figures on the water will tell the future of a person. Look at the symbols and find out what they mean. As we can see, this fortune telling is simple, no knowledge or skills are required, but the correct interpretation of the symbols is necessary. If the resulting images predicted something bad, the man, along with the dishes, took the wax into the yard and gave it to the pigs. If there were no living creatures, they were buried in the ground. If the prediction was favorable, the candle wax was removed and stored until the next fortune telling.

Previously, in Rus' they used to tell fortunes using milk. A saucer of milk was taken to the doorstep of the house with the words:

“Brownie, my master, come to the threshold to drink milk and eat wax.”

Having said them, they poured out the milk and looked at the resulting figures.

Decoding symbols

Fortune telling will not take much time, but you will have to spend it deciphering the meaning of the figures. Read the interpretation of the figures below. If there is no symbol, then use the interpretation of the meaning of the figures for fortune telling on coffee grounds. If the result is a shapeless figure, then a bad future awaits the person. Let's talk about deciphering the symbols; without this, fortune telling on wax is impossible.

Who among us hasn’t wanted to tell fortunes? Even in the days of Ancient Rus', girls used wax fortune-telling and older people told them the interpretation of wax figures. This tradition is old, but its popularity has not fallen at all today.

Fortune telling with wax was used back in the days of Ancient Rus'. It is still popular today

However, not everyone knows how to tell fortunes with wax, what rituals should be performed on a candle before fortune telling, and even more so, what the resulting patterns should be deciphered.

History of fortune telling

But where did the first fortune tellers using mysterious wax figures appear? This ritual originates from Ancient Egypt and Greece, where wax candles were the first to appear.

In the territory where the Slavs live, fortune telling with wax was most often carried out on Christmas, namely the night before the holiday, and this was done only out of curiosity. But among the Babylonian sorcerers, fortune telling by candles was part of many magical rituals.

How to guess

Before you begin the ritual itself, you need to carefully prepare. For the ritual you will need:

Wax candle. Preferably not white, as its patterns are harder to see.
Several matches and boxes.
Container with cool water.

For fortune telling, you need to purchase a wax candle, but not white.

Also, your patience and perseverance are a must, since fortune telling with wax can take a lot of time. Since the candle must burn, and the wax, after casting, must completely harden and acquire clear outlines.

When you have collected everything you need for fortune telling with wax, you should clearly formulate the question that interests you. Maybe even write it down on paper. In accordance with the question, you can choose the color of the candle: a red candle - questions about love, a yellow candle - financial wealth and happiness, a green candle to use to find out the state of health, etc.

If you decide to do fortune telling on several aspects of your life, then you should choose several candles of different colors.

How to pour wax correctly?

Before you start pouring wax onto the surface of the water, you should let the candle burn out enough so that as much liquid wax accumulates as possible. If you have a large candle, then you can repeat the wax casting several times to get a more specific question.

Remember that the water should not be very cold, otherwise the wax will harden in drops on the surface of the water and the figures will not come out of the wax well. Use cool water to ensure everything comes out correctly.

When you look at the resulting figures, give free rein to your imagination and look at them from different angles. Take a closer look and analyze what it looks like most, and then watch her interpretation of the figures. But you shouldn’t move your container of water because this can disrupt the entire order and appearance of your symbols!

Know that there can be a large number of interpretations of the interpretations of figures when you perform fortune telling with wax on water and you should not take the interpretation of the patterns directly.

Shape meanings

Top ten figures

Did you see the lampshade? Take a close look at those around you - some of them are lying to your face

Shade. If you think you can see the top of the lamp, then you might want to consider who is around you. Some of those you let too close to you will blatantly lie to your face. Rethink the phrases and actions of some people.
Apricot. If you see a sweet fruit, it means that you are overreacting emotionally to some aspects of your life, thereby aggravating the situation around you.
Bus. Consider this your bus to a happy life. Your soul will open up, you will become kind and generous, and you will make the world around you a better place. Mental harmony.

Every practitioner who is involved in casting the future and fortune telling on wax has his own theory on how to tell fortunes correctly and how to decipher the meanings of figures.

After fortune telling, it is important to carefully examine the pattern of frozen wax. After all, sometimes a figure does not have clear shapes, and then it can be interpreted in different ways. Good luck and perseverance in your endeavors.

Truthful fortune telling with candles and water will tell you about the future chosen one, what tomorrow has in store, and will warn about treason and betrayal.

Xeroscopy - fortune telling with wax

You will need:

church candle;
jar;
Bowl.

For a long time, magicians have tried to look into the future by using lead, tin or wax in ritual - materials that can be melted and poured into water. Water is a powerful information carrier that can reflect the future as well as the present. The essence of fortune telling is the “casting” of mental images: a fusible substance drips into a bowl and solidifies in a certain shape.

A large candle needs to be lit for about an hour - so that more liquid wax (paraffin) is formed. Then they take a bowl of cool water, ask a question and pour the melted wax into the plate. The result is a figure that you need to take a good look at to determine what it looks like. When the wax has hardened, you can pick up the figurine and take a closer look.

Tip: the bowl of water and the candle should be of different colors in order to clearly see the contours of the hardened wax. For a white candle, use a colored bowl and vice versa.

Only after completing fortune telling on water with a candle, and having determined what the figure looks like, do they look at the table of values. You can select 3-5 objects that are similar to the outlines of frozen wax, and write them down in order - according to their similarity. If the list of values does not contain the first item, look at the second, etc.

The magic of candles and water

3 church candles;
spring (well, melt) water;
jar (decanter);
table mirror;
White tablecloth.

You can try to “see” the future by combining two essences: fire and water. How to tell fortunes using candles and water to get an answer to an exciting question?

Be patient.

First, prepare the water - you will need clean “natural” water: well, spring water or from melted snow. The liquid is poured into a jar and kept at the head of the bed for 3 nights to fill it with the energy of the fortuneteller. On the 4th day, they buy a candle in the temple, and at midnight they perform fortune telling.
Before the ritual, you need to concentrate: meditate and formulate the right question: what awaits me in the near future? How will your career develop in your new workplace? What awaits me in marriage? And. etc.

During fortune telling, the hair is let down.

When is the best time to guess?

The best time to receive an answer from the universe is the night of Christmas and Christmastide (12 days from Christmas to Epiphany). You can ask the question at another time - always at midnight, on the 4th night after the water was placed at the head of the bed.

Magic ritual

Everything is ready: water, a church candle and the fortuneteller himself. Now you can begin fortune telling with a candle and water.

By midnight, prepare the table: cover it with a white tablecloth and place 3 candles in a triangle. Water in a transparent container (in a decanter or jar) is placed in the center of the triangle, and a mirror is placed behind it so that the light from one candle falls on the glass.

Then, concentrating, they look into the mirror through a jar of water. The flames of candles, refracted by water, give birth to reflections and images in the depths - the desired answer to the cherished question. You need to try to comprehend the answer you receive.

Fortune telling about a rival

You will need:

2 glasses;
salt;
2 thin small church candles.

Place 2 glasses in the center of the table, pour salt on the bottom. Place a church candle in each glass and draw a chalk circle around them both. One candle is wished for oneself, the second for a loved one. At midnight they light a fire and ask: “Does God’s servant (name) have a mistress?”
The result of divination is determined by whose candle burns out first. If your candle burns out first, there is a rival; First, the candle of your spouse (groom) burned out - he remains faithful to you.

Fortune telling about your future husband

They perform divination on the groom, who has serious intentions. You will need 2 identical long white candles: they represent the bride and groom. The bride's candle is lit first and they carefully watch how the candle burns and how it floats. Then they light the groom’s candle from its flame and watch it burn.

It burns and floats in the same way as a bride’s candle - a marriage with this person will be happy and harmonious.
The candle burns differently - it is better to wait with marriage, the groom is not yet sure of his feelings.

Fortune telling for supremacy in marriage

Take 2 identical long candles - they symbolize the future husband and wife. They light it at the same time and wait to see whose candle burns out faster. The spouse whose candle has burned the longest will rule the marriage. If the candles go out at the same time, the main thing in the house will be gone, the spouses will solve all issues together.

Whatever the results of fortune telling, they should be interpreted for the better and only joyful events should be expected.
