Ancient divination on wax: the meaning of the figures
Any of us wants to know what will happen tomorrow with him, with his family, country and the world. It has long been helping to comprehend the future. One of the most ancient that came to us from the priests of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia is wax divination.
How to guess?
The technology of divination with the help of water and wax is one of the variations of ancient divination by water.
From time immemorial, it was believed that water would not lie, and if you pour a substance that can quickly cool in water into water, the water will instantly reveal all the secrets. Teach and advise.
We used what was at hand. Only spring water remained unchanged. Egyptian priests poured beeswax into it, and stern knights from the Tin Islands poured tin.
The ancients are being actively supplanted by simplified methods of divination. In the 21st century, coffee grounds are much more affordable. But given that divination by water is one of the most faithful and accurate, it's worth a try. The main thing is to perform very simple rituals.
For fortune-telling does not need long preparations, but only matches, a candle, a little patience, and a bowl of water are needed.
What time to choose?
According to Orthodox tradition, the best days for divination exercises are New Year's holidays, Winter Christmas time, Kupala night, Pentecost. You don't have to wait for those dates. You can guess on any convenient day of the week.
For divination suitable for a small room with subdued light. It is advisable to dress up in clothes more spacious and looser before divination, remove jewelry, sharp hairpins.
Turn off your cell phone so you don't get distracted. You can't guess when you're in a bad mood being irritated, angry.
Wax and water
The candle must be wax(there are innovators who prefer paraffin), it must have sufficient thickness and height. Expect that before the start of fortune-telling, it will have to burn for at least an hour. Only with such a candle can you get enough wax.
In ancient times, pure wax without pigments was used for divination. Colored candles are popular these days.
Firstly, it is believed that dark figures are easier to see against the background of a light vessel, and secondly, there is already a tendency to choose the color of candles depending on the range of prepared questions.
A red or pink candle is used to predict love relationships, a gilded candle will answer the questions of traders, financiers, and businessmen. Health issues will be highlighted by green, and household issues will go to blue.
You can use several candles of different colors at once to immediately get answers from different areas of life.
You need a bowl. It can be anything, but it is better from white porcelain without drawings.. Water can be taken bottled, or from the tap. It is important that the water is cool, but not icy.
Process Features
When all the preparations are over, with matches (namely matches, not a lighter) we light a candle. It should burn for at least an hour. How to fill the waiting time is up to you.
Before you take a candle and pour the wax into a container of water prepared in advance, ask a question for which you want to get a prediction. Pour the wax into the bowl and wait a bit. As soon as the wax hardens, you can begin to interpret.
During divination, it is important to evaluate the flame of a candle:
- if the candle was kindled without problems, does not go out, burns well and evenly - this is a good omen
- if the candle hisses, sparks or just makes noise - this portends important news
- if the candle burns sluggishly, flares up slowly, then this will not have a very good effect on the results of fortune-telling
- if the candle does not light up or constantly goes out, then the fortune-telling should be postponed to another day
Interpretation of wax figures
When casting, it is necessary to pay attention to the figures that are obtained in the process of wax flowing. It is important to accurately record all changes and their order.
Subsequently, an in-depth analysis will be able to give the most complete picture of changing events, and will make it possible to draw accurate and correct conclusions.
After the wax is poured, we will actually get the result of divination, that is, something that will help answer the main question.
You can interpret what you get:
- by evaluating a single picture
- by isolating figures
- through the study of abstract forms and concrete images
When fortune-telling, the meanings of symbols can have a different interpretation depending on the personality of the fortuneteller, circumstances, and things that are being guessed.
Only taking into account all the elements without exception that make up the overall picture will make it possible to draw up the correct interpretation of fortune-telling.
Some of the symbols, of course, are of a general nature and suit everyone without exception.
But it makes sense to consider most of the figures separately, considering situations when people of different ages, different habits, people with opposite temperaments are guessing together.
The meanings can be polysyllabic depending on how you look at the figurine. You can rotate the resulting casting, examine it from all sides, you can even use a mirror and find options in mirror image.
