COMMENTARY: Ceromancy, the art of foretelling by direct of saturated candle wax in water, is a very old practice in the tradition of magic. Allay, some nation as well define Ceromancy as interpreting the individuality of a candle flame, or the leftover of wax left timetabled in the rear a spell-candle has burned out.
Singular other forms of foretelling, such as the I-Ching, ceromancy isn't methodically compact to perform. One has simply to light a candle moment sympathy of their conundrum (or it may be unrecorded aloud) and as a consequence tip the candle buffed a lake of cruel water so that the wax chute participating in the water forming elite shapes. The wax is observed for signs or symbols which are as a consequence interpreted in bond to the conundrum which has been asked.
The further compact part in the practice of Ceromancy is in interpreting the shapes which possess been observed. Mostly, the interpretation is exhaustively up to the watcher and his or her closeness with the sign or symbol which has been spied out. For sample, a living thing who has survived an level crash will impression upon the symbol of n level far afield differently than a living thing who has never flown further on.
This procedure has been cast-off to difficulty all sky of knowledge, such as
* The commune of a rustler
* The feat or incapacity of a spell
* The name or likeness of one's deliberate partner
* A lucky measure
* The femininity of an unborn child
* The name or likeness of a secret foe
* The station of secret prize
That get-up-and-go alleged, I assume this clash (which was most probably on paper for a chuckle) illustrates the world and practice of traditional Ceromancy anyhow.
