What is ceromancy?

Have you ever heard of ceromancy? It's a fascinating method of divination that involves dropping heated wax into cold water and interpreting the resulting shapes. This practice traces its origins back to ancient Celtic traditions, though it’s not something you hear about much these days.

The process sounds straightforward enough, but practitioners often add extra elements like herbs and oils to the water or anoint candles to give their readings more depth. Speaking of candles, I'm curious about candle flame reading. It falls under ceromancy, also known as carromancy. I've come across the term "pyromancy" and wonder if that's the correct name for using flames in readings. I'm still figuring out how it differs from ceromancy—any thoughts?

I’d love to know if anyone here has tried ceromancy. What was your experience like? Divination methods can be deeply personal and vary widely among practitioners, so I'm interested in hearing your stories. Even if you’re new to it, what do you think about trying ceromancy or any other form of divination? Let's chat in the comments! 🌟
 
So, I had this quirky experience with candle wax recently! 🙃

I was messing around with some greenish wax I found in my spill dish. Definitely not the usual way to do Ceromancy, but hey, it works! Then there was this white wax from a t-light candle that accidentally took a plunge into a bowl. 😅

I used super hot water, thinking it would help. Turns out, that just made the cooling process way longer! The cooled wax ended up shaping itself all around the bowl’s edge. Pretty cool, right? 🎉
 
Exploring various temperature settings may lead to improved outcomes. In my experience, adjusting the temperature has often enhanced my results significantly.
 
Could that actually be candle wax? Initially, the picture reminded me of a glow-worm's luminescent trail, sparking my curiosity. Reflecting on it further, I recalled my fascination with bioluminescence from past nature documentaries. Every time I encounter something with such a glow, those intriguing films come to mind, deepening my appreciation for these wonders of nature.
