In Rus', absolutely all girls sought to find out their fate with the help of fortune telling. Be it a simple peasant woman or a representative of the nobility. As a rule, these classes took place during Christmas time. The most common type of Christmas fortune-telling was, and to this day remains, fortune-telling using wax and water. Moreover, there are a great many ways of such fortune telling.
The procedure for fortune telling on wax and water
This type of fortune telling is so popular primarily because it allows you to know the future with the greatest accuracy. This is explained mainly by the fact that water and wax are the most powerful magical elements, because they very easily transmit various types of information through themselves. This is evidenced by the fact that even scientific societies have recently become interested in the magical properties of water and wax. The corresponding branch of science is called “keroscopy”.
We will not focus on the process of fortune telling with wax and water. We are more interested in the meaning of the resulting figures. Because this is the most difficult. Especially for an unprepared person. In addition, for the correct interpretation of the meaning of a particular figure that was formed as a result of such fortune-telling, factors such as the gender of the fortuneteller, his age, position in society, character and a huge number of other factors should be taken into account.
What is needed for fortune telling with wax and water
For this type of fortune telling you will need the following:
- Candle. It should be large enough. If you are telling fortunes about love, it is better to take a red candle. If for material well-being, then a gold-colored candle. And if it’s for your health, then a green candle.
- Wax. The bee one is most suitable.
- A container in which you will melt the wax . The most suitable containers for this purpose are a coffee pot, a large spoon or glassware. But it must be resistant to high temperatures. Otherwise it may burst.
- A special vessel for obtaining a casting. It is best to use a deep plate or bowl as such a vessel.
- Water. In the canonical version, of course, holy water collected for baptism is used. However, in the absence of one, you can take the most ordinary one from a water supply or even from a kettle.
No later than one day before the date of this type of fortune telling, you will need to clearly formulate in your head the question that is most relevant to you at the moment. The more precisely it is formulated, the more accurate answer you will receive. This question should be running through your head all the time. It should be at the forefront of your thoughts.
You can tell fortunes with wax and water either in splendid isolation or in company. However, it should consist exclusively of people with similar thoughts. If several people who envy each other are guessing at the same time, then the prediction will almost certainly turn out to be inaccurate.
It is recommended to carry out this type of fortune telling on a full moon. Practice shows that it is during the full moon that predictions are as accurate as possible.
With ring
The ring in magic has always been a symbol of infinity and strength. In this fortune telling, not only a ring is used, but also hair, which creates a kind of pendulum. There are some rules, strict adherence to which will allow you to achieve better results:
- Immediately before the procedure begins, you must fully concentrate on the ritual being performed. You can concentrate by looking at the flame of a burning candle for as long as it takes to get rid of all unnecessary thoughts.
- Fortune telling is recommended to be done in complete solitude and silence. Nothing should interfere, so you should turn off everything or get rid of anything that could disturb the peace.
- If the ritual involves the use of thread, then its color should be either red, white or black.
- It is advised not to ask the same question several times, even if the answer was not received or you did not like.
- It's best to guess at 12 at night.
You will need a glass 2/3 filled with water and a sufficient length of hair, and it must be from your own head. The ring should be put on a hair and connect its ends, holding them between your fingers. It is important that the tips are not visible.
Then you need to briefly lower it into a container of water and quickly remove it and place it on the edge of the glass. In this case, your elbows should be kept on the table without hesitation so that they do not tremble. The hands should move freely.
After this you can ask, but only specific questions should be prepared in advance. In this case, the answer can be either affirmative or negative. In the first case, the ring will make circular movements, in the second, it will oscillate from side to side. If there is no movement, it means that the answer cannot be received at the moment.
You can ask any question. The essence does not matter, specificity and certainty are important. Concentration and concentration on the ritual are also necessary.
Rules for fortune telling with wax and water
It is necessary to immediately note the fact that everything should be done as carefully as possible. You can start fortune telling only after the sun has set. It will be necessary to turn off absolutely all the lights in the room in which the fortune telling will take place and light a candle. Particular attention should be paid to how easily it ignites and burns:
- If it lights up immediately and burns brightly, then the prediction should make you happy.
