I am sure
that many of you have used or still use a form of divination in order to be able to predict the future and get an answer to questions that trouble your
mind. Each and every single one of us use one form of divination or another in
our everyday life even if it is a symbol, a colour or a single number. Others
call it superstition I call it a form of art. The human mind always tries to
search patterns in order to make sense in a world that overwhelms us with
various types of information and stimuli and divination allows the person to be
able to perceive the signals and connect the dots in order to understand her/himself
and the world in a more profound way. The reason for that is simple and
universal to all human beings: our insecurity- the fear for the unknown.
Even though it sounds a bit dramatic it is also true; however the person
who decides to see into the future is a wise one as knowing the future you are
also capable of changing it.

| Divination technique, the delicate art of Ceroscopy |
Divination
is an art that requires both psychic
powers and a disciplined mind. Now
when I say psychic powers I do not mean only those who were lucky enough to be
born with them but all these people who try to exercise this powerful tool that
nowadays is called “brain” (although we can always doubt about its existence in
some people especially politiciansJ) and scrying is a form of mental exercise that will make your
extrasensory perception stronger.
As you may
already know there are different forms of divination and different tools to
practice them: tarot cards, runes, scrying balls, pendulums
and scrying mirrors. However, there
are simpler forms of divination where the diviner uses resources from their
surroundings and studies their patters. For example clouds, tea leaves, smoke, the movement of birds or other animals and handwriting or random drawings. The scryer uses these resources as
a point to focus their attention, perceive the signals and respond to questions
or form whole stories which narrate the current situation, how it was linked to
the past and how it will develop in the future. The existence of different
forms of divinations highlights the fact that different people may choose
different methods in order to accomplish the same goal: Get an answer to their
questions. No form of divination is better than the others and you are advised
to explore them freely and find the one that suits you best.
The art of ceroscopy
Here I am
going to share with you one form of divination which I consider both powerful
and fun, the art of ceroscopy. Ceroscopy can both be used by
experienced and novice scryers alike and you are advised to consider the method
that I describe both as a form of divination and as a good exercise to sharpen
your skills. Ceroscopy requires two
key ingredients: a candle and a bowl of water. The actual method is
further simple. You hold the candle with both hands and you visualize the
question or the situation that you want an answer for, then you light the
candle signaling that the darkest parts of this question will be illuminated.
Then you keep focusing to your question and when the wax starts melting you
start dripping the melted wax in the bowl of water. The wax will start taking
shapes and forms that will be the answer to your question.

Search for
symbols that have meaning to you, try to see a story forming as the wax gets
solid in the bowl of water. You will need a notepad to write down your
experience and the shapes that you have seen in the water.
Don’t
stress yourself too much if at the beginning it seems a bit confusing ( or if
you are like me a bit messyJ), ceroscopy requires time but the more you use it the better you will
become at it and believe me the wax at the end will start to narrate stories
for you. In addition to the above, you may use a coloured candle if you want in order to focus even more in a
specific aspect of your life. For example a red candle for matters
of the heart, a green or golden candle for your financial, if you are not sure about which colour to use then
either use a colour of your preference or alternatively a white candle. In addition, you may want to use the fabulous herbal
incense Divination of Rosarium Blends to open your
extrasensory perception even more and take your scrying experience to another
level.
A piece of
advice, try to use a bowl or any other water container that has a large surface
as you will need the space (and I am talking from experience here J). In addition, the bonus with ceroscopy is
that you can keep the 3-D model answers that you have created and you can use these figures in your magic to
actually ensure that the outcome is the one you want in that situation.
