- Ceromancy (Carromancy) is a style of divination, performed by reading the waxy remains of freestanding “figural” candles.
- Another method more commonly practiced in the contemporary era is studying the burning of an ordinary candle. The movements and erratic actions of the flame are then said to predict the future.
- It is highly subjective, and one will form their own interpretations of the messages remaining in the wax.
For the purposes of advice to our clients, a freestanding candle means any type of candle which is not a jar candle. The reading of a figure candle is different from that of reading a glass jar candle. Messages from the smoke have the same meaning. However, there are many more considerations when you’re allowing a candle to burn without the constraint of the jar or container.
The Spiritual Body of the Candle
Some people will look at each section of the candle for specific messages
- wax – pure flesh or humanity
- wick – soul, divinity
- flame – godhead
History of Carromancy
Carromancy also has roots in ancient Celtic and perhaps later in Ancient Roman times. According to scraps of knowledge salvaged from around the period CE 500, it appears that the candle burned during a druid’s vigil was poured into a bowl and then into a clear pool of cold water. The auguries for the future could then be read.
Why read the remains of your candle work?
- You can read the messages from the wax to determine if your “work” is successful.
- Spirit may also leave you various messages to tell you what you can do next in order to achieve your magical desires.
