You need to take a regular candle, colored or simple, and a bowl of water. It is better to insert the candle into a candlestick so as not to drip on the tablecloth and preserve the wax. When the candle flares up and the wax flows, tilt it over the water and allow the wax to drain. You can do this two or three times so that a sufficient number of drops freeze in the water. The resulting figures are taken out and interpreted. You can also, after turning off the light in the room, bring the figures one by one to a candle or lamp and, turning them slightly to the sides, examine their shadows on the wall.
If in the bowl, in addition to several large figures, many small round drops have formed, this means money. The more such droplets, the better. It’s worse if there is nothing else besides them: no big figures - no important plots.
Large figures are judged by the associations evoked by themselves or their shadows. Associations should arise spontaneously: give free rein to your imagination!

Second way
For this fortune telling you will need several candles, preferably wax ones, but regular paraffin ones will also work. If you manage to get multi-colored candles, then that’s great. It is believed that the most accurate results are obtained when using red candles.
Leave one candle to melt, and light the rest and place it around - the flickering flame of the candles will help create the right atmosphere for fortune telling and will surround you with an aura of mystery. In addition to the candles, you will also need a cup and a deep plate or bowl of cold water to cool the melted wax.
Before starting fortune telling, break the left candle into small pieces and place them in a large metal, enamel or clay spoon. Heat this spoon over one of the burning candles until the pieces of wax or paraffin completely melt and turn into liquid. Now quickly pour the contents of the spoon into a container of cold water and see what happens.
As the hot wax hardens, it forms a variety of bizarre shapes, from which you, with the help of your limitless imagination, can determine what awaits you in the future. Every image that you see in frozen wax means something and predicts your fate for the next year.
Actually, fortune telling with wax is a purely individual thing. You should give space to your imagination and just follow the associations that will be born in your brain, and this will be the best and most accurate prediction.

Who among us hasn’t wanted to tell fortunes? Even in the days of Ancient Rus', girls used wax fortune-telling and older people told them the interpretation of wax figures. This tradition is old, but its popularity has not fallen at all today.
Fortune telling with wax was used back in the days of Ancient Rus'. It is still popular today
However, not everyone knows how to tell fortunes with wax, what rituals should be performed on a candle before fortune telling, and even more so, what the resulting patterns should be deciphered.
History of fortune telling
But where did the first fortune tellers using mysterious wax figures appear? This ritual originates from Ancient Egypt and Greece, where wax candles were the first to appear.
In the territory where the Slavs live, fortune telling with wax was most often carried out on Christmas, namely the night before the holiday, and this was done only out of curiosity. But among the Babylonian sorcerers, fortune telling by candles was part of many magical rituals.
How to guess
Before you begin the ritual itself, you need to carefully prepare. For the ritual you will need:
- Wax candle. Preferably not white, as its patterns are harder to see.
- Several matches and boxes.
- Container with cool water.
For fortune telling, you need to purchase a wax candle, but not white.
Also, your patience and perseverance are a must, since fortune telling with wax can take a lot of time. Since the candle must burn, and the wax, after casting, must completely harden and acquire clear outlines.
When you have collected everything you need for fortune telling with wax, you should clearly formulate the question that interests you. Maybe even write it down on paper. In accordance with the question, you can choose the color of the candle: a red candle - questions about love, a yellow candle - financial wealth and happiness, a green candle to use to find out the state of health, etc.
If you decide to do fortune telling on several aspects of your life, then you should choose several candles of different colors.
How to pour wax correctly?
Before you start pouring wax onto the surface of the water, you should let the candle burn out enough so that as much liquid wax accumulates as possible. If you have a large candle, then you can repeat the wax casting several times to get a more specific question.
Remember that the water should not be very cold, otherwise the wax will harden in drops on the surface of the water and the figures will not come out of the wax well. Use cool water to ensure everything comes out correctly.
When you look at the resulting figures, give free rein to your imagination and look at them from different angles. Take a closer look and analyze what it looks like most, and then watch her interpretation of the figures. But you shouldn’t move your container of water because this can disrupt the entire order and appearance of your symbols!
Know that there can be a large number of interpretations of the interpretations of figures when you perform fortune telling with wax on water and you should not take the interpretation of the patterns directly.

Every practitioner who is involved in casting the future and fortune telling on wax has his own theory on how to tell fortunes correctly and how to decipher the meanings of figures.
After fortune telling, it is important to carefully examine the pattern of frozen wax. After all, sometimes a figure does not have clear shapes, and then it can be interpreted in different ways. Good luck and perseverance in your endeavors.
Among the Slavic magical rituals, Christmas ones are the most famous, and even a beginner can interpret fortune telling on wax. The symbols and images that fortunetellers discern on a wax pattern contain energy and information that corresponds to real life. Only fantastic or fairy-tale characters or accessories have a special uncharacteristic meaning.
In the article:
Interpretation of fortune telling on wax - obvious and hidden patterns
The rules for performing fortune telling with wax both on Christmas Eve or Christmastide, and at other times are very simple. Apart from natural wax, spring water and privacy, no special conditions are required. You can pour wax melted in a spoon onto the water, or wax dripping directly from a burning candle. 
The most painstaking task is to discern in the wax figure symbols or objects that are significant for predicting future events. Sometimes the image is impossible to identify, and the only way to understand what the figure represents is to look at its shadow through candlelight. The interpretation is as true as the pattern.
The meaning of the symbols in wax divination does not depend on the purpose of the ritual. Both in rituals for determining significant events in the future, and in rituals for detecting damage or the evil eye, drawings are interpreted in the same way. Only images of people can have opposite characteristics, both positive and negative.
Unambiguously positive meanings of wax figures in fortune telling
There are symbols that are always associated only with positive emotions and events. Is it possible to assume that the image Angela could mean something bad rather than good news and great news? As an eternal symbol of good luck, Horseshoe, can predict troubles, but a reliable symbol of marriage, Ring, anything else? Absolutely right: there are images whose interpretation is unambiguous.
Prospects for material well-being and the receipt of monetary profits are indicated by such figures as Grape, Coins, Wallet. Images tell about unconditional success in business and personal life Trefoil, Crowns, parrot. Signs of a happy development of love relationships, naturally, are Heart, Wreath, Tower, A Egg, Basket, Stork or Embryo are guaranteed to predict a new addition to the family.
Ladder- to career growth, Key- to solve the problem, Automobile, Ship- to travel. In fact, the meaning of symbols is precisely how it is associated in the human mind. If the image is positive, it predicts positive events related to the area in which its meaning is most natural.
Wax divination meanings warning of danger
No matter how wild human imagination may be, to assume that Coffin, Scull, Cross or Crow No one can show cloudless, happy events. That’s right - this is a set of the most unpleasant prospects regarding health, life and plans. The only positive aspect in such a situation is the timely interpretation of wax fortune telling and the opportunity to change the course of events.
If during the ritual an image is formed Bottles, Shot glasses or Glass, It is necessary to make every effort to combat the addiction to alcohol of someone close to you, whose life may go downhill due to this addiction. Eye, Fork, Bull, Monkey,Snake- insincerity, deception, hidden envy, insidious plans of secret enemies - unexpected threats from people who were considered friends or well-wishers. Rope, and even with knots, is as unfavorable as Mountains or Cell- these are difficulties that will definitely have to be overcome in order for everything to be fine in the future.
But with people's faces the situation is much more complicated. Here you should focus only on internal sensations. If the image of a person, be it a man or a woman, evokes a feeling of inexplicable anxiety or unpleasant emotions, problems and difficult situations are likely to come from friends or close relatives. You need to be alert to those around you; you may be able to prevent threats.
Material symbols of fortune telling on wax
If the ritual is performed by melting a candle, a large number of separately frozen drops are obtained, which can be mistakenly labeled as coins. This will be an incorrect value. It is better to focus on the image in material matters Chest, A bag full or, oddly enough, Spider. It is these figures that always prophesy the receipt of money.
Spiral warns of possible fraud, there is a real threat of losing money. The same perspective shines when depicting Empty bag. The most unfavorable symbol for financial situation is Shark- a very influential and invincible person plans to destroy your material well-being.
The good thing about the wax ceremony is that it allows you to see in advance the impending danger of losing money or your own business. Even if it is not possible to prevent an unpleasant event, worries about this will be much easier than they could be.
Special fortune telling with wax on water - interpretation of damage and the evil eye
A very important type of fortune telling with wax is pouring out damage and the evil eye. This ritual differs from the standard one in minor details. The wax should be poured onto the water over the head of the person who is suspected of having magical effects, it is advisable to place three icons on the table, and before the ceremony the 90th Psalm should be read. There are no clear time conditions for damage and the evil eye.
Typically this ritual shows an image of the body parts or organs that have been attacked. Head indicates the impact on thoughts, Heart- the ability to love, hands - for the opportunity to work, legs- move around. A drawing that is difficult to distinguish is viewed in the same way as in ordinary fortune telling: through the light in the form of a shadow.

Wax fortune telling
Christmas fortune-telling with wax is a simple ritual that does not require special skills and knowledge.
With this ritual you can learn about the following:
How to guess correctly
In order to obtain the most reliable information about the future, it is necessary to properly prepare for the fortune-telling process.
Basic Rules:
If a church candle is used, then under no circumstances should it be cut with a knife or broken. The candle must be gently kneaded until it becomes soft and pliable. Only then can it be melted.
The fortune telling process itself should proceed as follows:
- 1. Exactly at midnight you need to cover the floor with a tablecloth.
- 2. Place a container of water on the table.
- 3. Chop one candle. Place the shavings in a tablespoon.
- 4. Heat the spoon with the second candle, while asking the question you are interested in. If there is no specific question, then you need to say: “As this wax pours and pours out, so my future opens up before me.”
- 5. During fortune telling, you must constantly think about the subject of the question.
- 6. As soon as the wax in the spoon melts, pour it in a thin stream into a container with cold water.
- 7. After a minute or two, take out the resulting figure and place it on a napkin.
- 8. After the figure has dried, you can begin to interpret them.
After fortune telling, figures that portend positive changes should be kept in a secluded place from prying eyes. If a symbol has been formed that promises negative changes, then it should be thrown away or buried.

Fortune telling with wax and water - correct interpretation of figures, with photos
Yuletide fortune-telling with wax and water makes it easy to get the most accurate results, and the girl does not necessarily have to turn to a healer. The main thing is to stock up on a large candle of a certain color, depending on the nature of your fortune telling. So, for love affairs, a red candle is best suited, a golden one will reveal financial secrets of the future, and a green one will answer questions about health. In addition, we will need a piece of real beeswax, as well as a vessel to melt it - a tablespoon or a coffee pot. The fourth attribute of the magical ritual is a white plate or bowl for obtaining wax castings in the form of figures of various shapes. And finally, the main component is water, without which it is simply impossible to conduct fortune telling on wax. Many “experienced” fortune tellers advise using Epiphany water, but ordinary tap water will do. The candle can be wax or paraffin - according to desire and capabilities. So, about a day before the start of the ritual, you need to clearly formulate the question that interests you and mentally scroll through it throughout the day.
For fortune telling with wax, it is best to choose a moonlit night, and carry out the ritual itself alone or in the company of a person you trust. How to correctly tell fortunes using wax? We wait until sunset and light a candle - if the fire burns evenly and easily, the predictions will definitely please you. First, you need to warm a piece of wax in your hands and roll it into a small ball. Then we place the heated warm wax ball in a vessel for melting and heat it with the help of a lit candle - all this time we think about the question to which you would like fate to answer. When the wax melts, pour it into a plate of water and wait until it hardens - now you can carefully remove the resulting figure and begin interpretation. It is important to remember that the meaning of the figure can be interpreted differently, depending on which side you look at the wax picture from. We tried to compile a list of interpretations of the most common symbols (with photos), the shape of which melted wax can take during the fortune telling process.
- A mouse, a figurine of this small animal made from wax, is considered an unpleasant sign. Thus, fate predicts losses of a material nature to the fortuneteller, which will arise due to his promiscuity in business acquaintances. If during fortune telling a wax figurine resembling a bat appears on the water, expect greetings from an old friend or admirer.
- Snake - in addition to strength and wisdom, the figure can mean the deceit of enemies and enemies, threatening your relationship with your loved one.
- Hamster - the appearance of this symbol in wax warns that, thanks to his foresight and thriftiness, the fortuneteller will be able to survive possible difficult times with dignity.
- Dolphin is an extremely positive sign, predicting the successful resolution of all problems and overcoming obstacles.
- Ring - recognizing a wedding ring in a wax figurine promises pleasant changes on the love front. This could be a marriage proposal from a regular admirer or a promising new acquaintance.
- Bear - this symbol foreshadows the appearance of a strong and powerful patron or caring friend in life. For a young girl, the appearance of a bear made of wax is considered a favorable sign - fate will give her a new acquaintance with a man-future husband.
- Scorpio - a wax casting in the form of such a poisonous insect means a warning that you need to show restraint in relationships. If you have a desire to throw out accumulated negativity towards a certain person, a scorpion figurine during fortune telling on wax warns you against such a rash step. Otherwise, such intemperance will lead to regret and repentance.
- Turtle - fate dictates that at the moment you need to remain calm and careful, avoid unnecessary haste and strong emotions. Go about your daily activities or just take a break from the hustle and bustle and indulge in relaxation - being a little lazy is even useful.
The most accurate wax fortune telling for the future - the meaning of figures and symbols
To perform the most accurate wax reading, it is important to choose the right time to get the most accurate results. So, in Rus' they traditionally used fortune telling at Christmas and Christmastide - it was believed that all the predictions would come true throughout the year. If you want to know your future next year, when doing fortune telling, melted wax should be poured into water in a circle around the container, and not at one point. As a result, a wax chain of several figures appears - we decipher their meaning sequentially, obtaining a complete picture of events in the coming year. In order for the wax casting to be as accurate and clear as possible, you need to place a small mirror on the bottom of the plate. When pouring water, direct the stream directly to the mirror - in this case, the information will be concentrated in one place, which will significantly increase the effectiveness of fortune telling. When the wax hardens, we begin to interpret the symbolic figures, many of which you will find in the list below.
List of meanings of figures and symbols - for correct fortune telling on wax:
- Heart - if the wax has frozen in the form of this symbol, great mutual love will “come” into your life. A wax heart with clear contours indicates that new feelings will bring happiness and joy. But the presence of veins, cracks, as well as an uneven shape foreshadow trouble - perhaps the fortuneteller will be disappointed in the relationship.
- Lips - this symbol means that your chosen one is an extremely sensual and passionate person. Of course, all his ardent feelings are directed towards you.
- For a woman of the fair sex, seeing such a wax figure promises possible quarrels, scandals and showdowns. For a man, this sign is interpreted as a harbinger of bad intentions on the part of business partners or a loved one.
- Man - prophesies for the future the need to make an important decision, defend one’s position or help (protect) another person. For example, you have to pass a regular exam or a driver’s license, or give a lawyer’s speech in court.
- Bird - a figure on wax predicts imminent news. Thus, a flying bird promises good news and good luck, as well as the implementation of important work projects and the approval of others.
- Dog - the appearance of a person’s four-legged friend during wax fortune telling is considered a good sign, symbolizing the support of a loved one. A dog as a symbol means that the fortuneteller values ties of friendship and is ready to come to the aid of people.
- Swan - a sign predicts a happy family life, loyalty and reliability of a partner. If a girl is telling fortunes about love and the wax takes the shape of a swan, then this means a reliable and calm chosen one. A swan couple frozen in wax symbolizes the long union of two loving hearts.
What do the figures mean when divining on frozen wax - the correct interpretation of the signs
Fortune telling with wax from a candle is considered one of the most popular methods of finding out your future. Thanks to water as a powerful information and energy storage device, the most accurate predictions can be obtained. Before a magical ritual, you need to prepare properly, then the result will be as truthful as possible. So, it is best to tell fortunes using wax candles or stock up on a separate piece of wax. In addition, the ceremony must be carried out at midnight, completely alone - only a domestic cat can be left as an “assistant”. According to the rules, a fortuneteller is not allowed to wear a belt, bracelets, rings, hair ties, or a cross on her body. So, what do the figures mean in wax divination? The correct interpretation of the signs is crucial, so when deciphering the symbols it is important to concentrate and discard bad thoughts. We tried to collect interpretations of the most common picture signs, which are often made from frozen wax. The figures obtained as a result of fortune telling are not allowed to be thrown away - “positive” symbols are preserved as a talisman, and “negative” ones must be buried in the ground.
- Angel – the appearance of this wax figurine is considered a happy omen. The fortuneteller can expect positive changes in life, as well as help from higher powers in resolving an important task. For a girl, a wax angel means pure and sincere love.
- Coral - indicates a serene future and a calm life.
- Boot - a sign portends a quick journey or a long and difficult trip. A wax symbol in the form of a boot or other footwear has the same meaning.
- Pig – a wax casting in the shape of a pig is considered a good sign, since fate predicts that you will achieve impressive heights in life and positive changes. Do not succumb to star fever, otherwise you risk losing the favor of higher powers.
- The embryo of a child is a sign that foreshadows any newness in life. It could be a new thought or action that will become a catalyst for future change. Listen to your intuition - it is possible that now you have no idea what exactly awaits you in the future.
- Fish - when you see such a figurine on wax, be prepared for good news related to water. It is likely that an interesting acquaintance with a foreigner lies ahead. The appearance of a fish also foreshadows a meeting with a mysterious, wise and taciturn mentor.
- Worms - if the wax has taken the form of a worm, then fate warns the fortuneteller about possible problems in relationships with others.
- Droplets - the sign symbolizes financial injections in the form of repaid debt or other unexpected income. The amount of the amount depends on the size of the wax drop - the larger the figure, the more significant the “gift” of fate will be.
The meaning of pictures when fortune telling on wax - the most accurate interpretation of the symbols, photo
Figures made from frozen wax must be carefully removed from the water, especially if the castings are thin and fragile. When starting to interpret pictures, it is important to get into the right mindset - concentrate and discard unnecessary thoughts. Otherwise, the predictions are unlikely to be deciphered, and fortune telling will lose its objectivity. How to prepare for the interpretation of symbols? The finished figurine needs to be twisted in different directions, carefully examined in each direction - you may need a mirror. In addition, you can conditionally divide the wax casting into several parts, each of which will tell about the future in a certain time. So, by the upper part of the figure you can determine the near future, the right side will tell you about upcoming events over the next three years. The shape and picture of the lower part will indicate the events of the present time. And from the central area of the wax casting one can judge what is in the soul of the fortuneteller, about his hidden desires and motives. Here is the most accurate interpretation of wax symbols and figures (with photos) - turn on your imagination and begin the mystery of fortune telling!
- Straight line - the appearance of this symbol indicates that you will soon have to take on a new project.
- Circle - fate indicates your excessive fixation on a certain issue or problem. Alternatively, the wax hardening in the shape of a circle can be interpreted as stability in business. If the wax figure resembles an oval, then the fortuneteller can easily make his desires and dreams come true.
- Dots are considered a monetary sign that predicts the receipt of material profit.
- Spiral - symbolizes the fulfillment of an old dream or the achievement of any goals that were previously considered unattainable.
- Numbers and letters - the meaning and interpretation of these symbols depends on the question asked. For example, this could be the first letter of a loved one’s name or a date that fate reveals to you during fortune telling.
- Number 8 - providence gives a sign about the cyclical nature of positive and negative events in your life, since the “eight” is considered a symbol of infinity.
- Number 9 – if the wax from a candle has frozen in the form of a “nine”, then this number has already taken place in your life. Perhaps this is the date of your wedding, the birth of a child, or the conclusion of an important contract - it is likely that new important events related to this number will occur in the future.
So, fortune telling with wax and water allows you to find out the future by correctly interpreting the resulting figures and symbols. What do wax pictures mean in fortune telling?
