Unveiling the Ancient Art of Selenomancy: A Guide to Interpreting Molten Wax Patterns

Selenomancy is a form of divination that involves interpreting the marks or patterns made by molten wax or tallow (animal fat) as it cools and solidifies. The practice is also known as "wax divination" or "tallow divination."

The process of selenomancy typically involves melting wax or tallow in a flat dish or pan, then pouring the melted substance into a cool surface, such as a flat plate or a piece of parchment. As the molten substance cools and solidifies, it forms unique patterns and markings that are believed to hold significance and provide insight into the future.

The practitioner would then interpret the marks and patterns to gain insight into various aspects of life, such as love, health, wealth, and spirituality. The marks were thought to reveal hidden truths and offer guidance for making important decisions.

Selenomancy was a popular form of divination in ancient times, particularly among the ancient Greeks and Romans. It was also practiced in other cultures, including ancient Egypt and China. While the practice is no longer widely practiced today, it remains an interesting and fascinating aspect of historical divination practices.
