Ceromancy is a form of divination where heated wax is used to tell fortunes.

Traditionally a brass bowl is used in the ritual. Water is added to the bowl and then a candle is lit. The melted wax is then poured into the bowl and the subsequent shapes are intepreted by the reader.[1] However, some practicioners also use the shapes wax forms as it drips down the candle to tell the future.[2]
