Causmomancy Fire gazing ~ Sit in a comfortable chair or on the floor. Dim the lights or turn them off. Clear your mind of busy thoughts and let your mind go blank. Gaze (not stare) into the flame of a candle (you may wish to choose a candle color that represents your concerns). This is alot like crystal ball gazing you will start to see vague images in the flame that you need to interpret. Fire reading ~ Gaze at a flame of a candle, and watch the flame. Pale flames indicate the approach of bad weather. If the flames shoot up brightly, a stranger will arrive shortly. Blue flames means a storm is coming soon. Sparks from the flame means you will receive good news soon. Smoke reading ~ Capnomancy Gaze at the smoke rising from an incense stick or my favorite combustible incense(since more smoke forms up Watch the rising smoke for images or thoughts that just pop into your mind. Write everything down that you see. In my experience I forget shortly after, like a dream.
