Take a broad, thin piece of bark. put it into a bright fire until it catches flame then quickly set it a little distance from the fire.
When it has stopped burning, carefully stare at the symbols visible in the charred ash-laden wood.
Once the fire has died to a glowing reddish-white mass of coals, stare into its
heart. If you wish, throw some Fire of Azrael incense onto the coals (equal parts cedar,
juniper & sandalwood). This will flare up & burn, but will quickly die down.
With the scented smoke rising from the divination incense scry in the coals. See what shapes the charred wood seem to form, & determine their meaning through the language of symbolism.
BEST TIME: Waxing Moon
Fill the cauldron half-full of water and place it on a table where you can see comfortably into it while seated.
Light 2 purple candles and a good divination incense; a combination of mugwort and wormwood work well. Arrange the candles so their light does not shine into the water in your eyes. Focus your attention on the bottom of the cauldron, your hands placed lightly on either side. Breathe gently into the water and say:
Empty your mind as much as possible; remian relaxed while looking deep into the cauldron waters. The answer may come in images in the water, picture in your mind and strong bursts of "knowing".
Cauldron, reveal to me that which I seek
Great Mother, open my inner eye that I may truly see.

BEST TIME: Full Moon
Fill the cauldron half-full of fresh water. Stir the caudlron gently three times with your fingers. With a lighted candle, slowly drip spots of wax into the swirling water.
The Prophecy is read by interpreting the images seenin the wax, much like reading tea leaves. Boats, clouds and horses usually signigy journeys or movement. The Sun, Moon and stars indicate spiritual growth and/or life's successes. Develop your own interpretations for the images.
