It’s a way of telling the future by melting wax then pouring it into cold water.
The way the wax moves as it cools and the shapes it makes are read by some-one and they tell you what is going to happen.
I don’t know if they predict the immediate future or how far ahead.
I don’t know if or how much they charge.
I don’t kow what you would call them.
Fortune teller? More like fortune hunter.
You can read more about it at Wikipedia.
Correction: A diviner is the term used and he heats wax in a brass bowl.
When it liquifies he pours it into cold water.
They are then read by a carromancist.
Sounds like a double act.
I wonder if the boys of Mumbai use this method.
I doubt it. Probably couldn’t find one.
I looked up carromancist on Google and there was 1 entry, yes 1, but 635,000 for diviners and nearly 1.5 million for fortune teller.
People don’t even read tea-leaves any more as tea bags are more convenient and quicker. No matter if it tastes like ….!
