Wax is one of the oldest types of magical workings. Carromancy is a form of divination that draws interpretations from the patterns and symbols formed by the melted wax. This ancient practice was developed by the Celts and Romans and can be used to read and forecast auguries. It was often practiced in Lithuania, a particular aspect of my lineage. Using a found iron chair frame, I first spent months slowly weaving a new structure for the wax to take shape on. Jute twine was appropriate for it’s natural properties and weaving allowed for the wax to drip down into the structure and not just on top of a solid surface. I then placed the object in my studio and allowed for the form to take shape over the next year, lighting candles each time I worked in my studio.
