Description This vintage Wax Pouring Pot with handle is perfect for those wishing to do Ceromancy wax pouring. Wax Pouring, “the pouring forth of fear” is a folk medicine ritual practiced among Ukrainians. Called “Strakh Vylyvaty” this traditional folk ritual brought to Canada by slavic settlers from their home country. The Ukrainian wax pouring ceremony is a type of folk medicine where the healer called “Baba Povytukha” (old woman) pours pure melted beeswax into blessed water. She then interprets the shapes in the wax. These shapes may form into whatever the person is afraid of. It is a type of divining for the source of fears. These fears could be causing the person to experience illnesses in their daily life. It was thought that once these fears are poured out of the person, they are gone for good. Thusly the person can go on living without them. The wax ceremony is a blend of magic, religion, symbols, and faith. It was very important to Ukrainian settlers at the time of immigration to the New World. As it was a method to reduce stress and anxiety in the patient. This was a time when the resources of modern medicine were hard for them to come by. This was due to financial difficulties and the lack of knowing the English language.
