How Is Hydromancy Performed?
There are also some rituals that must be absolutely performed before hydromancy. For example, the fortune-teller himself must pour the water to be used in fortune-telling into a bowl or a vessel. The intention comes first, same as in every other fortune-telling method. This means the fortune-teller reveals what they want to learn about. Then, the fortune-teller gathers all concentration and focuses on fortune-telling.
Step by step hydromancy is as follows:
- Fortune-teller says out loud the name of the thing he wants to learn about, along with the motive (maxim). Then, he starts the fortune-telling.
- The fortune-teller gathers concentration and communicates with the water.
- The fortune-teller must not blink during hydromancy and completely focus on the water. The more focused the fortune-teller is, the shorter it will take to see the result.
- At this stage, the fortune-teller interprets the shapes and symbols he sees.
