Snake in Wax Reading
An enemy and treachery. This is a heavy sign — a warning, not a verdict: its place and the neighboring shapes will show how serious it is.
Core Meaning
A snake means an enemy and treachery. In Turkish coffee reading, a snake almost always means someone who wishes you ill, more often a woman; in the Russian tradition, betrayal and spiteful words. A coiled snake means a hidden threat; a snake with its head raised, an open one. In rare interpretations, the snake means wisdom and healing if there are many light signs nearby.
In the wax. A snake in the wax warns of treachery from people you know, while a long, wavy one points to a wise solution to a difficult matter.
In Love and Business
In love. A rival, infidelity, poisonous words.
In business and money. Someone at work wishes you ill, intrigue; keep your documents to yourself.
What It Looks Like in Wax
- Large shape: a serious warning, worth taking to heart.
- Small shape: a minor nuisance that is easy to avoid.
- In the shadow on the wall: a hidden worry or ill will you don't know about yet; if the signs in the wax itself are light, all looks well on the outside, but something is left unsaid.
- Clarity: clear outlines are a sure sign; blurred ones mean the event may still change. If the wax set in fragments, each fragment is read as a separate shape.
In Combinations
Snake and Dog — an enemy posing as a friend, or a friend who will protect you from an enemy.
Snake and Eye — envy and an ill-wisher close by.
