Molybdomancy / cast-metal readings.

A solidified form and its shadow.

THE OBSERVATION

Look closely.

Molybdomancy reads forms produced by cast metal as symbolic images. Finnish New Year customs offer one documented context for interpreting shapes and shadows. Record the actual material: historical casting alloys may contain lead, even when described as tin.

A STARTING PROTOCOL

Make a record.

Begin with photographs or documented existing casts. Record the source, known material, lighting and viewing angle; describe the form and its shadow before adding a symbolic reading. This field note does not call for melting lead or unknown alloys.

Keep the original observation, the method and any interpretation together in the record.
