Molybdomancy (from ancient Greek μόλυβδος - molybdos "lead"[1] + mancy, probably after Greek μολυβδομαντεία - molybdomanteia or French molybdomancie[2]) is a technique of divination using molten metal. Typically molten lead or tin is dropped into water. This tradition is known in various cultures. FinlandIn Finland, shops sell ladles and small bullions in the shape of a horseshoe for this express purpose. Originally made from tin, now they are made from cheaper low-melting alloys based on lead. The practice is known as uudenvuodentina. The world's largest uudenvuodentina, {{convert|41|kg}}, was cast by members of the Valko volunteer fire department in Loviisa, Finland, in New Year 2010.[3][4] The shapes are often interpreted not only literally, but also symbolically: a bubbly surface refers to money, a fragile or broken shape misfortune. Ships refer to travelling, keys to career advancement, a basket to a good mushroom year, and a horse to a new car.[5] Germany, Austria, and SwitzerlandBleigießen is a traditional activity held at the New Year to predict the fortune of the coming year.[6] EU regulations passed in 2018 limit the sale of toxic lead-containing products, including molybdomancy kits. Alternatives involve dripping molten wax or tin rather than lead into water.[7]TurkeyThe tradition of molybdomancy is called "kurşun dökme" in Turkish (literally, "lead casting", "lead pouring") which is supposed to help with various spiritual problems, predict future, etc. The rituals vary, but they involve pouring molten lead into water.[8][9] Researchers from Ankara University performed a study of the effects of this tradition on the health of women. They reported risks of antimony poisoning and lead poisoning.[9] A similar traditional practice is used in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[10] See also
