Pagtatawas is a divination ritual in pseudomedicine in Filipino psychology (but considered superstition in Western psychology), carried out by the mangtatawas (literally "user of tawas"). It attempts to diagnose an affliction or psychological disorder by interpreting shapes produced in water by heated alum or molten wax droppings from a burning candle.
