Divination

Divination is the art or technique of gaining knowledge of future events or distant states by means of observing and interpreting signs omens or by using paranormal or supernatural powers.

Various objects or events may serve as media of divination our ancestors have used whatever was at hand to divine the future, knucklebones, entrails, sticks, stones and shells have been used to divine the future. Astrology I Ching, and tarot reading are among the common well known methods of divination in use today.Divination is one of the primary practices used by witches, sorcerers, and shamans who train in the practice and interpretation of their divinatory skills.

Our own theory is that they work using the unconscious mind, natural energies and spirits to discern the outcome of the questions we put. With practice you can hone your intuition of the signs you see in the world around you and using your favourite divination method.

There are two basic practices of divination.

   1 The observation and interpretation of natural phenomena, unexpected storms, particular cloud formations, howling or unnatural actions in animals, astrology and unusual dreams.

   2 The observation and interpretation of man-made phenomena deliberately produced for the purpose of divination things such as pouring oil into a basin of water to observe the formation of bubbles and rings in the receptacle, casting lots, and numerous other acts.
