Divination Intro

Like any other school of Magick, Divination uses many different methods in order to divine esoteric knowledge, including the past, present, and possible future. 

Important note: It is important to remember that, no matter the type of divinatory practices used, no single person is able to tell the future. There are always variables at play that may change your future and your destiny. Divination simple says that, should things continue as they are, this is the most likely outcome of the situation.

How does divination work? 

In and around all things is a flow of energy. You can think of this flow of energy as the circle of life type of thing from Lion King. “The circle of life flows through us all”, or, like water: Water particles are everywhere, even in the air we breath, and is thus constantly in motion. Same with energy. Energy makes up the very fabric of our existence, making us connected to everything around us.

Here’s a witchy secret they don’t often bother to tell you: We are connected to this energy, and this energy is connected to all things. Energy, at its base, is information.

When we tap into this energy, we are able to see the information that the energy has to give us. Different diviners use different methods of tapping into this energy, but it’s all the same.

Kinds of Divination:

By no means is this list exhaustive. As mentioned before, there are many ways in which diviners practice divination. None is better than the other, and all accomplish basically the same thing. There are a few that I have dabbled in, and a lot that I have not.

Cartomancy

The most common and well known form of divination is divining using a deck of cards, most commonly tarot. Among the cards are different sets of titles and imagery that is meant to invoke some sort of reaction from your intuition. The best way to work with the tarot, oracle, or any other deck of cards is allow the cards to speak to you, and not you for it. In other words, allow there to be a natural progression as you read the tarot, instead of forcing meanings where there may be none.

Runes (Futhark)

Runes are another form of divination that use ancient symbols housing esoteric wisdom to divine. According to the legends which I’ve read, the runes are Norse in origin, but the exact details of how they came to be is a mystery. It is said that they were sacred to the Norse goddess Freya, and were possibly even discovered by her. She then introduced then to Odin, the Allfather, god of war, and the greater mysteries. Odin, who became fascinated by them, hung himself in a tree to die a shamanic death, and was then reborn as Odin the Runemaster. At some point, it is rumored that Odin then gifted the runes to man. 

Whatever the legends, the runes do have an energy all their own, but are not quite as easy as the tarot to read. They are symbols, ancient and unknown in origin, not pretty little colored images on a deck of cards. The best way to work with runes is to learn their general meaning, and allow them to expand their knowledge to you over time. 

Scrying

Scrying is another popular form of divination that uses a smooth, reflective surface in order to “See” images within the depths. Most commonly, crystal balls, black mirrors, and bowls of water are used. 

This form of divination is difficult to master, and takes tremendous patience. Thus, I will not be able to go into further detail about this at present.

Osteomancy

“Throwing bones” as it were. I’ve had more time to learn a little bit more about this, and I have a very basic understanding of how this form of divination works. 

Osteomancy uses bones, preferably from small animals, as well as other shells, beads, and curios collective known as the “bones” thrown out onto a cloth to divine the future. Depending on where the bones land, the diviner is then able to use their meaning to paint a picture of the quarents future, past, and present. 

I’ve read a few blog posts about this form, and it seems that, most commonly, osteomancers use what is known as “animism” the idea that everything has a spirit and is alive, in order to divine. While this may or may not be true, I believe that bone throwing employs the use to psychometry in order to decipher the bones.

Which brings me to my last point…

Psychometry

Psychometry is a powerful way to exercise your “Psychic muscles”, but it also takes a lot of patience to learn. Psychometry refers to the latent or inherent or learned ability to perceive residual information off of objects and/or people, usually by touch. 

Psychometry is best practiced in one of two ways. 

Collect various, preferably older items, such as necklaces, pocket watches, other small antiques, wood, shells, etc. Place all of the items under a cloth or under a bowl and then shuffle them around, making sure that you shuffle long enough for you to have no way of knowing where each item is. You then place your hand over the object, fell its energy, and try and divine what the object is. It’ll take time, but your accuracy will vastly improve, and you’ll find that other esoteric things come to you easily.

Find random objects such as old building bricks, signs, lampposts, antiques, etc. and place your hand on them. Close your eyes, and try to sense the object. See all of the memories that it houses within. Who did it belong to? What has it witnessed? Where did it come from? Eventually, you’ll begin to gain an understanding of the objects around you even without needing to touch them and close your eyes. Then, eventually, you’ll be able to divine a person’s past, present, and future using the same exact method, giving you yet another tool in your divinatory arsenal.

There are, of course, many MANY other methods that I missed. The ones I mentioned above are simply the ones that I personally have, so far, dabbled in. The tarot, of course, is my strongest practice, but others are working their way up there as well.

Short list of other divination practices:

Tesseomancy- Tea leaf reading

Pyromancy- Fire scrying

Lithomancy- Stone throwing

Pendulum- Divining with a heavy, pointed object on a chain

Numerology- Divining with numbers

Astrology- Divining using the stars and their alignments

Automatic writing/Drawing- Divining by closing your eyes and allowing your subconscious mind to write/draw

it’s that time of year again 

Tarot 101: Using Personality Types to Understand Court Cards

One of the ways we might read court cards, as I discussed in the previous part of my Tarot 101 series, is to look at them as people. A pulled tarot card might represent yourself or someone in your life, or you might even choose to select a court card as a signifier to intentionally represent yourself or someone else in a reading. But how do you choose? We can personalize and analyze the qualities of each card to understand how a selected court card might represent one person or another, but one interesting way of attaching personality these cards that has been discussed is using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test.

What is Myers-Briggs?

By Jake Beech - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0 

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test (MBTI) is a “personality inventory” test used to make Carl Jung’s psychological research “understandable and useful” for people (Myers & Briggs Foundation). The test asks subjects to identify preferences based on the four dichotomies from Jung’s theories:

Favorite world - used to define Extraverted (E) or Introverted (I) personality types

Information - used to define Sensing (S) or Intuition (N) personality types 

Decisions - used to define Thinking (T) or Feeling (F) personality types

Structure - used to define Judging (J) or Perceiving (P) personality types

When the result of each of these dichotomies is defined, a personality type is expressed in a four character “code” (Myers & Briggs Foundation).

(You can take the MBTI test here.)

What About Court Cards? 

There are sixteen possible MBTI personality types (you can learn more about each type from the Myers-Briggs Foundation here). There are also sixteen court cards in a standard tarot deck with four face cards in each suit. The personality types can be more broadly attached to suits overall. For instance, Wands and Cups are both intuitive (N) suits, but wands are thinking (T) while cups are feeling (F). Swords and Pentacles can be paired in the same way. Both Swords and Pentacles are sensing (S) suits, but Swords are thinking (T) while Pentacles are feeling (F) (TarotX). 

Using the MBTI personality codes can help us understand the ways that the suits interact with in a deck and how the different court cards differ from one another. As an example, we can look at the Knight of Wands and the Knight of Cups. Both intuitive individuals, but the Knight of Wands takes more time to think logically while the Knight of Cups is more considerate of people’s feelings and emotionally driven consequences. 

It is also useful for breaking down stereotypes that are often embedded in the court cards, such as masculine power over feminine individuals with the implication that the Kings are move valuable cards than the Queens. (Plot twist: they’re equally capable and powerful cards, they just operate differently.) All MBTI personality types are equally valuable, and the court cards are too.

Suit of Pentacles

Knowing your own MBTI personality type (or other’s) can be useful for getting a deeper understanding of the way court cards function should you choose to read them as people. It can also help you select signifiers by selecting the card that matches your particular personality type or selecting a card with a personality type you’d like to embody. For instance, if you are INTJ (Queen of Wands), you may choose to signify that you want to be more extroverted by placing an ENTJ (King of Wands) card.

Understanding and using MBTI tests and types and understanding Jung’s theories (which have been used to develop modern understandings of tarot and shadow work) is one way that you can continue to deepen your readings and give yourself more resources for approaching readings beyond card keywords.

Successful Job Interview Spell

I just completed this spell for a friend who has a job interview tomorrow, to help give them confidence and make a good first impression. Here's what I used.

Materials:

Tealight candle

Rosemary

Bay leaf

A penny

Tarot deck

Process:

I took the tealight candle out of the metal holder and placed the penny in the bottom.

I took five cards from the tarot deck;

The Emperor, for authority

The Ace of Pentacles, for financial success

The Fool, for new beginnings

The Magician, for the skills to succeed

The Star, for confidence

And placed them around the tealight candle one at a time, stating their purpose.

I lit the candle and placed a few rosemary leaves in the melting wax for protection against negative energy.

I wrote my intention on the bay leaf: "[Friend's Name] will get a job offer soon." Then I burned the bay leaf using the flame from the tealight candle. (Have a bowl nearby to drop the leaf in in case it catches fire quickly, don't burn your fingers!)

I visualized my friend at their interview tomorrow, then getting the job offer, then starting their new job. I did this until I could see the penny underneath the melted wax.

If you try this spell, let me know how it goes!
