Divination magick

Divination is the practice of seeking insight, guidance, or knowledge about the future or unknown through supernatural or intuitive means. It is an ancient and widespread practice found in various cultures and spiritual traditions throughout history. Divination can be approached in different ways, using various tools, techniques, or intuitive abilities.

Here are some common forms of divination:

Tarot Reading: Tarot cards are a popular tool for divination. A tarot deck consists of 78 cards with symbolic images that are interpreted to provide guidance and insight into different aspects of life, including relationships, career, and spiritual growth.

Astrology: Astrology involves studying the positions and movements of celestial bodies to interpret their influence on individuals and events. It is based on the belief that celestial bodies can provide insights into personality traits, life events, and future possibilities.

Runes: Runes are ancient symbols or letters carved on stones or pieces of wood. They are used in divination to receive guidance and answers to specific questions. The runes are typically drawn or cast, and their meanings are interpreted based on their position and the intuitive insights they evoke.

Scrying: Scrying is a practice of gazing into a reflective surface, such as a crystal ball, mirror, or water, to induce a state of altered consciousness and receive visions or symbolic messages. The interpretation of what is seen relies on the practitioner's intuitive abilities.

Pendulum Divination: Pendulum divination involves suspending a weighted object, such as a crystal or metal pendant, and asking yes or no questions. The movement or direction of the pendulum is interpreted as a response from the spiritual realm.

Numerology: Numerology is the study of the symbolic meanings of numbers and their influence on human life. It involves calculating and interpreting numbers associated with names, birthdates, or events to gain insight into personality traits, life cycles, and potential outcomes.

Palmistry: Palmistry, also known as chiromancy, involves analyzing the lines, shapes, and features of the palm to interpret personality traits, character, and potential life events. Different areas of the hand are associated with different aspects of life, such as love, career, and health.

Tea Leaf Reading: Tea leaf reading, or tasseography, is a form of divination in which patterns and symbols formed by tea leaves in a cup are interpreted to gain insight into the future or receive guidance. The reader interprets the symbols and images left by the tea leaves.

It is important to approach divination with an open mind and understanding that it does not provide absolute predictions but offers guidance, possibilities, and insights into the energies and influences surrounding a situation or person. The effectiveness of divination depends on the skill, intuition, and connection of the practitioner with the chosen tool or technique.

How I do dream divination

One way that I love to do divination is by analyzing my dreams! This can be very hard, because the first step is to remember your dreams. It’s a skill that takes a while to get the hang of, but once you do have it. It will help with opening a new door of divination experience to you.

What is dream divination?

First let’s go over what dream divination is and isn’t. Dream divination is exactly what it sounds and reads like. Doing divination with the dreams that you remember or that stick out to you. Dream divination is not divinating every dream. Sometimes you have dreams that are meant to be interpreted and sometimes you dream to just dream. The brain is weird and amazing at the same time, but not everything is spiritual and is just your brain just doing brain things.

Is dream divination safe? Is it beginner friendly?

Is it safe? Yes and no. Don’t worry you won’t get hurt physically. But, I believe that when we are sleeping we are at one of our most vulnerable states spiritually. It is to me like basically opening a door to let in the spirits you wish to communicate with, this could be deities, guides, angels, ancestors, etc. It only really becomes “unsafe” when you don’t close that door or have a bouncer by the door letting in who can enter and keeping out who can’t. What will happen if you don’t close that door or you don’t have a filter? In my experience is that some spirits or energies will enter my space and basically feed off me while I’m sleeping. I might get nightmares, or really weird, uncanny type dreams. And the next morning I’m more tired than I normally would be. But, nothing physical has ever happened to me. So, is it beginner safe? Yes, BUT ONLY if you know how to do basic protection.

Why do I do dream divination?

I personally love dream divination. It is something that not only works me spiritually, but mentally as well. When I am doing dream divination I am testing my memory as well as my interpretation skills. I am testing my knowledge on symbols, omens, and helping my memory improve while doing so. My spirit team which consists of my deities, guides, and spirits I work with on either the regular or have a huge impact on my practice seem to prefer communicating this way. They send me signs of lessons or messages they have for me, they will send dreams of offerings they want from me. My guides actually came to me in a dream, to answer some questions that I had for them. Aphrodite and a nature spirit both have sent me dreams of offerings and offerings rituals to tell me what they wanted.

How to do dream divination:

1. Set up some night time protections. This will not only help put a filter up for who can come talk to you, but it might also help you feel more relaxed and safe before bed. So win-win. This can be done with something basic like a crystal or little bag of protective herbs. I would also recommend using stones or herbs for divination, specifically for prophetic dreams, later to help encourage more dreams to get more practice. But, only after doing it a couple times on your own so you understand how you do dream divination.

2. Set an intention. Before, falling asleep I announce either in my head or out loud that I wish to communicate with (insert spirit) tonight in my dreams. And for them to send me signs that I will understand and recognize in my dream message. This will help whatever spirit you wish to communicate with to know you want to specifically talk to. I asked for signs that I will understand and recognize because it helped build my understanding on what to pay attention to in a dream.

3. Fall asleep, specifically REM sleep if possible. You get dreams at any point, but you get your most vivid dreams in REM sleep. But, do not worry. If you find if difficult to get into REM sleep or don’t have the most vivid dreams during REM sleep, you can still do dream divination. It can help if you know how to lucid dream, I’ve always been able to do it, but it took some time to actually get a good grip on the skill to use it to my advantage. This is not required, but might help. I’ve found that I’ve become more aware and remember more when I’m lucid dreaming. You might want to try learning that skill to try in combination with dream divination, just to see what it does for you. If you can’t do it or don’t want to, you don’t have to.

4. Figure out how your dream divination works. When you do dream divination, it is really important to be in tune with your intuition in some way. I actually find it very hard to be intuitive, so I understand if you have trouble with this. The best way to get into touch with your intuition is listening to your body. But, that’s another post for another day. When you have figured out you intuition process, apply that to your dream divination. I realized after years of doing it, mine is right when I wake up. You know the couple of seconds where you are the grumpiest person in the world if someone wakes you up too early? Yeah, that stage, is when I’m the most intuitive. When I woke up from meeting my guides I instantly thought “I just met my guides” when I had my offering dreams I thought “Aphrodite wants this”. I then felt myself reaching for my phone to write it down. I believe that whatever you remember from these dreams where you have a “this was a dream message or divination” is a message. Anything that sticks out in your memory, like the rest is murky but this one or these few parts is your message. From the smallest details to the biggest.

5. WRITE IT DOWN! This is the second most important step right behind protection. Write down your dreams. Trust me, you will not remember the details like you do 10 minutes from now or after your shower or after breakfast. Write it down immediately. Save yourself the headache.

6. Interpret. This is the fun part. From what you have written down, now is the time to pull out books, websites, other people‘s experiences. If you had a conversation with a cat look up what a cat’s significance in dreams are and what they mean in general and in other cultures, not to take their interpretation but it is always good to know, then think about the conversation. What were you talking about? How were you having the conversation? Were you interrupting the cat? Was the cat interrupting you? Think of questions like that and find the answers to them if you can.

Happy dreaming! ✨🌙🔮

☯

Choose a paper folding design that is simple and fun, like the frog. On twelve pieces of paper, write random answers like "most likely" or "perhaps not," and so on. Couple these with a quote from a spiritual text to employ humor, irony, or whatever best suits your answer, such as "Never fry bacon in the nude" or something more serious like "Truth is mighty and shall prevail."

Then fold each piece of paper into the designated shape and spend the day pulling them out whenever you need to answer a question, or distribute them to random people by chance or happenstance.

Finding small ways to serve as a sounding board and inspiration for others will help any witch feel more closely connected to the thoughts and feelings of those around them.

Random divination employs chaos and whimsy as well as our deep inner wisdom. Sharing your gifts can bring you a deep sense of joy and purpose.

I've been wanting to add a 5th deck choice to my shop and I am torn between these two.

I think the Silver Witchcraft is beautiful, but it's imagery is based on the RWS, and so is the Universal deck, so I worry that they are too similar to each other, that it would not make sense to offer both as choices.

I know the Deviant Moon can be a little off-putting but I love the designs, I love looking at it, I really love this deck, and I want to work with it more, I think it has a lot to offer people, but I worry that the "darker" designs may be off-putting to clients.

Thoughts?

Hello! My name is Mon, and this is my freshly made witchblr.

I'm currently on my researching phase of witchcraft, as I've only started for around a month-ish, so you can think of me as even younger than baby witches! I haven't practiced yet, I'm still trying to gather as much knowledge and master the basic stuff (meditation, visualization, etc.) as I wait for the pandemic to subside so I can start practicing for real.

But eventhough I'm extremely new to the craft, I've been drawn to the idea of chaos magick, draconic magick, divination magick (I've been drawn to symbols for such a long time,) and air magick (the air element has been my friend for years!)

Nothing is set in stone yet, though. There are a lot of interesting things when it comes to witchcraft, and I am excited to learn about it all before decidicing which path I should follow!

So if you can, please reblog this post, and feel free to hop into my PM! I'd love to gain new friends in my witchy journey.

Lastly, I'm a Southeast Asian! :D Asian witches where y'all at?!
