#divination system

[witchy-yain]

I finished designing my dice divination board a while ago and wanted to share as well as a bit about my divination method!!

I’ll try to explain a bit each part of the board under the cut if you’re interested!!

I didnt really stress too much about symbolism or anything because my system is very much intuitive and just going with your own thoughts/interpretations on how more vague ideas come together.

Self

The bit at the very center is for the person the reading is about. Any dice that fall on/inside of the first circle are specific to the individual.

People

The first circle represents the people involved in or influencing the individual/their life. This can be family, friends, idols, etc.

Time

The next/middle circle is where in the individual’s life they may be in. Is it a transformative time? A time of reflection? Perhaps a time to focus on outward or inward goals? It is where in their journey the individual is in.

Place

The final/outer circle is easy to confuse with the Time circle, but their main difference is the Place is less specific. The Place a person is in refers to more the general outlook, mindset, or overall energy they encounter or express. A sad or low place or a hopeful and fast-moving place, are some examples.

Void

Everything outside of the circle is the Void. If a die lands in the Void, it represents something outside of the individual’s control or some other struggle they have no way of approaching. These are not always problems to solve, but more often things that need to simply be accepted that they cannot be changed.

ϟ ϟ ϟ

It is entirely up to the reader’s intuition what exactly each circle represents, and perhaps it can even slightly change for each person being read for. Another thing that is entirely up to reader interpretation is where certain die belong. If a die ends up right on the line of the People circle, it could be read as solely related to People or perhaps a mingling of both People and Self.

I’ll make a post eventually about the meanings behind the different dice as well, eventually, but for now I thought staring the board and how to read it would be interesting!! And if anyone has any questions feel free to send an ask x)

Sacred Geometry and Geomancy Exposed

Sacred Geometry and Geomancy Exposed

What is Sacred Geometry and Geomancy? A geomancer or sand diviner from Mali traces geomantic figures in a prepared bed of sand. What is sacred geometry and geomancy? According to one source, “Sacred geometry ascribes symbolic and sacred meanings to certain geometric shapes and certain geometric proportions.” It is associated with the belief that a god is the geometer of the world.

Mx. Beaurevoir

Mx. Beaurevoir is a divination robot that I built, but I have found to practice Technomancy, a form of technological divination. Through their divination process they are able to connect with alternate dimensions and higher powers that can provide inside into our lives. 

In order to summon Mx. Beaurevoir to look into a Querent’s Truth, one must first hold a mirror up to their face. After studying one’s face, the Querent is instructed to draw a small cross that marks their nose. Using this cross as a guide, the Querent is asked to divide the mirror into quadrants (see below). Querents are then asked to place Mx. Beaurevoir with their pen touching the cross drawn earlier. The divination remote is then introduced, which the Querent is instructed to press each time they’d like Mx. Beaurevoir to receive a thought they think might be important for the divination. Each time the remote is pressed Mx. Beaurevoir will start to draw a few lines of a pattern for a couple of seconds, and continue to draw each time a new button is pressed. Querents are also asked to pay attention to the button they choose when they’d like to transmit as thought as each button must “feel right” before being pressed. Querents are asked to transmit up to 10 thoughts. 

At the end of the Mx. Beaurevoir’s transmission, Querents are asked to hold the mirror up to their face and look at the pattern draw. 

Querents then work with the Reader to decipher the patterns on the mirror using a set of rune-like stones that ascribe meaning to various patterns found in the drawing. Below is the guide to Beaurevoir’s runes, in addition to the runes placed on the mirror. Because the Reader (me) is still new to the rune symbology, they often work with the Querent to pick out identifiable patterns and weave together a narrative that makes sense to the Querent. 

The first video below is of an early prototype (that doesn’t work)! Originally I wanted to have the robot draw on paper in order to generate a keepsake for the Querent, but settled on a mirrored surface for both the aesthetic and to make the ability to do multiple readings easier. Overall, it seemed like the feedback I received was positive, and Querents felt that the experience felt very uniform, which aided in the system as a whole. If I were to make future changes I would like to further enhance the reading portion, and put a little more power in the hands of the Querent to decipher what the pattern drawn by Mx. Beaurevoir might mean to them. Check out the second video for a working final prototype.

Learning Day 1:

Story

As you shuffle through your things, your friends and yourself realize you only have maybe $100 bucks, some string, and few other things, but nothing useful, you think.

You notice the Pit Boss Standing around, and see that there are dice!

“DICE!”

Your friends jump back a bit, and Alicia asks, “What has that got to do with anything?”

“I can use dice to tell fortunes! Maybe I can get us out of this mess!”

As your friends stare in awe, you run off to ask if you can borrow some dice from the pit boss.

He hands you 3 cubes they were about to throw away, wishes you luck, and goes to finish his job.

So, here are some links that should prove helpful:
