This may seem a little far fetched when you read about the dream, but just yesterday I came home and I saw that my dog had gotten out of the backyard and hit by a car. It was very sad and all and when I found her i started hyperventilating and my whole body locked i to place on the floor. Another important thing is that I always park my car facing my house, this day i parked it facing away for no particular reason. This stood out to me after thinking about it because about a week ago I had a dream where my car was facing away from my house but it was flipped on it side. When I went back in my house (In the dream) there was a pitch black figure hiding behind my couch. I wasn't scared or anything but when i turned to the hallway to my room, it was standing in the way. The next thing i remember is us both sitting down on the floor in that same place and im hitting it with a pillow while crying. A leaned into it for some reason and then it picked me up by my back and i couldnt move. Then I woke up. This was just strange to me because i record all of my dreams and I've had one come yrue in a sence before and i cant help but think i was forewarned and didnt listen. What do you all think? By the way I am a practicing witch and i do all sorts of things before i go to bed to maybe have a divinitory dream.

I did love work one Venus day to enchant some herbs, cologne and salt for love workings. I am an Aphrodite devotee so I set out an offering for her before doing the working and asked for her blessings over my items. I let the candle burn all the way down and I noticed as it was burning down, the melted wax was reaching over to the direction of the items I wished to enchant. I interpreted it as the energy being produced by the flame and intention of the work being transferred into my items. I thought this because usually, with this specific type of candle, the wax would be a lot less and form a small puddle at the base. However, I’m new to this so I would appreciate some insight that could perhaps give me a different perspective or better understanding.

Is there anything you see?

I am wondering, if other people are finding inconsistencies with their readings when it comes to people who are doing the medical assistance and dying. What I have found in using multiple different forms of divination that I will either get the date that they had made the decision that they are going to do the procedure, or the date that the doctor comes to their house after the 90 days or the actual date that they do the procedure. When I say date, I am meaning the timeframe I am not meaning 11 March at 2 PM. I am meaning the month of January perhaps the middle that kind of determination of timeframe. I’m just finding that with this procedure it’s actually making my readings. Be very inconsistent with the timeframe. Even though all three dates might be very significant I feel that the date that I should be getting or the timeframe I should be getting is the time of when they’re doing the procedure. My questions are very clear or the reading that I am doing is for a year period but I’m finding that when it comes to medical assistance in dying, I inconsistently get the three different time frames. Is anybody else running into this issue? If you are, can I ask what you have done to try and make things consistent.

Last night I was on medication (doctor's orders) in the bathtub and I was slipping in and out of consciousness. At one point a bluish light spread over my open eyes and I saw a vision. It depicted 12 women standing around the moon, and the glowing, white moon. Then it changed to a woman standing directly in front of me. I couldn't see any features but she had long hair, some sort of head band, and a bow on her back. I THINK it was a depiction of Artemis but I don't know exactly. Anyone have any thoughts?

(Image above is the closest I could find to what I saw, online)

Does anyone know of a good numerology book and/or resources that helps teach numerology for cartomancy? Preferably something like keywords instead of paragraphs. Also, one that also gives negative meanings for numbers? Ex: 5 can mean chaos etc. I'm trying to expand my knowledge. Thanks so much!

I asked my cards for help in identifying my deity. The hanged man is fairly obviously Odin, but the fact that he didn't appear in the center, which represents the deity themselves has me a little confused. What are your thoughts?

Since the picture I took is a little unclear: Card 1 in the center is the deity, and is in this case represented with 7 of chalices. Cards 2 through 5 are traits. Starting to the left and going clockwise: Knight of coins The hanged man Six of wands Two of chalices Cards 6 and 7 are to be symbols (continuing clockwise) Two of swords Knight of chalices.

Thank you in advance!

AFAIK Bazi is known to predict cycles of life and fortune/personality, but can it predict appearance?

Hey, so i'm getting more into the divination part of stuff, and i saw that oracle decks sont have a set amount of cards, and every deck is a system of their own, so on that note, could i make a deck based on a series, movie, game or stuff?

I have heard quite a lot about three styles and it is surprising that quite no one really talks about Tai yi shen shu (太乙神數). Also only handful books regarding Tai yi shen shu are published. So can anyone recommend any books or online lectures that are translated in english ?

Happy New Moon! Did you know today’s New Moon not only is the first New Moon of the year but also kicks off signals the beginning of Chinese Lunar New Year? 🎊🐍🎊

❔❔FAQ: What is Lot casting? ❔❔

Answer: A lot is a collection of objects, including stones, twigs, shells, buttons, or bones. Each object is designated with either "yes" or "no" on opposite sides. The majority determines the outcome of the throw. I use five buttons from a family collection that has been passed down for generations. One button is made of stone, another is made of mother of pearl, a third is made of what I believe is pig bone, one is made of wood, and the final button is made of Bakelite.

Hi all,

I have a pendulum that I purchased a few months ago but I haven’t really did a deep dive with it.

I worked with it a little bit, I got to the point of being able to do “circles” with it - focus on it swinging counterclockwise, clockwise; reverse. I’ve watched several videos, but I don’t feel comfortable enough with it to do reliable divination. Does any one have any suggestions? It’s fragile, so I don’t necessarily want to have it around me in a bag or anything.

Thanks in advance!

For those who believe that the spirit board is a real tool, how do you get it to work alone. I've done it with friends and it's worked but never works for me alone.

I've always been a big believer in the mirroring theory — just the idea that you can usually look around and see uncanny examples of things happening to people that are similar to your own.

Recently, I felt compelled to pick up a book in a series that I've been reading on and off, diverting from what my next read was going to be. Since the beginning, I've been noticing eerie similarities between this story and my actual life. While I'm tempted to believe it's another case of mirroring, I've never had this happen with a book before.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

So, I live in a small apartment, and that means I have an elevator. The thing is, every time I go to the elevator to get home (It's specifically to get home, not to leave my house), the button is already active. I assumed it was just someone pressing it before me, but now that I think about it, 9/10 times, the button is already pressed. Not to mention, recently, when I got in the elevator, my floor was already pressed (yet it still came to the ground floor??), as if someone wanted me to go home. I believe it may be Hestia, but I'd like a second opinion. This also only occurs when I'm alone, so I find it rather odd.

Hi folks! I have been re-reading the His Dark Materials with the intention of creating a Tarot deck based on the series. I’m honestly surprised that a series that is so enmeshed with divination does not have some form of deck based on the story.

As I was re-reading and feeling frustrated that a) getting even a decent recreation of the Alethiometer is impossible b) there aren’t any HDM decks out there I decided to make my own divination tool using the exact image of the Alethiometer that I think was produced by a publishing company of the books. I have the image printed and am planning on using it as a pendulum board, but I am unsure of how I can best use a pendulum to replicate the movements of the needle on the Alethiometer. I know how I want to pose the question and I think that using Lyra’s technique of holding the question in her mind + holding 3 symbols in my mind will be sufficient. However, I am still playing around with how to interpret the pendulum movements as an approximation of the needle movements.

Has anyone here tried something similar OR if you are familiar with HDM have any suggestions for replicating the Alethiometer?

Thank you!

Some of the stuff felt true as some of it didn't like I kept asking is it ok if I imagine I have powers in shows I like and it kept saying no and when I phrased it differently it said yes (also if no one mind can someone please explain what comparing yourself to the gods mean I'm a little confused by it) also I had online tarot cards and sometimes it gave me truthful stuff and other times it felt like I was forcing it to be true

Also I know this isn't really related to the other question but I don't really feel like creating another thread is it ok if I imagine myself in epic the musical I really like it and I don't think it 100 percent lines up to the myth and really worried if I imagine myself with magic in it it would be considered comparing myself to the gods even though I don't want magic like that in real life

I have a lot of dreams, some I remember some I don't. the ones I don't remember for long periods of time are usually deja vu, where I actually like... remember I dreamed things that are happening and I sometimes can remember I dreamed it and ​​know what happens before it does, depending on how quickly i realize it. However I have weird dreams as well, like i remember i saw my friend fall off a cliff and she just... d!3d and it wasnt an accident or on purpose it just... happened. As well as a few nights ago i was in my house and these three women came in, supposedly reporting on me and stuff but they were just... sitting there looking at my closet. they said "Show us the lights" and i tried to turn on my lights but something kept turning them off, i dont understand it but I know theres meaning. Nothing prompts these dreams, nothing I do and no situations ive noticed, and I just recently started divination, tarot and pendulums, and I was wondering how I could use what I remember about these dreams, or how to remember them more how I can use them in my daily life

Hello Reddit, the situation is: I have been a long time practitionner, and I had recently decided to open availabilites for tarot consultations. The success has been overwhelming; but ever since I started to read cards every day, I feel extremely drained. It has now escalated to my entire body feeling pain, as if i've run a marathon. My muscles and articulations feel tense. I have long known that whenever I divinate, it takes a toll energetically wise. I feel tired, and have to limit the amount of readings I can do in one day.

Do you have any idea what the mechanics of this are, and if so, how do I protect myself or find a solution to prevent this extreme energetic drainage? I would love any and all information one may have about this topic.

Does anyone know anything about speaking to a dead spirit? I am good at tarot and was thinking I could use that but my worry is that I would be speaking to a spirit that isn’t a dead loved one and was wondering if there was anyway that I can assure I’m speaking directly to who I want to

A few years ago, I was going through an awful, awful time in my life. I was searching for answers and help through many different avenues, and landed upon the subject of scrying mirrors. I’m not a practitioner of any type of divination or magicks, but again, I was desperate for any help in decision making. I hope this is not offensive; I don’t mean it to be. And this is probably a stupid question anyway. I bought a picture frame, and placed a black piece of paper inside. I followed directions to invite forces into it, to help me with scrying. I wish I could remember the website, otherwise I’d link it here to describe what I mean. I made sure to say that I only invite good and positive forces into it. Again, I mean NO disrespect here, because I know I sound silly thinking I knew what I was doing.

My question is, do I need to follow a certain procedure to revert it back to just a picture frame? A cleansing or some such? I’ve been hesitant on posting here, so please go easy on me. I just don’t want to disrespect anything I don’t have control over. Thanks for reading, I appreciate any help.

was outside this morning smoking and talking to into the ether, i always ask for guidance and for the conversation to continue… anyway i’ve seen messages/symbols in trees before but I’m having trouble with this one as they appear to be straight up letters! what does this look like to you? another language? i’m stumped

There is a person who already had multiple rune readings with me.

Is asking me for another rune to help him interpret a dream they had.

However, I'm not sure how effective would runes be with dream interpretations.

What y'all think?

My friend recommended a tool for numerology analysis. I got this report and I'm curious if the analysis is accurate, especially the meanings of the characters "耀" and "堅". Could anyone take a look?

Five Element Distribution (Based on Birth Information):

Year: 1951 (辛卯 - Metal Rabbit)

Month: 酉月 (Metal Month)

Day: 丁亥 (Fire Day)

Hour: 乙未 (Wood Hour)

Five Elements Count:

Wood: 2

Fire: 1

Earth: 1

Metal: 2

Water: 1

Analysis of Imbalance:

Mark's Five Element composition is slightly heavy on Metal and Wood, while Fire (vital for creativity and passion) is weaker.

Earth (stability and grounding) is neutral but may benefit from enhancement to stabilize his energy, especially given his artistic and varied career.

Auspicious Character Recommendations

Based on Mark's Five Element needs and career trajectory, I recommend the following auspicious characters:

Character:「耀」

Pronunciation: ㄧㄠˋ (Yào)

Element: Fire

Meaning: Brilliance, radiance, glory.

Rationale: This character complements Mark’s creative brilliance, symbolizing his glowing contributions to entertainment. It enhances his weaker Fire element, encouraging passion and sustained inspiration.

Character:「堅」

Pronunciation: ㄐㄧㄢ (Jiān)

Element: Earth

Meaning: Firm, resolute, steadfast.

Rationale: This character strengthens the Earth element, providing grounding and stability to balance his artistic flair. It represents resilience and determination, qualities that resonate with his career longevity.

I’d like to learn tarot, and was hoping there’d be an effective app at teaching me, so k can learn on the go (preferably with something that will test me as I go.) Are there any apps that will do this?

This is just a variety of resources and tips I've written or collected myself. I've been reading with bones for over 30 years, and teaching others how to use them fort most of that time as well.

Feel free to ask questions or add your own comments!

Some of the best cleromancy/osteomancy/charmancy/bone throwing resources, IMHO:

• https://smile.amazon.com/Magic-Stones-Llewellyns-New-Age/dp/0875422721/
  • Another lithomancy book, with arguably the best how to read exercises and chapters, from clusters to shapes to flow. HIGHLY recommended.... but can be hard to find. THE BEST book out there, right now, IMHO.
• https://smile.amazon.com/Dreamstones-Magic-Living-Rhea-Loader/dp/1853270547
  • A step by step intro to a developed lithomancy system, but is very useful because 1) gives you ideas for basic bones to include and 2) has EXCELLENT exercises to slowly develop your reading skills. Also a MUST HAVE, and one I keep extra copies of for giving to my students. It really is one of the most thoughtful books on the topic.
• https://www.amazon.com/Bones-Shells-Curios-Contemporary-Casting/dp/0971961271/
  • Michele Jackson's opus - one of the best overviews of bone reading and the process out there. Not the best (some of the how to is not super detailed, as I remember), but definitely a standard and an EXCELLENT start, especially if you also have a teacher or ... ahem .... internet forum to ask your questions on. :)
• https://www.amazon.com/Divination-Osteomancy-Beginners-Guide-Throwing-ebook/dp/B099WG6QCC
  • A really decent start at the hows of bone reading, including some less discussed topics. Highly recommended as well, especially for beginners.
• https://smile.amazon.com/Lithomancy-Psychic-Art-Reading-Stones-ebook/dp/B008B9AKIY/
  • Lithomancy is bone reading with only stones - which means you can replace the stones with any bone you'd like. Has very in-depth descriptions of throws and how to read them, and lots of details for the whole process.
• https://smile.amazon.com/Charm-Casting-Rebecca-Anuwen/dp/B08STSRW3R/
  • Cheap on kindle, this is an introduction to charm casting - which is a new name for bone reading. Great for the lists of potential bones to consider, and for some basic reading tips.
• https://www.amazon.com/Between-Worlds-Shadowcasting-Curio-Oracle/dp/0764364332
  • If you want to dip your toes in the water and avoid a pile of bones, or just really love cards instead - this can be an inspiring read to give you ideas on how to read certain kinds of bones.

Where to find bones for your set:

• Etsy and Ebay often have lots of bones, but the best resource is from animals you've already eaten yourself (those chicken bones left after the KFC gorgefest) or from reliable sites like boneroom.com
• All kinds of bits and bobs are available on temu, wish, ali baba, etc. for cheap
• Go for a walk around your neighborhood - there are so so many bits and bobs lying around, from nuts and seeds to twigs and stones, to bottlecaps, bits of car from an accident, bolts, hexnuts, etc.
• Pet stores - the fish area usually has all sorts of decorative bits that make for excellent "bones" - shells, glass baubles, driftwood you can cut up, etc.
• craft stores - beads, toys (like leg or those miniature things you can collect), bits of wood you can mark or paint
• hardware stores - so many nails and brads and nuts and bolts and so on
• computer stores / your cord box - tiny USB drives you can use, cut off cord plugs, bits of circuit boards
• make them! get some clay (ploymer, air dry, whatever) and just sculpt them. Maake them out of beads.
• new age stores - often have lots of polished stones and crystals and such
• game stores - dice! the markers from games! marbles!
• antique stores - all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff to be found (where i got my false eye and some human teeth)
• garden centers - esp in the spring, when they have huge collections of seeds - I ordered some sword bean seeds online, and they're awesome (about an inch long, bright magenta naturally)
• parks, beaches, and outside in general - so many natural bits and bobs can be found just lying around.

Don't be afraid to paint or otherwise treat anything you find.

• I have a rabbit poo that I coated with / soaked in resin.
• Inspired by fordite, I made a giant chunk of layers of different colors of nail polish
• Also have a nicely matted hairball form one of our cats.
• A chicken wing bone can be painted in all sorts of beautiful ways,
• and marking a jawbone for good/bad communication has a LONG tradition.
• I've beaded bones, wrapped them in wire and thread, sewed colored floss into buttons, and more.

I'm trying to do art and fiction writing around the idea of Divination practices, and Osteomancy is especially intriguing to me.

Would you suggest me some resources so I can get a grasp of how it works? Any historical / cultural contexts, and actual rituals and interpretation modes I can learn about would be super helpful.

Thank you in advance friends!

Hello everyone! This is the first time I am writing here!

Last year I recived a Tarot deck and a Pendulum as a gift. I started practising and learning by doing intuitive exercises almost every day. I actually prefer the Pendulum because imo can give more correct and almost completely accurate answers.

Recently I have experienced a ‘dragging sensation’ in my practice: for days I had been interpreting the number 222 as a sign and consequently I was doing a divination each time.
Yesterday I decided to slow down in order to avoid getting further caught up in this feeling that generates anxiety and stress for me.
I don't want to get into a psychotic spiral.

Since I really enjoy divination, I would like to start practising again more slowly than before, step by step like a baby. I have started meditating, which I never did the other times.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to start over? Do you have any advice for me on how to start with the basics?

Thank you very much in advance for your answers :)
