So today I went to my local mall which happens to have an apothecary and I bought a tarot deck. I had to hide it when I got home because I am not in a house where I can be openly witchy, but I did shuffle it and pull a card before I pit it away. I asked what I can expect from this deck and got the king of pentacle which, based on the guidebook, seems like a good sign.
Hey everyone,
I’ve been wondering about the practice of keeping a journal for tarot readings and whether it’s truly essential. I’ve read that many people find it helpful for tracking their readings, analyzing patterns, and developing their intuition, but I’m not sure how crucial it is to the practice.
For those of you who do keep a tarot journal, what do you think is essential to include? Do you only note the cards drawn, or do you also add details like your state of mind, the context of the question, and your thoughts after the reading?
I’d love to hear your opinions and tips on how to structure a tarot journal to get the most out of it.
Thanks in advance for your responses and insights!
Hey, does anyone use crystals to increase intuition or any other functions? Has it been talked about here? How do you feel about it?
Please ask a question :)
I feel like I want to buy more, I'm very open to many perspectives, is it too much? These are all from my freshman college lunch money.
I still want to buy Rider Waite, Etteilla Variants, Thoth Decks, other archetype decks, Occult Tarot, and many many more..
Hi! Ive been working with pendulums for about 3 years now, but im wondering if there is a certain prayer or something like a pray I can say before a reading to make sure the reading turns out correct, or to make sure random spirits aren't messing with it.
Hi, I’m just wondering if anyone is willing to get a rune reading from me as I need practice.
Thank you!

I am 26 years old and through my life I’ve had several prophetic dreams that come true and I am starting to get interested in trying to make this ability better.
I want to know what are your dreaming rituals? And what deities are involved in dream divination?
I’m not all that familiar with tea/coffee readings, but I feel inclined to “read” this cup. I see a few faces and vague flying figures all coming together, but don’t quite know what that would mean. Open to any and all interpretations. Any help is appreciated!
(was told to try and post this here! If its not allowed I'll move to another reddit!)
So as the title says, i think im missing out on a deity calling me. For years I've had this woman visit me in my dreams. I've seen her in multiple forms, (young/old/in disguise) and every time i ask for her name, but when she tries to speak its blurred/bleeped out. But she tells me "I am the Witch of Hell" every time i saw her she either tried to kill me or have me chased down or fought. And at first it was tiresome, it kinda scared me, but eventually i got tired of it and i finally confronted her about this in my dreams. Each time i talked to her, her words grew softer. When i finally asked her why she was doing this she said "I needed to make sure you could handle it if i came to you." And i asked what she meant but she never answered. After that last conversation i began opening up more about deities and spiritually. Its been about a year since I've had a dream with her, and i have taken to work with some deities, and while i do feel they are right, i still feel like im missing someone.
Sooo this is where y'all come in. I was wanting to know who you guys think of when i describe her?? Im hoping to try and find whoever this deity is.
The first time i saw her, she was intimidating and scary. She had on a long black silk looking robe that covered her face. She had wings that were old and battered but still formidable if needed. She had long black hair and a crown upon her head.
The second time i saw her she still had on the black robe but her face was uncovered. I can't remember what it looked like but i remember being in awe and yet somehow felt pity and worry for her. She would use her wings but they cracked and shuttered as she flew.
The third time she was younger, smaller, her wings were hidden and she was trying to work her way into a place. When i saw her in this dream she was worried about my safety and led me out of the maze. She said this was a level of hell and i shouldn't be here. She walked me through and led me out and i woke up. She was furious i was there, but only for my concern.
The next time i talked to her, another woman in my dream said she was waiting on me and would continue to wait until i was ready. I talked to her and she was older, mature, refined. She had long black hair, a black dress, but her wings were folded along her back. She seemed motherly at this point, but in a tough love kind of way.
I have ideas on who it is but i would really appreciate outside suggestions/opinions on who it i or could be. Thank y'all in advance!
Just looking for inspiration
Hello! I’m not entirely sure where this bead came from, but I am wondering if anyone knows anything about it. I reverse image searched it, it said it was used in ‘bone divination’ and was called a ‘mop bird’ but had no other information. I’m looking to learn more as to what bone divination is, and even eras/ cultures that it is found in.
-this is the only site I could find a match for this bird. https://bonesshellsandcurios.com/mop-bird/
I'm just curious as to how people came to use the tools they do for divination. I've used runes, tarot cards, and crystals personally, and I feel the greatest draw to runes, but I'm not sure if it's because it truly feels better to me or that it's more my style personally. Also not sure if I'm drawn to tarot just because it feels more aesthetic and easier for me to explain the interpretation to others.
I'm looking for reputable authors and books that talk about the germanic/angelo-Saxon runes and that system of divination. I'd love to hear what you have to suggest. Ideally outside of the sphere of new-age wicca
Hi, I'm new to divination. I bought a pendulum that I felt drawn to and started asking it questions about a month ago, but recently I've noticed I have been getting more and more incorrect answers. I've read about cleansing, and have done so.
However, my partner seems to think I've upset my pendulum because I ask it too many questions (admittedly, I have been asking it a lot of day to day questions). And I fear I may have hurt my relationship with my pendulum.
Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how do I correct this?
I really find joy in divination and tarot, so I want to make sure I go about it in a healthy way.
They are selling crystal balls at the local Barnes and Nobles and I'm interested in trying them out. But to be on the safe side, I'm doing my homework.
What are the risks of using a crystal ball for divination and other psychic actions and occult acts? Do they pose the same risks as Ouija boards? Can you open the doorway for dark stuff like a poltergeist or bad Qi? What should I know ahead of time to be safe with crystal ball use as a noob?
I did a fortune and wealth spell and I got these cards! I personally think this is a good sign that my spell worked. I’m in a hard spot currently and I’m restless but if I stick with it what I want will be lucrative and successful!! But what do you guys think? The Ace of Pentacles literally threw itself onto the floor immediately
Hi,
I don't really know much about dice systems, but I had one come to me last week. I feel it's pretty expressive, if that makes sense. I haven't really researched ways to interpret dice, but my question is...
If any of you have your own personal dice system, did you draw a line at some point for what's important and what isn't?
What do your systems cover?
Thanks.
CLOSED THANK YOU EVERYONE

I had this dream one time and then after 2 months I remembered I posted about it, and now I remember again everything as clear as daylight, so know I will tell you it very detailed
[(Dream)] I was driving through the desert with an old 1972 Chevrolet Caprice(similar to that) and next to me was my girlfriend(not irl) and she smiled at me while I looked at her a little confused for the sudden dream change I had and then I arrived at a weird agency in the middle of the desert while I felt the scorching sun on my skin, and then me and my girlfriend entered the agency and there where a few people inside with bags and suitcases for traveling I just waited while my gf was talking, but I couldn't hear her clearly for some reason, and after a moment I stand up to explore the agency and then I saw a 6 foot Asian guy just there standing waiting for something not looking at me and then he turned around to face me and then I said... This is a dream, I know we are dreaming and then after a few seconds I say why am I dreaming and then her stares right in my eyes and my face couldn't move, I was locked, looking at his face while all the ambience sound disappeared and then a weird one note of violin played and then it was as if someone clicked on f9 and my dream stopped, I couldn't sleep for a few minutes and then I tried to sleep again but it wouldn't let me dream I was so scared and it scared me for a good while.

Since i was a toddler id experience breif moments where my dreams would stop and something out of real life either a frozen moment or a short experience would happen, it always came to be true in the span of the next two weeks. I rarely remember what i dream, but once, i very vidvidly remember chattering to myself about it (dont judge) and being determined to remember next time. I dreamt of something random as usual but then i experienced the future again, it happened next week and i remembered what i saw and heard, so i know its not de ja vu it wasnt a feeling it was soemthing i actually saw. But since i didnt beliieve in myself i didnt study lmao. Ive experimented more with it, but nothing really mind boggling. One time i dreamt of being near my neighbours house and this stench was there, i cant descirbe how horrible it was, the next day i go in my backyard and its there. Ive experienced de ja vu and i know its not that, is this just something people go through? Or could i lean into it and learn a bit more? Is this normal, i dont wanna freak out or think i have some sorf tof foresight if i do not.
As I read through a translation of the Book of Changes without any commentaries (not even the Ten Wings),
I'm really creeped out about demands to sacrifice captives from other states. Human sacrifices?!!!! Asking this seriously if this is really what the text is talking about.
In addition the texts also often includes in the opening description for many hexagram about making a sacrifice as an offering. I'd assume this means something like killing a goat or a cow or some other animals at an altar to a god after making a reading?
How does this relate to modern practise of the I Ching? I seriously hope I don't have to kill a chicken or something in order to get proper readings! So seriously I ask are these sacrifices no longer needed to casting readings today?
I watched a play through of this game called “Dépanneur Nocturne” (amazing game btw) and one of the characters did a form of “divination” that was intended to sense if a certain object was intended to go to a certain person—
the character said she believed that objects, like people, have intended paths and are meant to end up with certain people, my question is if this is a real form of, or a version of, a real type of divination?
I’d love to look into it, if so! thanks in advance!
