Re: Do you use divination?


Playful, good to see you! Would you like to explain one or two of your methods? I know that listening to the spirits is probably more effective, but maybe someone here would like to try out other methods. emoticon

Rebecca: That's very interesting about the cards. I do sometimes use the Tarot for readings (rarely!), and they have usually been very thought-provoking - and alternatively telling me something I already knew but didn't want to do. That is annoying! emoticon

I'd say this has been my experience with Tarot cards! It's one of the reasons why I only use them for doing readings on myself. I'm of the opinion the information/insight comes from within me. I've never been able to "tap" anything else.

Re: Do you use divination?


playful....good to see you!!! Been missing your input! Would love to see more of you!!!!

Rebecca, my Grandmother used to use regular cards as well, but I never grasped how that works. It would be interesting, if you're so inclined, to give us some insight into how you read regular playing cards.
Things like...is the Ace of Spades equivelant to the Death card in a Tarot deck? and such as that....or are the meanings different?

Re: Do you use divination?


I will have to pick my husband's brain, we were going off of what he remembered of what his mother used to do. I would ask her, but she's changed a lot and I don't think she'd be receptive. There are a lot of different ways to spread out the cards, I think we just did three. Past, present, future. Then came the problem of not remembering exactly what everything meant...

I wonder if an online search could help with the meanings.... may be worth trying.

I'm not sure I'd do much better with regular cards than I do with Tarot, but it may be worth a try. emoticon

TY Queeny! I'll have to look at them when I have a bit more time...right now, I need to get offline and get some dishes done. We have people stopping by for a few minutes shortly.

Informative links! I would be more inclined to go off of that than what DH and I can barely remember. I'll have to catch him in the right mood and see if he wants to give playing card reading a try again some time.

We'd still love to hear what you have to say. For some reason, hearing things from people you know....gives them more meaning, I guess. emoticon

I have Tarot cards, and I actually draw one every morning, but that's not divination to me. I don't think the card tells me anything about the coming day. Instead, it gives me food for thought about the processes I'm in, the growth I can do or ideas on what to change.

I have toyed with some spreads using the Tarot, but again, that's not really divination. For me, it's just another perspective on a problem.

So, again, not very Pagan here, I fear. emoticon



I do the same thing with the Tarot Cards and feel that its going to give me an answer to what I am feeling inside, whatever problem I am dealing with in the moment.

I also use a single 6 sided die to lead me and guide me to where I am supposed to be, what path I should take, if its a random ritual day and when I have earned my levels and degrees.

The die...Is likely random...I cant see where it could be anything else.
