RUNES!!!!!!!!

I love them!! They're ancient and mysterious and they give very detailed readings, but I am getting better at Oracle Di Paracelsus cards!!!

Tarot cards BUT I am limited in my knowledge of other forms of divinations so I am sure that my favourite form will change over time.

I love Tarot cards for a wide variety of reasons but I think the fact I think the designs are fascinating is high on the list, as well as Tarot readung being fun. The most accurate form of divination I have encountered is CVhinese though and I can't remember the name of it. It is AMAZING! I will have to dig out my book on the subject. Smile

What are Oracle Di Paracelsus cards Tomi?

What about yourself Era? What is your favourite form of divination and why?

Tea leaf reading has to be my favourite at the moment, but like Ook I don't have a particularly in-depth knowledge of the possible formats so this may change. I like tea leaf reading because not only are there given symbols and meanings developed but it is largely based on what you see and what it means to you. Theres also so may variables that effect a reading and I love the personalness (yes, i say that's a word Razz

) of the person the reading being done on having toi drink the tea while taking time to meditate/contemplate their question, where they are in life, where they have been and where they want to go. It's just fun! the only problem is my aversion to tea Neutral

My favorite would have to be... Tarot at the moment... but I do wish to learn as many as I can so that I cannot discount any Smile

I like tarot because that is the first thing that I properly learnt about, as my mum has/had (as I have now clamed them) her own deck. But I am also interested in runes, dowsing and scrying

I was reading about an interesting Aboriginal divination technique, in a book of Solvo's, using Sacred Stones. It's similar to Runestones with each stone having a painted representative on it (on each side). I was going to make myself a set when I've got the time.

Well it has always been Tarot and Pendulum, well it was runes and casting stones for a bit but then i lost my casting stones! i have no idea where they went.....although i think i may have burnt them.....hmmmm. I used to use runes in a similar way to Tomi by passing my hand over them, but because i was lame and didnt have a proper set i just wrote them out on paper Very Happy

Crystal Ally Cards. It's useful 'cause no-one else seems to read them, and they have pretty pictures. They're very good for people-type situations and emotional readings, but in term of actions, they can sometimes be a little hazy. Not inaccurate, they just don't like giving any information away. lol. So I was thinking about relearning tarot (I kinda let my skills slip a bit, or a lot, there recently) and experimenting to see if te two could be combined in a more all-around reading. May not work though. Oh well, should be interesting to see what happens anyway.

I like combining Geomancy and Runes: It specifies what each Rune and card symbolises, and how hey match up!!

I got intersted in tarot for a while and still am but they felt a little restricting to me. I also used to use pendulums for a while but haven't done so in a while- mainly due to the fact that I don't have one!-my birthdays on the 13th- hint hint....anyone? Wink

My fav divination tool is my pendulum, but I also use casting lots and oracle cards.

mine is gonna sound strange but i like talking to the wind and trees as i get a better response through them than tarot or runes

example i was feeling lonely sat at a bus stop and while thinking to myself i felt a sudden brush of wind looked up and it was as if the tree in front of me was pointing towards something i looked in the direction it was pointing and a bus was on its way round (made me feel better cos i was cold and was thinking that i can wait to get in the warmth)

also clouds help if im worried about something the shape of a cloud and its direction usually aid me in my decision

(go on say it im a wierdo)

Subject: Re: Divinatory Tools Wed Nov 19, 2008 3:34 am

is reading the clouds trees and wind a form of geomancy????

I don't think you're weird at all, both of those are very old forms of divination. Besides, signs can come to you from anywhere really, like finding an unusual stone right in your path or asking for a sign and then a bird flies just above your head, finding a feather in your house when it wasn't there earlier and there are no doors or windows open. Divination is actually all around us.
