Beginner’s Guide to Divination
Ever wonder if you’re on the right path or need guidance in certain situations? If you answered yes then divination is about to change your fucking life. In this post, learn what divination is along with 5 different ways to practice it!
What is divination?
Simply, divination is the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by supernatural means. Common names for divination are fortune-telling, prediction, prophecy, clairvoyance, and second sight.
Divination has been practiced since ancient witchcraft. In fact, many historical societies relied on those who practiced this magic to predict the outcome of important events. The Aztecs, Greeks, and Romans are a few who sought out this type of divine practice.
I interpret divination as methods to help you find a deeper meaning in situations and help you to understand where your future is headed. Ultimately, I personally believe that you create your own future.
5 types of divination for beginners
Tarot Reading
Tarot is a deck of 78 cards, each with its own image, symbol, and story. Basically, tarot cards open a line of communication with the Divine or your higher self to deliver advice or help solve a problem. Although tarot cards can NOT tell you the future, they can, however, present you with direction, awareness, and potential scenarios.

Astrology
Astrology is the study of the moon, planets, and stars and the influence they have on your life. Thus, the position of the sun, stars, moon, and planets at the time of your birth shapes you as a person, affects your romantic relationships, and predicts your economic fortunes.
Pendulum
A pendulum is usually a stone or crystal that hangs on the end of a string or chain. It is believed that the energy of your spirit guide controls your pendulum to answer yes or no questions. This is such an easy method to start practicing divination!
Automatic Writing
Automatic writing is a simple approach to divination. Simply, grab a pen and paper. Then, clear your mind and let the words flow. Some claim that during automatic writing, they are able to channel messages from spirits, their higher selves, and even other beings.
Oneiromancy (Dream Interpretation)
Throughout the centuries, many have used dreams to find deeper meanings about the present and the future. Start keeping a dream journal so you can record your dreams upon waking up as they are still fresh in your memory. Then, use a quick Google search or invest in a dream dictionary to interpret your dream.
