What is Divination?
Divination is the art of interpreting the subtle forces that lie beneath everyday existence. It allows you to tune into your intuition, as well as the symbols and messages from the unseen, transforming inquiries into insights. Utilizing tools such as tarot, oracle cards, runes, or scrying, divination becomes a calming practice of introspection. It acts as a bridge between your conscious awareness and the enigmatic signals of the universe. Rather than forecasting the future, it illuminates various paths, reveals potentialities, and enhances your connection to the magic that exists in each moment.

Tarot Cards
Tarot cards emerged in 15th-century Europe as lavish playing cards, but over time they slipped into the grasp of mystics, witches, and those who walk the in-between. Each card is a small universe of symbols and archetypes, light and shadow, intuition and omen.
To use them, you attune to your question, shuffle until the deck feels alive in your hands, then draw and lay the cards in a spread. Their imagery becomes a story you read with your inner senses, a dialogue between you and the unseen. Tarot isn’t about fixed fate; it’s a moonlit tool for reflection, guidance, and unveiling the hidden threads of your path.
Oracle Decks
Oracle decks, The modern cousin of tarot, filled with images, words, and symbols that speak to intuition and insight.
Each card is a whisper from the unseen, offering guidance, reflection, or inspiration.
To use an oracle deck, hold your question or intention in mind, shuffle until you feel ready to stop and draw the ones that call to you. Their messages unfold like a personal story, a conversation with your inner wisdom.
Ouija/Talking Boards
Ouija and talking boards are often seen as portals to the unseen and demonic. this isnt entirely true, most people think of them as tools that invite whispers from spirits, guides, or hidden aspects of yourself.
By placing your hands lightly on the planchette and focusing on a question, the board becomes a mirror for subtle energies, intuition, and messages that float between worlds.
These boards are NOT toys! They’re rituals that demand respect, mindfulness, and a willingness to listen. Used with care, they can illuminate mysteries, spark insight, and deepen your connection to the unseen currents shaping your path.

Runes
Runes are ancient symbols once carved by Germanic and Norse peoples, forming sacred alphabets used for writing, magic, and seeking hidden wisdom.
These symbols live on today in three main rune alphabets: the Elder Futhark, the Younger Futhark, and the Anglo Saxon Futhorc. Each rune carries its own meaning and traditional lore, offering guidance through its history, shape, and associations. To work with them, you draw a rune from the set and explore its established message, using its story and symbolism to understand the patterns at play in your life. Runes do not promise fate. They act as markers, like old carvings in stone, helping you see the paths that lie before you
Elder Futhark
The Elder Futhark is the oldest known rune set, a collection of twenty four symbols carved and used across early Germanic tribes. Its energy feels ancient and raw, like something pulled from deep earth and old forests. Many modern readers choose this set for its clarity and its strong connection to primordial wisdom.
Younger Futhark
The Younger Futhark emerged in the Viking Age with only sixteen runes. It carries a sharper, more unpredictable spirit, shaped by seafaring cultures and the restless magic of exploration. This set speaks in bold strokes and can feel direct, intense, and fiercely alive.
Anglo Saxon Futhorc
The Anglo Saxon Futhorc expanded the original runes into a larger set of symbols to fit the sounds of Old English. Its energy feels rich and detailed, like a tapestry woven with layers of meaning. It offers a more nuanced voice that can guide readings with gentle depth and thoughtful complexity.
Pendulum
Pendulums are simple yet powerful tools used to seek clarity from subtle energies. A pendulum is usually a weighted stone or charm hanging from a chain or cord, moving in response to quiet shifts that many call energy, spirit, or the deeper self. To use one, you hold the chain steady, ask a clear question, and watch how the pendulum swings to reveal yes, no, or uncertain answers. Different movements have different meanings, and you learn them through practice and patience. A pendulum does not command fate. It offers gentle guidance, like a small compass that points toward hidden truths and helps you navigate the unseen currents around you.
