r/Divination

There's a Korean reality show / battle on Disney +, called Battle of Fates. Famous dividers from all over Korea, tarot, shaman, saju, etc are all represented. I've only just started, but wonder if anyone else has watched this interesting show?

Mi hermano perdió su cadena de plata hace unas semanas, y dice que lo último que recuerda es haberla dejado en su cama antes de dormirse.

Hice una tirada de tarot para tratar de entender qué pasó, pero no pude interpretarla bien. No estoy seguro de si alguien tiene un método específico o experiencia con este tipo de situación que pueda darme algún consejo sobre cómo hacerlo de forma más precisa.

If I wanted to start looking into divination to decide my method, where should I start looking?

I’ve got a reasonable background in divination using several methods. I’ve got a MAJOR decision to make and I’m afraid my desires are influencing my interpretation. I realize this is Kind of a ridiculous ask but what could give me the most unbiased answer?
I’ve got tarot cards, I Ching. Familiar with ceromancy, reading ink pools, reading flame . No current access to some of my actual tools but I could improvise with dice, runes probably

A woman in a deep session was asking a lot about what was coming next. Her purpose, future work, spiritual development, what she should learn, when she would be ready. She genuinely wanted guidance, not entertainment.

But the answer she got was interesting: she was trying too hard to know the future.

She kept imagining what might happen and wishing for different outcomes instead of building what she wanted now. The advice was to keep a simple daily practice, enjoy what was already around her and let clarity come when it came.

That made me think about divination in general.

I don't think wanting information about the future is automatically unhealthy. Sometimes a reading gives useful perspective, exposes something we already know but refuse to admit, or helps us see options differently.

But there is another mode where the question never ends.

What happens next? Is this person coming back? What month? Which path? Was that a sign? Should I ask another deck? Maybe I phrased it wrong. Let me check one more system.

At some point the divination is not reducing uncertainty. It is feeding our inability to tolerate uncertainty.

I think there is a useful test here: after the reading, am I more able to live my life, or do I immediately need another reading?

If the tool gives perspective and returns you to your own agency, great. If it keeps moving your attention out of the present and into a future you cannot yet live, maybe the relationship with the tool needs adjustment.

The future is interesting. But today's choice is the only part we can actually touch.

How do experienced people here tell the difference between genuine divination practice and compulsive reassurance-seeking?

I recently created a playlist of 100+ songs that vibe with me/hold meaning for me to act as an oracle because I suck at reading tarot.

Basically I ask my question, hit shuffle and skip the first three songs in quick succession, the next song is the answer to my question.

What unorthodox oracles do you all use? Comic books for bibliomancy? D&D dice?

hey! ive been interested in getting my own lenormand deck for a while and learning to read it. i love having the traditional original-style RWS deck for tarot because its the most well-known symbolism and often considered the "default." which is the equivalent for lenormand and where could i buy it? (please especially let me know if i could find it at barnes & noble bc thats where i got my tarot deck and i have a gift card for there again haha)

27M. I have always been very sensitive to my spiritual instincts, my inner voice and I can achieve deep meditation.

I want to learn to the future. Yes, I have heard all of the moral and ethical dilemmas than many have with this idea so spare me your lectures please.

I have decided that I want to acquire this ability. Can anyone help me? I believe I have the mind for it.

Thank you in advance.

I asked my guides to show me an undeniably large feather if I’m on the right path. That was a few days ago. Nothing, which could make sense since I’m in the midst of a huge period of change. Just now, I came across [this post on Threads](https://www.threads.com/share/BAQsZo9fyv/). It’s a video of the actual owls hoo gave me the feathers I use.

I don’t think it fits what I asked for and should be disregarded, but that’s a hell of a video to stumble across that goes out of the way to name the location where I had lived for 17yrs before moving last August, so I know these are my🦉

Am I being too literal?

I’m working on an English iOS app for Liuyao divination, and I’m trying to understand whether this would be useful for people outside Chinese-speaking communities. The app is called YaoWenGlobal.

Most English users know the I Ching, but Liuyao seems much less familiar.

The app lets users ask a question, cast six lines, see the original and changing hexagrams, and read an English explanation.

I want it to feel more like a reflection tool than a fortune-telling gimmick.

For people interested in the I Ching, tarot, astrology, or oracle tools:

Would this kind of app interest you?
And what would make you trust or not trust it?
