Divination = the practice of seeking knowledge of the past, present, future, or the unknown by supernatural means. Divination means ‘of the Divine’, God, Goddess, Source, Universe, Collective Consciousness. A message from that which is so much larger than ourselves.

Those with perceptive gifts practice divination all the time, consciously, or unconsciously. It’s a natural offshoot of being empathic and highly intuitive.

My favorite divination tool is tarot and oracle card readings. Every morning, once I’ve made a cup of steaming hot tea, I sit down to throw cards. As I scan each deck, I ask, ‘Who wants to speak this morning?’ or ‘What energies do I need to be aware of? ‘and choose the cards I feel most aligned with. Sometimes 7 cards want to come forward. Sometimes, the number of cards match today’s date. I keep drawing until the message feels complete.

This morning’s cards included: The Shadow (uh-oh), Core Healing, and Forgiveness. I knew it would be day of deep healing, self-reflection, and emotional release. I accept and receive.

I look closely at the imagery on each card, the vibration of the colors, the significance of the card’s number and contemplate what the words might mean. I arrange all the cards into a timeline or story, not only illuminating my journey, but also reflecting collective energy as well.
