This is going to be a bit of a casual page, at least for the time being. Y'see, I enjoy divination, an I can get the feels and all that, buuuuut it never really has the opportunity to come up. Like, I *could* do divination on myself, which (lemme get into for a minute here) I generally don't like doing for myself, and I'll tell you why. On the everyday, I simply perform better when flying blind, so to speak, I can't think of a better term for that. But like... when something random comes up, I just perform better if I take it on the moment, rather than dwell about it beforehand. I guess that's about it for that side of things, and the other side of that is that I live moment-by-moment, most of the time (I attribute that to having grown up in the open fields), so I don't really plan things out ahead of time. Come up with art project; make art project. Like that's the day to day, anything other-peopley (my Abby aside) seems to be the reason for most time-dependent things, which I don't really do. Like on the-alright, I'm getting too far into things here, you get the idea. Anyways, I don't divine for myself much, but I'll throw down for anyone. So yah, the run of the mill of this is that to not expect this page to be updated a whole lot, like... few times a year? Presently? We'll see if I have the opportunity to do much divination in the future, like I said I do fly by the seat of my pants, so who knows what might come up.
Anyways, my divination kits:
| | My original main divination kit, details here - A silk cloth, 7 wooden pieces, three connected rings, and a contoured stone. I love it, it's incredible ❤ |
| | Dragon Oracle - my first set of divination cards, received as a gift. I've liked to pull a dragon in the morning and see what it tells me about the day (my preferred diviniation method changes periodically). |
| | The Divine Feminine Oracle - Also a wonderful set of cards, and my first ones purchased! |
| | Oracle Bones casting - It just seems my nature, growing up in the deep prairies, always around nature, bones around fairly normal. Also have a connection to autumn and decay, not sure if related. I don't associate the bones with death, at all, just a talking piece, it has a certain voice to it, a certain tone. It sounds old. |
| | The Wild Unknown Tarot - My first Tarot deck specifically. The sharp, contrasting lines and blacks and whites really called to me, when looking for a Tarot deck. |
| | Three Sticks - I really love casting sticks, specifically three of them. You can get a simple smile, a pointer arrow, very simple basic stuff that you can read on the fly. It's like bones, but it can use the curve of the stick more. That said, I've used curved bones too, though this feels very environmental, like nature itself is speaking through them. |
| | A set of runes given to me as a Christmas gift by a friend up in northern Manitoba. The friend group each drew a random number corrosponding to runes made from different things (shells, sticks, stones), and I received this one (I made a chainmaille decoration for everyone). The sticks are made from birch wood if I'm not mistaken, and there's a sheet of meanings for each of the runes inside the pouch as well.
|
| | Harrow Deck - Actually created for Pathfinder, but it can be used for divination as well. Not often used, but it's an option that's out there.
We also have the Deck of Many Things, of which the new 66 card version can actually be used for divination, both in game and of course out, so I'll just put that over here too.
|
| | Rider-Waite Tarot - The classic the standard, I picked this up to associate with dungeons and dragons, but the cards are still unmodified, and I keep the original instruction manual. This deck has really grown on me, the artwork and the feels to it. |
| | Sacred Hags Oracle - A very recent purchase, it called to me, for all of the reasons. Y'know, can I say, I take the hag aesthetic to the good side. Like, the slime monster swamp thing, that, on the side of good. Yah so that's me, so when I stumbled across this I had to get it. |
| | The Forager's Daughter Tarot - From having grown up in the prairies, I found this deck after searching things like prairie tarot and field tarot. |
| | Britney Spears Oracle - I had to, I HAD to. I discovered that it existed, I bought it online almost immediately. It feels good, it empowers you, I'm happy with my impulse purchase lol. |
Special thanks to my friend QuelynBlay, who first helped me down this path to divination. Her first casting on me with runestones indicated that my primary focus is art. Right smack in the center of the cloth!
