The Webster dictionary definition of divination is, “the art or practice that seeks to foresee or foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge usually by the interpretation of omens or by the aid of supernatural powers.” Divination is a very powerful and important part of a witch’s order of operations when casting spells. Before casting a spell it is good advice to use your chosen divination tool to determine what is for your highest good so your spell is in alignment to avoid mishaps.

It’s hard to fix a problem when the problem isn’t clearly defined and therefore the correct solution is not understood. Divination is a tool to help you better create a solution that is in alignment with your Higher Self and will therefore be much more powerful and effective.

If I wanted to cast a spell to manifest additional money I will have far better results if I hold a specific purpose in mind. Being general and casting a spell for more money just because I want more money will manifest very little if anything at all. It’s best to have a reason or purpose for the money.

A good purpose could be an increase in monthly income to make payments for a new car or house. Some people advocate holding the intention to manifest a specific amount of money for a specific car or house. You could do that but you might want to use your divination tool to discover if this is the best course of action. It is possible that you would have better results if you actually cast your spell for the end result, the house or the car, and let the Universe do what it needs to bring you the means to manifest the end result.

When using divination you must first understand that our lives are not pre-destined or fated. We create our destiny through conscious creation (magick) or we will be tossed about by fate which is created by karma and unconscious beliefs. You will always have tendencies and lines of influence which can be revealed through numerology, tarot or astrology but you don’t have to allow them to dictate your experiences. Keep in mind that divination gives you a clear outcome of the situation, that is, if nothing changes. You can then take that information and use it to bridge to more desirable outcomes.

When you know how things will pan out if you do nothing, then you can come up with changes and ask your divination tool to show you the outcome. Continue to introduce possible changes and see what your tool tells you will be the outcome. Assume a variable into your divination tool by asking, “If I do __________ will it bring me ______? A good result to ask is, “will it bring me joy?” You can ask if it will bring you the means to obtain a new car but the new car may be a disappointment.

Something I’ve learned is to not ask the divination system if it’s a good idea to have something or if I should do something. The system is not meant to answer such questions but it can tell you if the results will make you happy or if it will bring you a car you will enjoy and will be dependable. Of course a dependable car always brings me joy.

It is a smart idea to use divination to uncover and make yourself aware of energy patterns that may work against your ability to manifest what you have decided you want. If your divination has answered in the positive for you receiving what you wish to manifest, the next step is becoming clear on what stands in your way. Once you know the energy patterns you can make arrangements to clear those patterns to allow the energy of what you want to come through and manifest in your life. I love using the pendulum to collapse these energy patterns on all levels of my being, from all of my bodies, from all dimensions, and from my past, present and future lives.

There are many tools you can use for divination such as crystal balls, scrying bowls, tarot, tea leaves, etc. These are tools that act sort of like a telephone or an instrument for tapping into and connecting with divine information not available to the five senses. They allow an extension of your perceptions beyond your bodily senses. You will want to learn more about the various tools available and see what seems interesting to you.

To help you decide on a divination tool it’s good to know that there are two forms of divination: direct and indirect. Scrying bowl, mirror, crystal ball, smoke, fire are all used by the mind to project images and information. This is called a direct form of divination. An indirect form of divination is found with tarot, runes and I-Ching and they require the interpretation of symbols or patterns. For some people the indirect systems are easier because there is usually a book or instructions to make it easier for you to understand the symbols or patterns, while other more psychic individuals will find the direct form easier.

There are many forms of divination out there – too many to discuss in any detail in this article. However, with most forms of divination, the more you practice the more accurate your results will be. When you begin working with divination tools and techniques, start by divining events or situations in the near future or yes and no answers which can be confirmed immediately – they are easier to read and give you a positive or negative result very quickly. As your skills improve, begin extending your reach further and further into the future. Good luck and have fun!
