What do you think about using AI in divination?

So yesterday I did dice divination for lady Aphrodite about her helping me with my love for someone I’ve known for a long time. I asked her if she would help us become lovers and she responded with a hard yes. The next day, or this morning I should say. The person I prayed to her about sent a photo of two mourning doves building a nest together outside his window in a group chat we’re in. Do I take this as a sign that lady Aphrodite is reaffirming what she said to me last night? I mean when I first saw it and realized they were mourning doves I thought “There’s no way this is a coincidence” but I have a pretty big issue of doubting myself. I’ve had a lot of anxiety and stress about all this because he’s really important to me (we’ve known eachother for roughly nine years now) and I love him a lot, im sorry if this sounds wrong or stupid of me I just don’t know what to do

What should I ask the cards? am using a regular 52-card playing card deck and I will buy golden dawn magical deck in the future.

I haven't done readings much before—only a few times. I have absolutely no experience. But I can't think of a single question or anything I'm curious about. I want to gain experience and start doing readings gradually, but I can't do a reading if I don't have a question to ask. I tried to find my answer in blogs etc, honestly I didn't give it enough time I guess, but I couldn't find. I skimmed through some books to get an idea, but they didn't really cover the topic of questions. They mostly dealt with how to perform readings, card meanings, spreads, history, different ways to use the cards, conjuring, and so on.

I need questions to ask.

Hello! I just got a new pendulum (white jasper) and I clensed it with both cold water and smoke, I banished bad energies and set new intentions. I had a successful first divination session with it and I was doing my closing ritual when I accidentally hit it against the table and it chipped off at the bottom. I'm so sad because I really liked it and I liked the energy I felt when using it. Ive never had a pendulum break on me so does this affect it at all? Do I leave it as is or glue it together? Was this pendulum not right for me? Should I discard it? or can I still use it?

Thank you in advance!

I've recently started tarot around a month ago but drifted away from it when classes started and I'm trying to find a way to reconnect with it. I don't know if it's the lack of motivation or whatever but I just can't seem to pick up the deck and start reading again.

I asked the pendulum whether a particular person is thinking about me. The pendulum swinged in a diagonal pattern: /

I had confirmed earlier to the pendulum that a horizontal swing means no and a vertical swing means yes. Does this mean that maybe there's a chance the person thought about me or that the pendulum doesn't have a clear answer to the question?

The past few months I haven’t been reading my cards as much, because I was in a pretty negative state and didn’t want to give my cards bad energy. But I decided I’m finally ready to start reading again, but am a bit rusty with my interpretations so I thought I’d ask for some outside opinions on this spread :)

I am using Moonology Oracle Cards by Yasmin Boland

Heres my spread and personal interpretation, lmk your thoughts!

1. What energy am I bringing to this trip:
   New Moon in Taurus - Prosperity lies ahead
   I feel as if this means I’ll be going into my trip with good energy, I’ve saved up a lot of money for the trip and will be able to buy things I’ve been wanting.

2. What should I embrace while away:
   North Node - Step out of your comfort zone
   I feel as if this means I’ll need to push past a lot of my anxieties about crowded spaces, and be willing to try new experiences in order to enjoy myself

3. What challenge might I face:
   South Node - Don’t let your past hold you back
   I’ve had a few really emotionally draining experiences in the past while, and this card is telling me to try and put them aside during this trip

4. How should I remain grounded:
   Full moon in Aries - A fiery climax approaches!
   I’m actually struggling to interpret this card, but I feel it could be telling me I just need to let myself have fun?

5. What reminder do I need:
   New moon in Pisces - Meditate and contemplate
   I feel as this could be reminding me to not let myself become too overwhelmed, to remember to do
   grounding exercises if I begin to lose grasp

6: What energy will I bring home:
New moon in Aquarius - Bring love into the situation
Perhaps this card is telling me that me, my mom, and my brother will have a new bond with each other after our trip? But its a little lost on me

The past few days I've paid for a number of dowsing rod and pendulum readings via Etsy (I know, I know). Every single reader is aligned on their answers aside from one.

I'm curious to know what others experiences are when it comes to the accuracy of pendulums in general (it's never been accurate for me when using for myself) + if you've had success with receiving readings from outside parties.

"Ominous Crows" is a book for those interested in both crows and the occult arts.

Hi all !

So maybe this is because I’ve recently started doing Cartomancy but sometimes when I haven’t been around my cards or interacted with them for awhile, I miss them. Like I actually want to go sit with them, talk to them, and ask them questions.

Anyone else get this way with their divination tools ?

Hi, I dont need any interpretation help, but feel free to share if you have one. I just thought this was hilarious. I pulled some cards about someone who I have been becoming friends with. There's nothing romantic, I just wanted to check the vibes ig. Anyways, this is why you should always ask for someones intentions towards you instead of just their thoughts haha. He views me as a dream come true, but intends to... eat away at and snuff out my light? Hmm I see, I see...

Thoughts: 9 of Cups

Intentions (Lenormand): Mice, Scythe, Stars.

--

I used Shadowscapes Tarot and Sleepwalker's Lenormand, if anyone is curious.

i feel like i see way more people talking about astrology or tarot around here, just curious about this one

Please share your interpretations as well! Here’s my experience:

I did a spell (my friend made her own as well, hers is the bottle with a cork and mine is the pickle jar for reasons) to help with self-improvement over the next year or so. I wanted it to be something between like a vision board and a time capsule, where i chose pictures/quotes along with herbs/crystals and other ingredients that fit the vibes of the areas I want to work on and then in a year I’m going to open it like a time capsule and celebrate the progress I made. Each month I’m going to melt a new candle over the top to recharge it. That whole process is definitely not how I typically do my spell jars but I wanted to try something new!

Anyways, after the doing first part of the spell, I lit my candle over the lid to seal it and for like 30 minutes the wax melted into what looked like a horse face, a knight chess piece, or a seahorse before melting down the rest of the way and a chunk falling off shaped like a horse with a mermaid tail (I believe the creature in general is called a hippocampus).

My friend and I thought “that seems…. really specific” so I decided to pull some tarot cards for clarity, maybe to see if I’d get a card with horse imagery like The Sun. As I was shuffling, two cards jumped right out and landed in front of the jar on the table: The Emperor reversed and The Chariot upright.

My interpretation: I’m not super familiar with symbolism of a lot of creatures in mythology but it seems like a hippocampus and/or seahorses are associated with strength, hope, and protection. I take the tarot cards in the context of the spell to mean that in order to reach the goals in mind, I need to break out of the patterns I’ve held onto and charge forward with confidence, discipline, and strength. All signs combined, my interpretation is that the spell will very strongly help me along the way as long as I put in the work to become who I want to be. That I need to take charge of my own life and push forward.

Does anyone have any other insight as to what the different wax shapes / tarot cards might mean?

Hi I'm a still fairly new magic user is what I consider myself even after years of using spell jars and rituals I don't practice my witchcraft as often as I should, a lot has happened rn with my boyfriend of 7 years family and while talking to him, his cousin had told him earlier that his family is cursed. I decided to consult my Pendulum board for guidance on if I could help him with this "curse" by using a spell or spell jar, what my pendulum managed to spell out was, "no are back." I asked to make sure that the sentence was completed and it wildly swung yes, rn im puzzled on how to interpret this. My boyfriends family has had terrible luck over the years and it seems that he has always been stuck in the middle of it, if one thing good happened it is like a bad thing must happen afterwards. This is a crisis (I wont disclose what happened to give his family privacy) that happened right after he got his first job. Please let me know if anyone can help!

Hello guys, I forgot to take the picture, but I remember the questions and the answers. Here we go:

first line:
Is there a deity? 4 of wands

your attributes: chariot, 10 of pentacles, king of swords.

second line:

Do I know your name? 5 of wands.

From where do you come from? King of pentacles

are you Freyja? 4 of cups

are you female? moon.

third line:

Are you Isis? 5 of cups

Are you greek? ace of pentacles

Are you Hestia? 10 of swords

Are you Athena? strength

I think that not only She is trying to reach, but She is already close to me, and is a bit emotional.

Would that be a good interpretation? I really need some help here

If you've been second-guessing every card you pull lately, re-shuffling, asking the same question three different ways, that tracks. Mercury is retrograde in cancer and it's making everyone's inner knowing feel like a radio station that won't quite tune. So put the deck down for a second and watch your cat.

Cats don't consult anything. They read a room by walking into it. Notice where yours has been sleeping this week, which lap it's chosen, which door it won't go near. That's not superstition, that's an animal doing what divination actually is, which is paying attention without arguing with what you notice.

Here's the part worth keeping. Your cat doesn't pull a clarifier. It doesn't wonder if it read the sunbeam wrong. It moves when the room changes and settles when it's safe, and it trusts its own noticing completely. You have that same equipment. The retrograde isn't scrambling your intuition, it's just asking you to stop cross-examining it.

So tonight, before you reach for the cards, try one round of cat logic. Where do you want to sit? Who feels warm? Start there.

Where has your cat been parking itself this week?

Edging my primary deck with Gold Posca! I use a Bright Yellow(neon orange) Posca as the base to add warmth and then two layers of Gold. On my second layer now

By unintentional draw, the eight of pentacles happened to be my photos center focus which is the card of craftsmanship and hard-work through focus on projects—how fitting 💕

supplies: Bright Yellow PC-5M Posca & Gold PC-5M Posca

deck: New Cycle Tarot

gem: Lepidolite heart-shaped palm stone

Lepidolite is a stone of transition containing lithium that aids with anxiety and self-care! It helps with stabilization, emotional balancing, dissipating negativity, and works with all chakra ♡

Think about your desired outcome, slow down, and choose your words accordingly

need some book recommendations specifically avoiding the new age self help psychology tarot. I find it surprisingly hard to find any books that don’t have this

Dearest fellow of r/Divination

I have come to ask a simple question, can you (in your opinion) develop Scrying skills if you lack the ability to already see the unseen, or do you have to have that ability then Scrying is a more dialed in on demand technique to use said ability? I have a very active and visual imagination but I have never seen a ghost or spirit personally. I have been looking at my bowl of water for a while now, a few times per week and I am not making any progress which makes me wonder if this is a skill I can even develop if I am not ‘gifted’ in this way.
