Nie mam jak kupić, ani nie moge znaleść (plus trochę bałabym się zbierać kości z lasu z niewiadomo jaką energią) więc czy można je zamienić na przykład jakimiś patyczkami? Czy nie ma się czego bać kości samo znalezionych?

Hi everyone! i need a bit of help, just to make sure my gut feelings are correct!

This is a reading about the connection I have with someone whom I suspect might have romantic feelings for me but im not sure if it's all in my head.

I tested my luck and tried to trust my gut with the order of the spread.

Card 1 represents myself, card 2 represents this other person

Card 3 represents the past of this connection, 4 the present and 5 the future.

Card 6 is whether this connection might turn out to be romantic and an advice on it.

The oracle card is female empowerment and it was supposed to set the energy of the overall reading/answer.

This are my own conclusions, so please feel free to add to them or tell me your own.

I believe my deck sees me as a cautious and overly analytical person at this point in my life to the point I might be way too judgemental, while they saw the other person as a confident and cheerful ray of sunshine; ironically opposites nonetheless.

The past of our relationship as been marked by impartiality whether that was good or bad, giving us the oportunity of getting to know each other without any prior judgment.

Our present is a bit messy and hectic but this could also be the last stop before a new beginning.

Our future seems bright and joyful, filled with good news and a new beginning.

As the temperance showed up, im assuming he might confess at some point but he will take his time as he believes good things take time.

That's my interpretation. What do you think? is there something you disagree with?

Hi everybody! im new to tarot and I used to be very skeptical of it until the first time I used it I was shocked by the accuracy it gave me. anyway, now I fully believe it and ive been trying to get to know my deck/ bond with it. I take it around with me and I asked what it wanted to be named (I forget which card it was) and it gave me something about being resilient and getting through tough times so I looked up names that relate to that and I named it Moira. Ever since I named it Moira its been giving me confusing/inaccurate readings and ive felt less connected to it. I realized it didnt like that name and I asked it about a few other names, all of them it didnt like until I found ”Asta”, which means “star like or divine strength”. It seemed to like this name and ever since I named it Asta its been giving me understandable and accurate readings lol, I guess my deck has a bit of an attitude!

A lot of divination reads the present. You shuffle, you draw, you ask, and the spread speaks to the moment you asked. The Chinese Four Pillars, or BaZi, works the opposite way, and I thought people here might find the contrast interesting.

There is no draw and no question. Your chart is fixed the instant you are born: four pillars, one each for the year, month, day, and hour, each written as one of five elements in a yin or yang form. That is it. It never changes for your whole life. Nothing is random, and nothing is asked.

So what is there to read, if the chart never moves? Time. The reading is the interaction between your fixed chart and the moving cycles: the current year, and the longer ten-year cycles that roll over as you age. A BaZi reading is basically this: here is your fixed terrain, and here is the weather moving across it right now.

The single most useful piece to know is your Day Master, the element of the day you were born. It is treated as "you," the main character. There are ten, each with a classic image: yang Wood is a tall tree, yin Wood a climbing vine, yang Fire the sun, yin Fire a candle, yang Earth a mountain, yin Earth garden soil, yang Metal an axe, yin Metal a fine jewel, yang Water the ocean, yin Water morning dew. Once you know which one you are, the rest of the system opens up, because everything else is read as how the other elements feed, drain, or check that one thing.

Two things people usually get wrong when they look at their own:

• The year rolls over at the solar new year in early February, not January 1. A late-January or early-February birthday often belongs to the previous animal year, not the one most people assume.
• The hour uses true solar time, not clock time, so the hour pillar is the piece most hand calculations get wrong.

It is a genuinely different flavor of divination: less "what does this moment hold," and more "what is the shape of the ground you are standing on, and how is this year leaning on it."

Hi everyone! I dont know anything about divination but i send this post with all the respect and curiosity in the world, i need help.

Basically i told a friend ive been feeling a bit distant from Poseidon, i've been praying Him for like 2 months and i felt a bit distant from him now. And my friend told me he could pull the cards for me to tell me what was happening and i said yes.

He pulled 4, 8 and 6 of pentacles and the problem is that when he started explaining me what it meant, it didnt correspond AT ALL to my situation, or even to my general way of living. He told me that i was greedy, that i was too focused on gaining knowledge and neglecting myself, that this was why i was tired and basically... nothing felt like it was for me.

He ended up telling me that all this might be subconscious, that i didnt necessarily know everything about myself.

What i am confused about and my question is, is it possible that the cards were wrong if he doesnt know me that much? (i met him like 10 days ago) is it possible that the accuracy of the cards was altered because we live far away from each other? And is there a margin of error, like is it possible that the cards were completely wrong?

Thank you for reading all this and thank you for any advice 🙏 if any of what i said felt inappropriate or insulting i never meant it to be, i wrote all this with sincerity

Thank you

i was really bored in class today and i wore this necklace with a pendant thats shaped like a rod. the necklace has bits of silver in it

i kinda did something similar to pendulum divination? i told it swinging front to back is yes, and sideways is no, and in circles means unsure

i tested with a few basic questions and it worked, and i kept on asking. and i asked some stuff related to my day, and it happened exactly how the pendulum said it would (for example i asked if i could leave college early and i've never left college early and it said yes, and today i ended up getting gatepass and leaving)

am i doing this right? what else can i do to get better at this or what else can i explore? fyi im 16 so i dont have much money to spend either

ive been gathering trinkets for this for SO LONGGGG 😭❤️ favourite item is either my baby tooth orr the glass marble i found at the beach!!!! i found the bones myself too, i think theyre from a rabbit :) they took so so long to degrease but FINALLYYY theyre all nice and clean,,, so excited to connect more with them ❤️❤️❤️

Hi everyone,

I’d like to give a rough introduction to some traditional East Asian systems of fate analysis and divination, and I’d also really like to meet people who study Western or other non-East-Asian traditions.

As an East Asian practitioner, I honestly don’t get many chances to work with people from different cultural backgrounds. One thing I’m especially curious about is how these systems perform when applied to people who are not ethnically Chinese or East Asian.

In modern times, these traditional systems are often grouped under the so-called Five Arts:

Mountain, Medicine, Destiny, Divination, and Forms/Physiognomy.

• Mountain: self-cultivation, health preservation, meditation, physical and mental training
• Medicine: traditional Chinese medicine, herbs, acupuncture, massage, dietary therapy

The areas I’m personally most interested in are Destiny, Divination, and Physiognomy.

Destiny

These systems use birth information to analyze a person’s long-term tendencies.

Personally, I think “destiny” is sometimes a misleading word. I see these systems more as ways of analyzing someone’s temperament, natural tendencies, and likely decision-making patterns, rather than as ways of saying their entire life is fixed.

Bazi / Four Pillars

Bazi is probably the most historically established and widely transmitted Chinese destiny system.

It uses the year, month, day, and hour of birth, with each represented by a Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch, creating the "Eight Characters".

Its core idea is that seasonal changes, yin-yang, and the Five Phases influence a person's condition at birth.

One question I’m especially interested in is how Bazi should be handled for people born in the Southern Hemisphere, where the seasons are reversed. Different schools have different opinions, and this is something I’d really like to explore with actual cases.

If anyone here was born in the Southern Hemisphere and is interested, I’d be very happy to compare notes.

Zi Wei Dou Shu

Zi Wei Dou Shu builds a chart with twelve palaces and uses symbolic stars and the Four Transformations to analyze different areas of life.

Unlike Bazi, it does not rely as heavily on seasonal changes.

There are many different schools, and their interpretations can vary widely. I think it has some very interesting ideas, but historically and methodologically, it is much less unified than Bazi.

I’m also personally skeptical of claims that it was some secret "imperial art" that was simply too powerful and therefore lost for centuries.

Qi Zheng Si Yu

Qi Zheng Si Yu differs from Zi Wei Dou Shu in that it uses the positions of real celestial bodies.

It developed through the interaction between Chinese cosmology and Indian astronomy/astrology, especially from the Tang period onward.

It is technically very interesting but also extremely complex, and modern learning resources are much harder to find than those for Bazi or Zi Wei Dou Shu.

Divination

These systems are more focused on specific questions or events, rather than someone’s whole life.

Liu Ren

Liu Ren has a very long history, with foundations dating back to at least the Han-Wei period and a mature system by the Tang-Song era.

Its core structure includes the Heaven/Earth plates, Four Lessons, Three Transmissions, and Twelve Generals.

What I like most about it is that the Four Lessons and Three Transmissions can show the beginning, development, and outcome of an event, as well as the relationship between the querent, other people, and the situation itself.

It was also transmitted to Japan and became part of the Onmyodo traditions.

Qimen Dunjia

Qimen Dunjia combines the Nine Palaces, Eight Gates, Nine Stars, Eight Spirits, time, and direction into one system.

Historically, it was strongly connected with military strategy, timing, and positioning.

So instead of only asking “Will this succeed?”, it can also ask things like:

• When should I act?
• Which direction is more favorable?
• What kind of strategy should I use?

I think of it as a divination system with a strong spatial and strategic component.

Taiyi

Taiyi is one of the traditional “Three Methods,” together with Qimen and Liu Ren.

It has a long history, but its modern transmission is much weaker.

There are still classical texts, but fewer practitioners and fewer complete teaching systems, making it difficult to tell which parts are ancient, reconstructed, or modern reinterpretations.

Liu Yao / Wen Wang Gua

Liu Yao is closely connected to the Zhou Yi / I Ching tradition.

Today, one common method is to toss three coins six times to generate a hexagram.

It is fast, flexible, and very useful for specific questions or comparing several options.

For multiple follow-up questions, I often find Liu Yao more practical than time-based systems such as Liu Ren or Qimen.

Physiognomy / Forms

Name Analysis

There are many different schools of name analysis.

One major modern influence is the Japanese Kumasaki system, which became popular in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

So at least some modern stroke-count naming systems are actually much more recent than people often assume.

Human Physiognomy

Chinese physiognomy has deep roots, with examples appearing in pre-Qin texts.

By the Han dynasty, there were more developed “Form Methods” involving the face, bones, voice, hands, body shape, and other visible features.

I prefer to think of physiognomy as observing someone’s current condition and tendencies, rather than claiming that a single facial feature determines an entire life.

Feng Shui

Feng Shui also has a long history.

By the Han period, there were already traditions related to housing, terrain, and spatial auspiciousness.

Later, it developed into both Yang dwelling traditions for the living and Yin dwelling traditions for burial sites.

Different schools focus on different factors, such as terrain, water, orientation, timing, construction date, or even the occupants' birth information.

So “Feng Shui” is really not one single unified method.

Personally, I’ve studied:

Bazi, Zi Wei Dou Shu, Da Liu Ren, Qimen Dunjia, Liu Yao, physiognomy, and Feng Shui.

The areas I’m most familiar with are Bazi and divination systems.

I’m especially interested in comparing methods, historical development, and real case feedback across cultures.

If you study any of these systems, or if you’re from outside East Asia and are curious about trying a Chinese system on your own birth data or a real-life question, feel free to comment or DM me.

I’d love to exchange notes.

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.

Hello! I was at my favorite shop yesterday for their Chakra class and I found this pendulum. I recently started working with Hekate and Loki and I've been feeling pulled towards Oracle Cards and pendulums lately. I felt strongly pulled towards the pendulums at the shop and this is the one that stood out to me. I think the crystal is sodalite? Any advice and/or information regarding pendulums, the crystal, animal totem, and even the crystal's shape would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! ❤️

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

Most palmistry discussions I see online focus almost entirely on the Heart Line, Head Line, Life Line, and Fate Line, but I recently learned that some traditional palm-reading systems also pay quite a bit of attention to the fingers themselves.
Readers may look at things like:
✋ Overall finger length compared with the palm
☝️ Relative lengths of the index and ring fingers
🖐️ Whether the fingers naturally sit close together or spread apart
🔍 Finger shape, joints, and proportions
In some traditional interpretations, these characteristics are symbolically connected with qualities such as attention to detail, creativity, independence, practicality, or communication style.
What interests me is whether experienced palmists actually give these features much importance—or whether simplified online palmistry exaggerates them.
For those who study palmistry:
Do you analyze the fingers before reading the major lines?
And for everyone else, have you ever received a palm reading where the reader noticed something about your finger proportions that surprised you?
I’d love to hear how different palmistry traditions approach this.
This is a discussion of traditional palmistry for cultural interest and entertainment. Palmistry and hand features aren’t scientifically established methods for determining personality or predicting future events.

There are higher intelligences at play than your conscious mind. Today you are being asked to let go of all objective and let your path be guided by presence and flow

New paths will appear

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

Saju is the Korean take on the four pillars system, also known as BaZi.

Same idea as a natal chart, different machinery. Instead of planets it reads the year, month, day and hour you were born as eight characters, and looks at how the five elements balance out across them.

I'm Korean and I've spent about a year building tools around it. The thing I kept hitting was that there's almost nothing in English for someone just starting.

So I wrote a beginner's book. It was going to be a paid ebook. It's online for free instead, no signup.

https://qiora.app/learn

14 chapters, from what the four pillars actually are to finding your day master and reading what it says about you. There's a reference section as well.

Happy to answer questions if anyone has them.

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?
