METHODS
FROM ANCIENT TRADITIONS TO MODERN FOLKLORE PRACTICES, BELOW ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MANY WAYS GROUPS CONNECT WITH THE DIVINE
TASSEOGRAPHY
Tea Leaf Reading
This method has been practiced for centuries and involves interpreting the patterns made by tea leaves left in the bottom of a cup. After the tea has been consumed, a reader can carefully examine the shapes and images to gain insight and offer guidance and predictions for the sitter.
Tarot Cards
Tarot card readings rely on the reader to intuitively interpret the imagery and symbolism on each card. These interpretations reflect significant life events including love, wealth, career, relationships, and life paths. Tarot readers believe the cards act as a conduit to the spiritual realm where each card holds significant meaning and cards laid out in patterns can deliver messages, warnings or guidance.
Crystal Gazing
Scrying
Staring deeply into a crystal or stone was thought to bring about a meditative trance which allowed the subconscious to open and reveal secrets about the past, present and future. Although crystal balls are the most common tool for gazing, other reflective surfaces such as water, mirrors, and blood have been used.
Astrology
Looking to the stars is one of the oldest known practices of divination. Insight can found by studying the positions of the stars and their movement across the night sky. Western astrology focuses the 12 zodiac signs which is thought to reveal personality traits, relationship compatibility and karmic influences.
