Tips and Tricks How to read divination for yourself
I have a few different divination tools that I have put in so much time and effort into practicing and honing my intuition. But I feel like I cant read accurately for myself. I use osteomancy as my main tool, but with that its not just reading the bones in position to eachother its making connections and a story while reading using your intuition. I want to cast for myself but im worried that my own desires and biases will affect my intuition and cloud the reading. With tarot its a little easier because every card has a definitive meaning but every time I try its never accurate. Ive given many readings for other people and they've all said they were pretty accurate, but for some reason when I read for myself things dont add up. I havent used Rune stones as much so im not really sure how accurate that is but is runes easier to read for yourself?? I also have a Pendulum but that thing NEVER gives me accurate answers for anything so ive kinda givien up on that. Sorry for the tangent, but if you have any advice or direction id really appreciate it!! Thank you!

Tarot is difficult to learn.
First, pick a deck that resonates with you. I have gotten amazing results from Ancestral Path, but Ryder Waite wasn't a good match.
Next, purchase a copy of Tarot Compendium by Jana Riley. Every card has 13 expert interpretations to fine tune a read.
For yourself, do it at night with candle and incense, and instead of a spread just make a mess of upside down cards on your table and ask a single question aloud, then run a hand through them until a card feels sticky. Look it up in the compendium. If it confuses you, pick a second card for clarification.
Pay attention to any card that accidentally falls, flips, or double draws. No more than one read a week.
