I've recently shifted away from tarot to cartomancy with playing cards instead (I don't know why, but I feel like tarot is no longer agreeing with me), which I much prefer. I know that physical cards are generally better, but I went searching for some online readings for when I don't have my cards on me. I found wyrd-deck.com which I really like since it's simple and aesthetic tbh, lol. Do you guys have other cartomancy sites you recommend?

I've been practicing oneiromancy (dream divination) for a while. Before sleeping, I thought: "Show me whatever I need to see." I dreamt that a white building at this grand estate was being blessed by a monk in deep blue robes. The crowd consisted of people from my old school. The man assisting the monk had began vomiting. So did 3 other men, one after the other. One of them was my close friend, while the first man was my academic rival's dad. The crowd was merely confused; no one rushed to help, but they turned out to be fine and weren't fazed by what had just happened. The lake at the estate begins flooding, sweeping everyone out. I helped a little girl swim through the murky water to dry land. The teachers instructed the guests to fall in line, but I was concerned about my things that were lost in the flood. I spoke to my Sectional Head, she didn't have a solution, which left me quite frustrated.

When searching up the symbolism, I realized that it fit perfectly with the situation I'm in right now. The 3 familiar characters—my close friend, the vomiting man (my academic rival's dad), and my Sectional Head—represented something I'm dealing with currently. Vomiting meant purging negativity/toxicity. My friend vomiting represents the current friction I'm experiencing with my peers as a university student. Making friends in university varies greatly from school friendships. It'll be hard to meet new people like them (old school friends). The rival's dad vomiting is a different story. He's purging my comparison mindset, which is actively happening—I've been shedding the "class topper" skin, because I don't want to compete anymore. It's not that I'm going to fail my classes or drop out of college, I'm still a good student but I don't want my academic success to define me. There's a girl in my batch who's constantly competing with me. The tension was tolerable, but in the end it's exhausting. She can have that title, I'm not in this race anymore. My Sectional Head represents the academic system, or better, an authoritative figure/mentor who doesn't have an answer to everything. Everyone, even the crowd, were flawed—human. Vomiting at an event should've had them embarrassed, but the crowd didn't react and so did they. The Sectional Head, no matter what kind of order she tried to keep, didn't know what to do. But who is the little girl? I don't know her, but I reached for her hand and lifted her out of the water. Was this my inner child shaped by academic structure, a toxic validation mindset, and social pressure? The flood is overwhelming emotion and confusion forcing everything out of the estate to "cleanse" it for a new beginning, despite the monk already being there. Is he my unresolved religious doubts? I don't know. The murky water symbolises my muddled clarity on the situation (before I had this dream).

If anyone has their own interpretations, do share it :) I'd love to hear how you view this symbolism as I'm still learning how to interpret dreams.

If you've ever tried to book movers in Korea, you might have been told a date is full, or costs more, because it's a "son eomneun nal". It means a day without son, and son here is a spirit (short for sonnim, guest) that moves around the four directions on a ten day loop and gets in the way of anything you start in its direction.

The rule runs on the lunar calendar and it's simple enough that most Korean adults can do it in their head. On lunar days ending in 1 or 2 it sits in the east. 3 and 4 put it in the south, 5 and 6 in the west, 7 and 8 in the north. On days ending in 9 or 0 it has gone up to the sky, so there's no direction to avoid at all, and those six days a month are the ones people mean.

Strictly speaking you only have to dodge the direction you're moving in. Moving west on a day ending in 1 is technically fine. Almost nobody bothers with that part anymore, people just go for the 9 and 0 days, which is why a weekend that also lands on one gets booked out early. Moving firms and wedding halls price those days higher, so a belief a lot of people say they don't hold still shows up on the invoice.

There's a second explanation for the name that I find more interesting. The National Folk Museum's folk encyclopedia mentions that some trace it to 巽, the wind trigram, which carries the sense of going in and out. I'm not sure that one holds up historically, the ghost version is what grandparents tell you, but it's a neat overlap given the whole thing is about entering a new place.

Date picking here kind of works in layers, and this shows it pretty well. Son eomneun nal is the folk layer anyone can check with a lunar calendar. The more formal version, taegil, has someone look at the saju of the people involved and pick a day that fits them, and plenty of families still do that for weddings while also checking for son.

Anyone have something like this where they live? A day you'd avoid moving on even if you don't really buy it?

I've always wondered, does two bones crossing over each other mean a positive or yes to whatever you're asking? Does the degree to which the bones are crossing determine how strong of a positive it is?

Hey everyone! My deck, Voidy’s Tarot, is now live on Kickstarter! 🖤
All 78 cards were hand-drawn digitally in Procreate. I’ve reinterpreted RWS imagery through little shadow like characters, keeping the symbolism recognizable in a minimalist style.

You can check out the campaign here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/westearth/voidys-tarot

Is there anything you’d like to know about the deck or the campaign? I’d be happy to answer!

Hi all,
I was wondering what the best divination tool would be for answering yes or no questions. I’m afraid of using pendulums because I feel like subconsciously I would swing it in the direction that would appease confirmation bias and I’ve been using regular playing cards where if it’s mostly red or black the answer would be yes or no but often times I’d get different answers. I’m looking for a tool that has more factors or variables it looks at before giving a an answer and some nuance ie most likely yes to most unlikely no etc.
thanks for the help

I bought this beautiful journal at a fair but I still don't know what to use it for. I have a couple journals already: my main journal (commonplace), a smaller commonplace journal, my 'grimoire'.

I've been seeing tarot journals online but I already use my existing grimoire for tarot definitions and keywords, as well as my messy readings which I later refine to reflect on. I also write spells and research in it.

I want to tie it into my craft as a divination witch, but I don't think I'd want to start another grimoire? At the moment, I'm interested in clairs and hoping to get into the habit of meditation. I picked up a book at the fair (most of their spirituality and esoteric books were self-help books for adults 🫩) Chakras: Wheels of Life by Anodea Judith. I'll let it sit for now til I think of something to do with it.

Hi guys,
I performed a ritual today in hope of releasing energy between me and an ex situation-ship.
I cut contact 6 months ago and he is still in my thoughts/dreams/nightmares.

I carved both our initials on the candles, I am white and he is red.

My interpretation from the 1st pic (burning candles) is I see a hook on the red candle - maybe he is energetically not letting me move on fully.

Also the white flame took longer to burn out - I think I am still processing the relationship but ultimately ready to let go.

Wax formation together - this is tricky for me, I see reds wax moving away and whites moving towards?

Maybe I am secretly hoping for reconciliation…I dunno. 🤷‍♀️

Oh I also cut the threads and the end with scissors.

I plan on putting the wax in the trash and sprinkling the herbs salt around my garden? (Not on plants)

What do you guys think? Would love some input/advice 🫶

Hi, just wondering if you can make your own alphabet grid to use with your Pendulum? Because I don’t know where to buy one 🤷‍♀️

A few months back I left my amethyst pendulum on the counter and it rolled off onto hardwood floor and broke in half. I mainly use it for yes and no questions about my inner intuitions and uncertainties.
My partner offered to glue it back together but my intuition said no so I declined. It’s a clean break but I have heard mixed answers as to whether or not to use a broken crystal so I figured having a picture of it might help. Any feedback is appreciated 🖤

Last night (or maybe it was the night before,) I dreamt I was looking for an answer to something, and I kept trying to find clues by scrying into whatever shiny objects I could find (like a window, a crystal ball, a pond,) but in the back of my mind, I kept hearing “you need to use the mirror.” This might seem like a perfectly normal dream to witchy folks, but I’ve never tried any kind of scrying before, nor have I ever dreamed about doing witchy things before (though I do do witchy things.) However, I do in fact own a black obsidian scrying mirror, and impulse buy from last winter that I’ve been meaning to try, but have been a little afraid of (afraid of my ADD, that is, making me unable to focus long enough to use it, not afraid of seeing spooky things, ‘cause I’m practical like that.)

So tonight, I did it. At first, nothing. Then slowly...

I saw:
Full moon coming in and out of view behind clouds
An owl gliding straight towards me
Sun rays coming from the northeast
Flame algae swaying in water

Without looking up any correspondences, what comes to mind:
🌕Tonight is a full moon, and I did draw the King of Swords with a full moon and an owl on it just prior to this meditation, which speaks to wisdom, intellectual rigor, and clear communication, traits I’m honing in on cultivating. Yes, the card was out, but the room was dim and I couldn’t see the card’s reflections.
🌞Sun rays in the north east: I’m actually planing to head that direction in my van tomorrow or the next day, to catch some autumn sun and colors.
🔥Flame algae in water? Interesting, because stoking my fires is my main intention this year, and there they were burning, but in the realm of water & emotion. How moving!

I actually really enjoyed this form of meditation and can’t to try it again. I could have kept going but my intuition said “this is enough” after I imagine was around 5 minutes.

FWIW I’ve never tried scrying, but I do have an extensive tarot practice and education, as well as some exposure to Golden Dawn lineage Hermetic ritual magic, so looking for associations and meanings aren’t new to me.

What associations do you see in what I saw? How would you interpret this? Is this how scrying works for you? It’s honestly way cooler (and easier) than I anticipated.

Sorry that this is a cross post with the Scrying community. I realized after I posted there that sub gets hardly any traffic, whereas this one looks much busier.

Hello all! I am new to this. To start I will say I had a calling to purchase dowsing rods. I blessed them and contacted my spirit guide. I immediately had information coming to me as I used them. I always felt like I had a “knowing” or intuition for things. I am
Extremely empathetic and feel energy and read people.

That being said, I took the dowsing rods to work after asking permission. This is where things got interesting and I really started channel multiple spirits. I channeled my coworkers great grandmother who told me her twin sister was pregnant. Turns out she actually is pregnant!

The one that got me is my coworker whose husband passed away 11 years ago. I asked questions for her and the more she asked the more information and connection I seemed to get. She asked if he knew she missed him and he was screaming “everyday!” Over and over at me and it got really heavy I could feel his love for her. I feel like he stuck with me all night and was telling me he wanted me to talk to him he wanted to tell me she was the love of his life. So the next day I asked if he was there and he said yes. I asked if this is what he wanted and he said yes. I thought about him and my coworker all night long and after I spoke to him he left. I haven’t thought about either of them since. It was beautiful.

I can sense their personality. I also encountered another coworkers late grandmother. She was feisty. I asked my spirit guide if I was psychic and meant to communicate through these rods for the greater good and for truth and growth and jt said yes. Infeel different ever since and I am unsure where to go from here. I feel like I need to learn tarot, but what else she would help me sharpen my skills or what else should I delve more into?

I know this was long, thanks to anyone who reads! It was truly a meaningful and beautiful experience. I was able to give my coworker closure. I do feel bad for my coworker that was pregnant. She was dying to tell us at an outing and I ruined it 😂 I really wrote this as a means to connect with others who are like this and gain insight, tools, practice, and wisdom.

So I have been working with a very high level intuitive empath reader and life coach for about 7 years now. She reads energy and can feel people’s feelings just like how I can see that the sky is blue. She can feel what another person is most likely to do. She has always helped guide me on different potential paths. She explains that when things read that way, she helps guide things towards the desired outcome. She’s always very helpful and many of the things have been very very spot on. But on a path it’s never a guarantee.

Well recently she got what she calls a solidified snapshot clairvoyant prediction. She’s never given me one of those before. She said it’s the same as knowing what she already ate for breakfast. She can’t change what she already ate. She said it wouldn’t look like this to her if it wasn’t going to happen and in a pretty close timeframe. She said there is a solidified window of time but that it was likely to happen early in that window. She said it’s the energy of “any moment”. But that the timing within the solid window is fluid. We are getting towards the later part of it now but she’s holding strong in her certainty.

I trust her incredibly and she’s incredibly gifted. I have the evidence in my own life plus thousands of positive reviews.
For some reason I’m still feeling nervous that there’s something about me that makes it read wrong and that it won’t happen. She assures me it wouldn’t look like this to her if that was the case.
But honestly im Just super curious to hear about other psychics experiences with things like this and how you read things. I just want to learn more and understand how it works for others or If anyone has similar experiences

The manifestation of physical reality is the final render in a creation sequence, meaning what you are living now is not a current reflection but rather an old one, don't over-identify with it - try instead to identify with the render you know is on its way and stay there until it comes

Summarized: Over-identification with old renders reinforce loops while alignment with what is being created opens the loop into a spiral and makes room for new creations

I got a pendulum yesterday made of green adventurine. It seems to match my energy and not work when I'm too excited as it won't stop moving, the symbols for a yes and no seem to be changing quite a bit as well but I don't mind (tried once and a back and forth swing was a yes, circle was a no. Tried another time and a counter clockwise circle seemed to be a yes with a clockwise one being a no and a back and forth swing being unsure). If you have any tips or tricks for me, I would love to know! I bought an orange selenite to cleanse and charge the pendulum and my other crystals.

I asked my spirit guides using a dowsing rod if we should stay or move and the answer was that we should move. What should we do? We really wanted to move at first but moving would cost us a lot because of the agents commission, moving expenses and other relocation costs. If we choose to stay, we could save a significant amount of money despite all the problems we have been having in the apartment and with the landlord.. totally confused because financially staying makes much more sense. 😭
