What do you think about using AI in divination?

Hi all! I’ve been learning and practicing tarot for the past few months as a part of my craft, and have been feeling drawn to other forms of divination as well, specifically osteomancy. I’m curious if anyone has any pointers on resources or books I can look into to get me started (i don’t trust just googling it lol)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! 🔮

We seperated recently and I suspect because of a third party he wanted to pursue but neither of us hasn’t spoke about it or at all since that day it was all abrupt.

I’m not good at this but My interpretation is that the first day is him revisiting us almost like a rose coloured glasses way especially about me and having hope but actively trying to be logical or contain his feelings/thoughts. And the next day could’ve been him contained thoughts but has turned into a mental anguish obsessed messed he’s upset over particularly about his role in the relationship and his lack of reciprocation. I say lack of reciprocation bc the 6 of pentacles but there was definitely lack 😭! Also the knight of swords came last not the empress which I find interesting how the king came first. Makes me think he’s successfully contained his feels but it’s still there you know like an exterior that appears fine but isn’t. I also feel like this energy is highly active because well he’s trying to control himself mentally but also the devil and the 9 of swords are signs he’s ruminating BAD and he’s not happy about it nor does he know how to emotionally handle it. But im interested to what you guys have say. ;£

Through my life ive encountered friction between many virtues and shadows. Due to a recent reality check ive become aware and realised what I need to do.

Thereby multiple signs(master number 11, 9th house cancer stellium + nodes and justice + judgement lifepaths) showed me that I will be a teacher showing wellness by quietly modeling what it looks like to be emotionally secure, dignified and perfectly balanced.

I have made a 24 Virtues and Shadows book with Astrology, Tarot and Numerology links paired to the virtue/shadow.

During creating this book(took me roughly 1.5 month) I have become more aware and realised some flaws I had.

I have always had this thought that, when we all become full of virtue energy, salvation arrives to the world ---> creating heaven on earth.

My intent is to be helpfull to everyone reading this book. You deserve to be at peace and feel well!!!

Two weeks after this consult, a report who had gone completely unresponsive started sending his manager a weekly status update on his own, without being asked after re-arranging Feng Shui based on Qimen chart.

The situation

The client (Sylvia let's say) is a director at a multinational, managing a reporting line based in another country. After a New Year reorg, her boss was in the process of exiting the company, so for the time being nobody above Sylvia could sign anything off. In that same window, one of her overseas reports stopped communicating, missed deadlines, and only ever offered meeting times on national holidays. What eventually reached her was that he was on sick leave, but the paperwork never came through. She had no backup above her and no leverage below her.

The chart

We cast a Yang Dun chart, Ju 7, middle period, in the Jingzhe solar term, using the Chaibu method, for the exact moment she asked: March 12, 2026, 12:08pm. Each of the nine palaces carries a spirit, a star, and a gate, plus a heaven-plate stem over an earth-plate stem. Three people were placed on the chart: Sylvia as the Yi stem in Xun (upper left), her report as the Wu stem in Zhen (middle left), and her boss as the Chief Marshal in Kun (upper right).

Sylvia's palace (Xun)

Xun showed Sylvia's actual position: managing remotely, needing local support she wasn't getting. The Shock Gate sitting here, in red, meant unpredictable disruption rather than steady backup. That gate also clashed against its own palace, and that clash was the single biggest obstruction on the whole chart, sitting squarely on her side, not her report's. That's the key finding: the block to solve first wasn't the employee, it was her own position.

The report's palace (Zhen)

Zhen read as someone stubborn, a poor communicator, and inclined to dig in once he'd made a decision, which matched exactly what Sylvia was dealing with. But the palace also showed one opening: offered the right incentive to trade on, he'd engage. That's what made a PIP viable at all, rather than a dead end.

The boss's palace (Kun)

Kun showed the position actively emptying out, consistent with retirement, resignation, or transfer. For the moment, Sylvia and her manager could still talk directly and discuss the report together, but the support her manager could offer had a structural hole in it. Help from above existed on paper but wouldn't hold weight in practice.

The overall read

Tallying every signal on the chart, nine landed unfavorably, and all nine sat on the career line, meaning the line running from her boss down to her report. Both directions were blocked. The read: hold off, don't force a fix in the current shape, clear the obstruction first, then move. The order was the whole case.

The two moves

Step one: fill the empty slot above before anything else. Sylvia got her current manager to formally back her, closing the gap in the Kun palace before taking any action downward. In the chart terms, this also meant moving the disruptive Shock Gate out of her own palace, resolving the clash that was blocking her.

Step two, and only after step one: Sylvia sat down with the local HR partner and the employee and laid out a PIP with a clear recommendation attached.

Why the order mattered

A PIP issued while the manager's position is structurally empty has no authority behind it, and an employee who's already dug in will read it as an empty threat. Filling the gap above first is what gave the PIP actual weight. Waiting for a new boss to appear wasn't an option either. The Kun palace showed the position was leaving, not refilling itself. Someone had to deliberately put support into that slot.

Timing and outcome

Timing was read off Chen, the earthly branch anchoring Sylvia's palace: watching for it to be filled, clashed by its opposite branch, or completed through its triple harmony. Given how close the window was, we read this down to the day and hour. Two weeks later, the report was no longer unresponsive. He accepted the PIP and began responding to assignments, and now sends Sylvia a weekly update on his own: this week's work, next week's plan. Sylvia said if he keeps it up, she'll see him through the PIP.

I burned a second charge on a candle for my sugar jar, and the wax formed a figure-like shape on one side.

Here’s my interpretation: the figure-like shape felt like complications for the sugar jar’s optimal effects. It feels like there’s an external influence pulling my target away from the goal which requires some form of attention/intervention.

Since it's a second charge, it may just be that the candle was sitting unbalanced or caught a draft but I didn't want to take any chances.

Does anyone have advice on how to read this?

Hi! I'm fairly new to witchcraft but I know that I'm clairvoyant and exceptionally intuitive. My astrological placements also suggest the same and I have decided to learn about divination magic. Therefore, I request book recommendations on divinition magic other than tarot cards. And are there any books on tea leaves divination and scrying specifically ?

I have been reading for sometime now and I would love to bring clarity to others the way tarot and charm casting has done for me. That being said, I want to know where to start when it comes to advertising my services and where a good place might be to do so. I am interested in what other people have done and what has worked for you in the past.

Thank you for the insight!

So i been creating a form of divination using the game go as its base. Combining i-ching, fengshui,bagua, runes taosim and onmyodo philosophy of yin and yang . The idea is simple but can take a long time to master the board isnt necessary you can use a go board on an angle . But the board helps streamline.

You set the board postion so the one asking the question sits south and you the caster north .. its crucial . The board representation of you , the directions time and seasons consider it the human compass or clock.

The practioner has the one asking the question to select in a dark bag a single go piece. This is the center stone it represents the id (the person and their question) the bag will have equal amount of yin and yang stones (go piece black and white). Then they case by taking a small amout of stone from the bag and casting it on the board . The direction, distance from the center all are in relation to the question you base it around the number of yin vs yang stone. The area they are and distance from the center.. i can go into more depth later if you wish but hopefully this is a start. i plan to write it out in better detail as a book and if ppl are interested in learning i may set uo shop to sell and teach the princiole in said book i also included some excerpts from a book on taosim that should help with explaining the layout . Its important to understan yin and yang concepts when reading its relatiin to number of yin or yang, black and white to the center along with location on the board ... so you first measure the overall yin verses yand in relation to the center stone be it yin or yang then you base the directions and locations of each stone and number based on where they land so its three parts to the reading the base stone followed by the number as a whole then in detial of directions

If anyone does divination using birds, is there a folklore origin that is generally followed? I had a red bellied woodpecker knocking on my bathroom window this morning. I typically lean more on the secular side and considering I've lived in the woods for half a decade, this occurance wouldn't technically be unheard of. That said, I almost never have birds at my windows. I used to be heavily into divination, astrology, spells, etc. but in recent years I do maybe a 5 card line of lenormand or draw an oracle card every once in a while. From what I remember, birds are considered messengers in general. I know cardinals can represent passed on loved ones visiting but that's about it. I tried looking into Eastern European origins for specially woodpeckers but since they originate to North America, I hit a dead end there. Total side note, funny enough I just received an email while typing this post from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

So I have always had a thing with situations occuring a few days after i dreamt it and my witch friend told me that this is a Form of divination

I have gained a curiosity for it and want to know how it works and also how to like.. do it?? Like, Intentionally.

Are there things I can do to help it be more vivid? Answer questions or predict specifics? Help me remember since i tend to forget dreams

I sleep with asmr and found that I dont have as many vivid dreams or remember any when it does happen

Some Like, Baby steps Suggestions would be helpful!!

hello! i'm a baby witch and i want to practice divination via osteomancy. i have a collection of bones and trinkets i could possibly use for this but i dont want to practice is unless it is an open practice. many sources say it's practiced in celtic, norse, african, chinese and native american cultures but others say it's open for anyone to practice.

i don't know which is true and i want to know from someone who actively practices and is educated weather or not it's an open practice. thank you!!!

Edit: Tysm for all of the suggestions!

I'm trying to identify a rather unusual divination system I used as a child in Italy, around 1999–2000.

My best friend had photocopies of an old book that we simply called "La Sibilla" (The Sibyl), although I'm not sure that was its actual title.

It wasn't a tarot deck, a traditional Sibilla oracle deck, or a standard cartomancy system. It was a book containing tables filled with fragments of sentences, and we used ordinary French-suited playing cards alongside it.

Here's what I remember about the procedure:

We would ask the oracle a question.

We shuffled a regular deck of playing cards and drew a few cards, possibly three.

We only used their numerical values, not their suits or traditional divinatory meanings.

We performed some kind of mathematical calculation, possibly adding the values together.

The resulting numbers directed us to specific pages, tables, or numbered fragments within the book.

We retrieved several fragments of text and combined them to produce a complete sentence answering our original question.

The fascinating part was that these answers often seemed remarkably coherent and relevant to our questions.

I remember being absolutely mesmerized by the process of watching a meaningful sentence emerge from seemingly disconnected pieces of text.

I've recently started researching it again, more than 25 years later.

My strongest lead so far is the Cumaean Sibyl oracle (Sibilla Cumana), particularly an Italian book called Il segreto della Sibilla Cumana (1989). I've also found a later publication titled L'oracolo della Sibilla (Giunti, 2010), which describes a remarkably similar system involving numerical combinations and fragmented sentences.

However, there's one crucial detail I still cannot verify:

Why were we using ordinary playing cards?

Was there an older version of this oracle that specifically required playing cards to generate the numbers? Was it an alternative method included in certain editions, or perhaps a regional variation?

Has anyone encountered this particular system, studied historical Italian Sibyl oracles, or owned an older edition with the original instructions?

I'd absolutely love to reconstruct the exact method I used as a child.

Any leads, book references, or firsthand experiences would be greatly appreciated!

There is a hidden stretch goal for a Tarot Deck at a certain amount funded..
