Divination has really gained in popularity in recent years and is not something saved for those mystical folk who ask for silver to cross their palm in a tent at the circus. Divining basically is about using tools to help you access the divine and ask questions. To seek guidance or reassurance when you feel a little lost. I tend to pull a card when I am feeling unsure if I am on the right path. It really doesn’t matter which tool you use, all that matters is that you are open and inquisitive.
