Many people are intimated by the process of divination believing that they don’t have the talent or skills necessary to successfully use it. However, the problem frequently isn’t with the person, because everyone is intuitive to some degree, but with the tool they have chosen to work with.

Some people seem to believe that that their only choice is to work with Tarot cards, but that belief is completely unrealistic. Some people get messages with cards and others just see pretty pictures. The same holds true for Runes, pendulums, or any other means.

If you Google historical methods of divination, you will learn that people used all sorts of things, from the movement of clouds to chickens eating grain, to attempt to get some sort of divinatory message so don’t get discouraged if what you have been trying to use doesn’t work for you. Do the research and find out some of the history of the various types of divination tools available now and some of the basics about how to use them. Take a class in what seems to call to you and ask lots of questions. Get a reading from a professional and watch how they manage various aspects of working with their tool.

Finally, the only way to learn to divine with a particular tool is to use it! This will involve you actually sitting down and doing readings and record your results to see if it is effectively giving you what you need over time. If it works, keep using it; if you find it doesn’t, try something else instead. You may also find that what was effective for a long time may stop working and you may need to start the process all over again with something new.

As a helpful hint, if you choose to work with Tarot cards, take the time necessary to try out a bunch of different decks to figure out which one you are able to most effectively interpret based on the artwork
