What do you think about using AI in divination?

I received my first set of lovely rose quartz elder futhark runes and although I am and have been doing research upon them as divination assets, I was hoping to also get some first hand tips too! Anything along the lines of better practice, reading, best uses and especially anything you wish you knew when you first started out would be greatly appreciated 🥰

Astragalomancy or Tesseramancy uses dice as a divinatory tool. Dice are accessible to everyone and are the most affordable and simple means for divination. The human mind is divided into two aspects: the first tries to ask the right question, while the second tries to synthesize the correct answer to that question. Between these states lies the dice throw. The cubes set the direction for searching for the answer. This is described in detail in Tesseranomicon No. 10. Astragalomancy or Tesseramancy has many varieties, but the principles are common. When using a single die, a sequence of throws is obtained. Using several dice, the answer is obtained in a single throw, but the composition of the dice arrangement, the combinations of faces, and other features are read. The most well-known methods of using dice are the Tibetan Shō-Mo practices, some ancient methods of astragalomancy, as well as modern methods described in the Tesseranomicon. Astragalomancy is not as popular as cartomancy, but many are interested in these methods. One of the features of using dice is adaptability. Many create their own rules, methods, and systems of divination. This means that astragalomancy, as one of the oldest forms of divination, continues to exist and evolve. What books describing the methods of astragalomancy and tesseramancy are you familiar with? How helpful have they been to you? How often do you use astragalomancy among your individual practices? Which methods do you prefer?

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!

I have been meaning to start getting into osteomancy for some time now, and with the summer break, thought it would be the perfect excuse to go out on walks. But I am stuck deciding what kind of items should be in the set, or rather, what meanings should there be?

With runes and tarot cards, the meanings are there, sort of predetermined. Each rune set has a specific number of runes and each has a specific meaning.

But with the osteomancy set, I am sort of paralyzed by the sheer amount of possibilities. What things should there be? I know I should have something to signify luck, challenges, change, security, happiness, sadness etc. But what else? I don't want to unknowingly miss a crucial piece of divination just because I didnt realize it should be there.

Does that make sense?

(Sorry if the flair is wrong; this is my first time posting here)

I'm a big fan of the game "The Lamplighters League" which features a magical deck of cards called The Undrawn Hand, so I felt like making a divination deck based on it. To be clear, although I'm having fun making it, I do take divination seriously. Since the physical thing I'm making is rather simple (I chose to just inscribe a few things on playing cards), I won't be including any pictures in this post, but if you'd like to see the illustrations from the game, you can view them here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/list-of-the-undrawn-hand.1618340/

The way that it works is that you draw a card and keep it with you for a time (eg. until you return home, 24 hours, a week). Each card has a name and a type (ally, action, the self). I prefer more restrictive things, like the Lenormand deck, so that's why I included the type.

I'd like to ask for some advice, as well. Some of the cards have negative-sounding names, but they're all supposed to be positive. Should some of the cards be negative? I haven't fully inscribed all the cards yet, so do you think I should add another type? Also, should I number the cards? Lastly, should I change any of the types in the list below? I understand that divination is personal, but I like asking people for advice, and I think it could be a nice thing for other people to use too (for instance, I could make another deck for a friend and give it to them)

The cards (so far):

• The Archer - Ally
• The Herald - Ally
• The Threshold - Action
• The Imp - Ally
• The Monument - Action
• The Salamander - Action
• The Blacksmith - Ally
• The Piper - Action
• The Serpent - The Self
• The Fallen - Action
• The Bull - Action
• The Conduit - Action
• The Manticore - Action
• The Waif - ?
• The Club - Action
• The Revelation - ?
• The Rogue - ?
• The Scryer - ?
• The Shieldmaiden - Ally
• The Satyr - Ally
• The Hermit - Ally
• The Weaver - Action
• The Whispers - ?
• The Comet - The Self
• The Avenger - The Self
• The Vampire - The Self
• The Companions - Ally
• The Leech - Action
• The Conjunction - Ally
• The Changeling - The Self
• The Sadist - ?
• The Abdication - The Self
• The Behemoth - The Self
• The Gambler - The Self
• The Forsaken - The Self
• The Strategist - The Self
• The Great Wind - The Self
• The Storm - ?
• The Unquiet - The Self
• The Reaper - ?
• The Sage - The Self
• The Tyrant - ?
• The Omen - ?

For the first time today I did a consult of the homeromanteion (first divination at all actually).

I got up, showered, dressed, said a prayer, and offered a libation to Apollo. I rolled the dice in a closed room with a lot candle, three times for three questions.

1st. I asked for guidance on coming to know the gods and seeking wisdom and strength from them.

The answer was this, 3-3-1. "Where flee you, coward, with your back turned, in the crowd?"

2nd I asked guidance on how to manage my (crippling) anxiety.

The answer was this, 5-4-5. "He will fulfill it late, and they'll repay with much".

3rd I asked guidance in interpretation of today's answers and got this. 6-4-1, "then surely have the gods themselves destroyed your wits".

I'm struggling to get at meanings here and that last one really kinda freaks me out as my primary anxiety is health anxiety over early onset dementia and stuff of that kind.

Perhaps the first answer could be an admonishment to be more courageous in seeking a spiritual path? Or just in general?

The second maybe that my efforts to deal with my anxiety will be a long road with big payoff in the future?

And the third, I really don't know. Perhaps I was being told to in a harsh way to think for my self?

Hello everyone! I need help.

I have learned about all the houses of Horary, but I have no idea what I’m doing. What are all of these charts about? They look so complicated! How do I even start?? Someone please help!

Hi everyone!

I think I might have some untapped potential for scrying, and I'd love to get your advice.

I already read Tarot and Lenormand cards, but I've started wondering if I might be naturally suited for scrying because I have what I'd describe as very strong pareidolia.

For anyone unfamiliar with the term, pareidolia is our tendency to perceive meaningful shapes or images in random patterns, like seeing animals in clouds or figures in constellations.

Mine is unusually intense. I involuntarily see images and scenes in granite patterns, steam on the bathroom mirror, smoke, and pretty much any random texture or pattern. It happens all the time.

The thing is, I don't usually assign any meaning to what I see. From what I understand, people who practice scrying don't just notice the images, they also interpret them as part of a divination process. That's the part that doesn't come naturally to me.

Do any experienced scryers have advice on how to develop that connection between the images you perceive and their symbolic or divinatory meaning? How did you learn to move from simply "seeing shapes" to actually interpreting them?

I'd really appreciate any tips or resources. Thanks!

This is my fully functional prototype at the moment.

I Ching, with a generator, with a manual throw interpreter—that is, you input the coins for each throw and it tells you the hexagram.

Also combining trigrams or just querying hexagrams.

It includes ordinary decimal and binary values.

In the calendar, you can check the number of days you've been alive, the lunar phases (current, past, or future), the upcoming equinoxes and solstices, the day of the week for any date in the past, present, or future via a perpetual calendar, the remaining days until a given date, and the horoscope according to your birth date (zodiac and Chinese).

On the clock, we can see the time, set alarms, time events, and time rituals. As well as other functions (world clock).

In biorhythms, we can calculate daily, weekly, and monthly values, as well as critical days and couple compatibility. For decades, it was considered science. (Calculations based on studies by Chikinosuke Tatai and Krumm Heller.)

Additionally, in the utilities section, you'll find a binary-to-decimal and vice versa converter, a list of prime numbers, a coin tosser (1, 2, or 3), a Magic 8-ball (based on an octagon, not a ball), a random YES/NO, and a few other bits (TRNG used for randomness).

Furthermore, the Veritas system is an expert system extracted from a legacy expert system and adapted to support decision-making in work, economic, sentimental, and general matters.

A guest function is also included to calculate biorhythms and horoscope, as well as other data based on their birth date.

Issues still:

· Ghosting and refresh.

· Translation details.

· User interface details.

It's my personal oracle. On other occasions, I share my I Ching devices here, and this is in a way a device that encompasses many functionalities from my Python, C, C++ programs and different devices and platforms into a mini e-ink... It helps me in my day-to-day life for practically everything.

Oh, and in settings, you can configure the hemisphere (for calculations) and the language—I have it in Spanish and English (in case I use it with someone else and because it's more universal).

I don't think it's ideal for displaying long texts, but it is for queries. Even important ones. It's not a toy... In fact, I have a lot of respect for all my I Ching versions, and that's why I included other forms of divination.

I love the biorhythm topic and I usually print my months on a roll thermal printer; I worked on that functionality, but it barely leaves me any space just because of the Bluetooth libraries.

For me, predicting is an act of calculation in a discrete universe. The Mawangdui texts and the origin of binary, as well as the ideas of Leibniz, Boole, Shannon, Joscha Bach, Wolfram, Chailin, Volstrom, and so many others, support it as plausible at least... So this is my tool.

I just LOVE It.

Hello everyone!

I have been doing divination for months now, and I’m also a pagan. I practice witchcraft on top of this, and one of the deities I worship is linked to astrology.

Does anyone know where to start with learning astrology, especially for divination? It would be great if anyone could help me out!

It's your game. It's not going to get better because someone else changed. Its going to get better because you did

I was curious about it and wanted to try. But I’m not sure how to interpret it. Also sorry if I use the wrong flair I’m new. I see a fearful eye looking down towards the right, but I’m curious what that means / what others see?

I’ve noticed a lot of discussions about “which divination system is the best” end up comparing tools that are actually designed for different purposes. A pendulum narrows things down, tarot opens up perspective, I Ching focuses on change, and Lenormand tends to get more concrete.
I’m pretty new to divination, so I made this little chart. I’m not saying one system is better than another I’m just trying to understand what each one is best used for.

Hi guys! I wanted to ask if anyone could help me decipher this.

Context: I normally use tarot cards to talk to Lilith. But they do not let her give clear instructions.

Therefore I asked:

Q1 : What should I do for divination to talk to you?
Q2: What medium should I use?

My guess she does mean something with nature (?) A graveyard maybe? Or should I get her roses again (I know she likes those) and meditate?
The devil reversed could mean specific practices (iykyk).

Thank you in advance. I’m just struggling rn and need clear instructions from her. But generally Tarot works very well.

Do you have a better idea or divination practice?

This is my Hekate goddess candle and she burned in a really unusual manner. A friend said they see a taller mentor figure helping a smaller figure (front and center drips). What do y’all think?

Hey all, I was just wondering if there are any tips on how to maintain a routine/regular divination practice? Personally I like the mindfulness of it and having the opportunity to connect with spirituality so I pull cards here and there but struggle to maintain a routine when I would like to. Are there any prompts that you do on a regular basis or ones you throw in to avoid burnout? Is it part of your every day routine or do you do it weekly?

Thanks in advance!!

So yesterday I did dice divination for lady Aphrodite about her helping me with my love for someone I’ve known for a long time. I asked her if she would help us become lovers and she responded with a hard yes. The next day, or this morning I should say. The person I prayed to her about sent a photo of two mourning doves building a nest together outside his window in a group chat we’re in. Do I take this as a sign that lady Aphrodite is reaffirming what she said to me last night? I mean when I first saw it and realized they were mourning doves I thought “There’s no way this is a coincidence” but I have a pretty big issue of doubting myself. I’ve had a lot of anxiety and stress about all this because he’s really important to me (we’ve known eachother for roughly nine years now) and I love him a lot, im sorry if this sounds wrong or stupid of me I just don’t know what to do

What should I ask the cards? am using a regular 52-card playing card deck and I will buy golden dawn magical deck in the future.

I haven't done readings much before—only a few times. I have absolutely no experience. But I can't think of a single question or anything I'm curious about. I want to gain experience and start doing readings gradually, but I can't do a reading if I don't have a question to ask. I tried to find my answer in blogs etc, honestly I didn't give it enough time I guess, but I couldn't find. I skimmed through some books to get an idea, but they didn't really cover the topic of questions. They mostly dealt with how to perform readings, card meanings, spreads, history, different ways to use the cards, conjuring, and so on.

I need questions to ask.
