Personal Practice.
Amity Fox as Higher Priestess.
Most methods of Divination take some time for One to perfect. One may prefer to use particular methods rather than others, depending on which they have the most passion for. Or the magicians energy may resonate with certain methods of Divination.
Practice various methods of Divination, in order to find appropriate techniques to suit you personally.

My own Personal Methods of Divination are based off the development my intuition especially upon a particular querant.
Firstly, I look at the Querant. I discover the querants name and birth-date.
Look at the letters within Gematria, and the meanings or culture behind the name and find out the history of the surname.
Ones birth-date is vital to calculate a natal chart.
For myself, getting a natal chart is key to the beginning of a great reading.
Zodiac sun, moon and ascendant signs as well as the positions of the planetary at the time of birth will give a reading with interpretations on personality, and life harmonic and convergence lines form patterns.
Once a full detailed natal chart reading has been created, a Chinese astrology sign and a Numerology number can be defined. Combined, these readings make up a unique story.
The Querant may now be given a number/s, woods, flowers and herbs, and crystal gemstones that associate with each character trait. This allows powerful magic to be used in readings to invoke the querants persona into answers.
An altar may then be set with appropriate adornments, and a ceremony then takes place. Languages and symbols that reflect the querants purpose should be used within this initial sacrament. These rites alter vastly between sittings, suiting each one very individually.
After this has taken place, I can begin working my cards.
I usually begin this in my second session, after I have prepared a tarot deck wisely, to suit the querants unique culture, astrology and crystal gemstones present.
I use a variety of Tarot spreads aswell as Cartomancy spreads with playing cards, tending to research the correct interpretations for these omens. This usually takes one whole session, and much ink and parchment; tarot readings are meant to have fun with. The outcomes can be very different and there is much to be explored. Meanwhile, my whole experience also involves some of the many methods listed below.
