What is divination?

Divination is the use of a unified system to gain insight into a question or situation. It is often considered to be an occult practice, and may or may not be a part of a ritual. The most common and familiar form of divination in Western culture is the use of tarot cards, followed by the pendulum and runes. However, there are many different forms of divination practiced by various people of many different cultures worldwide.



What do you use?

I use runes. The set of runes I use are made from elk bones, and are kept in an elk leather bag. I commissioned them from Tannin Schwartzstein.

I am now also offering tarot and alphabet dice readings.



What are runes?

Note: This is an incredibly simplified definition. If you have further interest in runes, I recommend doing some reading and research!



Runes are the letters of ancient Germanic alphabets. They are usually referred to as the Elder Futhark and the Younger Futhark/Anglo-Saxon Futhorc — or fuþark and fuþorc. The Elder Futhark is Scandinavian in origin while the Futhorc, as noted, is Anglo-Saxon.

Divination with runes is often called “rune casting”, or “rune reading”. It is most common to see the runic symbols carved into or painted onto stones, but it is possible to make a rune set out of any number of materials for divination. For example, mine is made from bone. Wood is another popular option, as is clay. It is important to find what works for you, if you are considering taking up divination using runes.



How do you do your rune casting?

I will typically do a five rune draw. I hold my rune bag in my lap and stir them around until I feel it is the right time to draw the runes. Sometimes, I do put these into a layout — and sometimes I will throw them onto the table and observe how they “interact”.

Many of my rune readings are intuitive in nature, meaning I get psychic impressions about my querent while I am touching the runes or concentrating on the reading. This means that I will sometimes bring things up that you didn’t necessarily ask about, or the reading will go in a different direction entirely. I read the runes and the impressions that are there.

What are tarot cards?

Tarot cards are a deck of “playing” cards, typically made up of four suits and divided into the major and minor arcana. Variations in decks do exist. These cards are used as a unified system for divination.

What are alphabet dice?

Exactly what it sounds like! I have 15 dice, with a letter of the alphabet on each side. I toss these on the table and put together what words I can see. This is my newest form of divination. It is well suited to communicating with spirits and the dead.

You see these in action, in a fictional setting, in Insidious 2. They are sometimes referred to as “ghost dice” or “spirit dice”. You don’t need special dice, however. Mine are a set of vintage dice from an old alphabet game.



How do I get a reading?

I do not offer free readings at this time. I did, in the past, and I may consider it in the future as part of a follower giveaway.



I do not set a price for the type of reading I do, since I let the tool dictate the reading. I only ask that it is over $5. I have received payments ranging from $5 to $500, so it is what you are comfortable with or feel the rune readings are worth to you.



I will consider trade, if you need a reading but are not able to provide monetary compensation.

I will usually accept:

-Artwork

-Crocheted or knitted items

-Poetry

-Animal parts acquired and traded legally

-Small knick knacks or trinkets for Loki’s altar

-Other crafted items



I ask that any artwork or poetry created as payment for one of my rune readings be dedicated or made for Loki. I like hats (for knit or crochet). I am always looking for pelts, tails, skulls, and other items of that nature.



What do you need to know for a reading?

I prefer to do blind readings, so give me as little information as possible while still being able to ask your question.



An example of a good question: “Hello! I would like a reading about my academic future.”



An example of a less than ideal question: “Hello! I am currently in BFA program, and I’m really enjoying it but my friend Jennifer thinks that it is a dead end and that I won’t be able to accomplish anything with the degree. I am seriously considering quitting the program, but I’m worried that I have already spent so much money on this degree. Maybe I should just continue? Maybe I should switch to a different program? I’m really worried about money right now and I think that’s hurting my relationship because I’m not really wanting to go out with my partner right now. Money’s tight! What do you think?”



That gives me way too much information and doesn’t really lend itself to getting a reading! I could tell you right now that you’d get relating to exactly what you were worrying about… financial concerns, transition in life, relationship strain… and that’s all because that’s the information I was provided! It acts as interference. So please, please, please limit the amount of information you give me. You’ll get more accurate and useful readings that way.



I got a reading from you and it was great, but I have some questions!

That’s fine. Please, ask them. I don’t mind. I may ask for additional payment after a certain point, or if you ask things that weren’t a part of the original reading.



I got a reading from you and it was really… not accurate at all.

I have never had someone tell me that one of my readings did not pertain to them in some way. I have heard “that confirms what’s going on, but doesn’t give me any new information”. However, divination is not an exact science and there is a high possibility that I will one day be completely off-base with a reading. If that happens to you, please tell me that the reading did not pertain to you and I will be happy to perform another reading for you.



I do not provide refunds for divination.

Any other questions? Please ask!
