Ancient Divination Techniques for Beginners
We all want to know the future to some degree, as we are creatures living in a somewhat linear temporality for which knowledge of the future will help us to plan, learn, and ease into everyday life with no massive surprises. There is no harm in planning and using divination techniques to help us. We have been doing it for thousands of years to great benefit.
I will go through a few different techniques that psychic practitioners have found useful over the centuries, and which you yourself may be open to learning.
You too can master what many have forgotten over the generations!
Disclaimer: Of course, going too far in this direction of what I like to call “future tripping” can be problematic, as this will keep you from being present in your life and enjoying the richness of the very moment you are now within. Divination works in accordance with the present, so even if you are concerned with the future, taking stock and being intuitively present for your “now” will help you greatly to actualize in order to also plan for your future.
If you are having trouble being present for your “now”, I recommend breathing exercises and a daily visualization of white light pouring into each of your chakras (the seven bodily energy centers) from above and mixing this energy with energy you pull from the earth, like a form of cocktail. Then run this energy up and down your energy centers until you feel once again centered. This exercise and other grounding techniques will eventually help you to live in the present while also understanding the future and planning for outcomes you manifest.
Now, let’s look at a few divination techniques. In other sections, I have covered Astrology and Tarot Readings, so for now I would like to concentrate on the following: Aeromancy (reading the weather); Apantomancy (chance encounters with animals); and Pallomancy (working with pendulums). < mettre les liens vers les sections
There are so many forms of divination. These are just a few I like to use. In each case, if done properly, these techniques will widen your intuition and help you to live with ease in the present moment for a brighter future.
Aeromancy
Reading the Weather
Aeromancy is something you most likely probably already use to determine your day, checking up the weather channel and so forth. In fact, early aeromancy practitioners invented a lot of the tools current meteorologists now use, such as barometers to determine humidity and thermometers for temperature.
On a very basic level, aeromancy is looking at the sky to determine the mood of the day, and what the coming times will hold. For Eliphas Levi, the great occultist, this meant getting in touch with your intuition and imagination, and this simple act he felt was more powerful than any actual precise divination from the sky itself.
Some believe they can control the weather if they practice this technique enough, but this is quite dangerous and not recommended. For now, as a beginner, I would recommend taking time to gaze into the sky, the clouds, the winds, and ask your question for the future to an open sky – you will be surprised with the immediate feeling in your body, mind, soul and spirit. The sky, clouds, rain, will give you positive and reinforcing answers, even into a dark thunderstorm, you will find resilience and poetic grandeur.
It is a great practice to keep “in touch” with the sky, and to make a point of gazing above for a few minutes each day in order to check in with your gut, what you want, and your dreams and aspirations for life.
Apantomancy
Chance Encounters with Animals
Apantomancy was used in ancient Rome, where “chance” events were given weight beyond the adage “things happen”.
The most important aspect of apantomancy was chance encounters with animals. Many of my readers and patients ask about this, and I do believe fully that animals are in touch with deeper and wiser vibrations, and that we can really learn from them if we tune in and silently listen to their messages for us.
Historically, each animal specified a very different and precise message to the practitioner. You are most likely familiar with these interpretations: a black cat means bad luck; a circling vulture portends death; a ladybug brings good fortune. However, I believe that each experience with an animal is unique, and you must look to the historical and generalized meaning of the animal, in tandem with your life events.
It sometimes helps to call a psychic towards this reading, as they may be able to divine for you. For instance, my friend was recently visited by a hornet while working on a very important project. Hornets signify divine feminine energy and feminine warrior energy, as well as an enterprising spirit. Together, we figured out that the hornet was asking her to work with an all-female team but to be prudent with her power, and choose wisely. Every time she spoke about the project, the hornet would soar into her home, almost as if the hornet was also working on the project!
Here are some generalized meanings for common animal sightings you can layer within your own intuitive and life experiences:
Horse
To see a horse by chance usually signifies that you have within yourself the stamina to complete a project to its fullest. You will be victorious, and act from a place of integrity and courage. The horse is also a reminder to not be jealous, and to take heed of your own course of action and persevere – keep your head down and work.
Butterfly
A butterfly sighting is often associated with change, transformation and power in the form of a light touch. The famous phrase from Mohammad Ali comes to mind: “dance like a butterfly, sting like a bee”. A butterfly is seemingly light, but portends great positive change within its gentle wings.
Frog
A frog also signifies change, or events turning out beyond what you initially hoped. The tale of the princess and the prince disguised as a frog is key to understanding what a frog may be telling you. You may have acted out of kindness of spirit, purity and good things are coming your way because of past actions and kind deeds. The frog is also a reminder to be kind, in case you are in a grumpy rut.
Pallomancy
Working with Pendulums
Pallomancy has a long history and like most forms of ancient divination, it has given way to new forms of scientific invention and elaboration.
I love working with pendulums for yes or no answers as they are very accurate and direct. I charge my pendulum with selenite and quartz crystal. To start using a pendulum, you may want to first consult with a psychic to guide you through the process.
Here is a simple recap:
- How to hold your pendulum? Hold the pendulum with your left hand between your thumb and index finger.
- How to program your pendulum? The pendulum will swing in either clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation. Ask the pendulum to show you “yes”, the pendulum will start to move in one direction for yes. Then ask the pendulum to show you “no”, the pendulum will slowly start to spin in the opposite direction. You are now sure the “programming” of the pendulum is complete.
- How to ask your question? Ask your question with a yes or no answer with great intention, breathe into your question and ground your energy as you do so. The pendulum will start moving in the direction of the answer.
It is advised with pendulum divination to keep a record of your answers from the pendulum in one session. You may also make your own pendulum with a simple weighted and pointed crystal tied to a string. Some people even use a key, but I prefer to work with a crystal. Never make your pendulum out of a magnetic substance, and always ground, center and come from a place of calm before you start to work with a pendulum. The energies giving you answers are quite intense and even angelic, and you must not be in a chaotic, negative, or disruptive space when you consult.
