Divination Techniques

I am highly interested in the art of divination and I wish to learn more about the different styles. I have looked stuff up, but I want to talk to a variety of people from different experiences. Some things I know how to do is
1. pendulum(although, I think my emotions get the way of the truth),
2. mirror scrying(my flat screen TV seems to work because of my general lighting),
3. Rune casting(albeit, I have to use paper sadly)
I would also like to get into other stuff that you guys know. Thank you!

From my experience as a Korean mudang and other Tibetan practices, I have done:
-Korean Flag Divination-After or while reciting prayers, you dance with 5 flags/ribbons of 5 different colors and read how it moves(quite difficult, but takes time)
-Tibetan scrying-There are 2 versions of this I know. One is the Buddhist way through the dharmapala goddess, Palden Lhamo. Another is through the mountain goddess of divination, Dorje Yudronma. After a series of prayers and rituals to whichever of those two deities, the scrying starts.
-Mala(108 prayer beads) divination-This is where you get a Mala of prayer beads, and say one Mala/108 of the mantra of Manjushri. Then, the beads are quickly slid without thought till there's one to three beads left between your hands.
These are some of the traditional divinations I perform. Hope these educate you.

I use rune stones and other symbols

I am studying the art of Ogham,which is a celtic form of divination. They use symbols, like runes do. You can get them in card form. But the actual Ogham are made of sticks with the symbols on them.

I do:

• Runes
• tarot
• i-ching (cards and coins)
• pendulum
• chanelling
• scrying
• cartomancy with playing cards
• oracle cards
• lenormand cards
• geomancy
• dream readings
• tea leaf readings
• harrow cards

Plus i have a special bottle cap oracle that i made for myself outnof a little inspiration.

Divination is kinda most of what i do.

Pendulum divination is my specialty. I work with my pendulum far more than I do other forms.my reason being is that the pendulum has been far more accurate than the others. I use to have trouble with that at first. You see I was always asking the wrong source. I then started asking my higher self and used phrases like"all things considered,"and "is it optimal that, " or "is it in my best interest," plus prediction questions are not usually very accurate yet you can ask for possible scenarios. I usually just use my pendulum for finding things and people... So yes I recommend sticking to it.

Thank you everyone, it took me a while but I found out people posted on this lol.

There is pyromancy, a divination technique using fire. It's kind of like an umbrella term though because there are several forms of this. I've been learning about smoke divination more specifically lately like Livanomancy and Capnomancy. I like Livanomancy. Here is a section from my BOS on it:
"Livanomancy is a divination technique using smoke, and it has been used since ancient times. It has been referenced back as far as 2,000 BCE. How it works is the diviner asks a question and then throws a catalyst-frankincense- into a pre-built fire and observes the smoke. Step-by-Step Process:

1. Build a fire. Be careful!
2. Take a handful of frankincense.
3. Focus your intent on seeking an answer to a specific question.
4. Speak your question aloud.
5. As you finish your question, toss the frankincense into the fire, being sure that it will land in the flames or among the coals.
6. Carefully observe.


An affirmative answer could be a singular pop, or crackle, while the smoke travels towards the diviner. Then an negative answer could be no sound and the smoke travels away from the diviner."
