Cross-Checking Divination Methods to Improve Readings

Find anything interesting in your cup, @Limeberry? Sounds like fun! :laughing:

That sounds awesome, @christina4! Crystal tossing? Ohhhh are you tossing the crystals on a crystal grid to get readings? I’d love to hear more about your new method! :star_struck:

Ohh wow, @Amethyst- the Two of Swords could mean a decision is approaching or already in your mind. The Tower may mean that one outcome from that leads to turmoil- I would interpret the repeated draws to mean that your deck is urging you to really think carefully! Good luck- sending you the best of wishes for whatever is coming your way! :hugs:

I just toss the crystals onto a mat (or piece of paper) with different words on them. And try and evaluate what the meaning is. I also like to incorporate the crystal meanings into the reading. I should have used this for my entry. Lol

Too many interesting things :sweat_smile: it’s exhausting trying to figure out what they mean! Yesterday’s tea had some worrying/scary images mixed in with luck and love. It’s all been a bit confusing the last couple of days! I’m going over my notes now and wishing I hadn’t deleted the pictures. It seems like some kind of internal struggle… relating to me but not my own if that makes sense? Ugh I love this divination stuff but it’s mentally draining :joy:

The Two of Swords is my stalker card, but I have no idea what decision it is that I need to think about carefully. I know I have to balance out something, otherwise everything could fall down around my ears, but I just don’t know.

Or my deck could just have gas and keeps throwing these up at me. Who knows? I’ll probably cleanse it real good Friday at the new moon and see after that.

I love this idea, @christina4- it reminds me of runes in a way (with the tossing and reading) but with your method you can choose which words to write :memo: . I think this really specializes each reading to focus on exactly what is being asked- a fantastic method! :star_struck:

I’m going to have to give this a try- thanks for sharing! :two_hearts:

Ohhh girl I know the feeling! :laughing: And the other day you had the Grim too, right @LimeBerry? A lot of darkness mixed in with symbols for love and happiness- quite a confusing read!

Perhaps this mix of symbols is reflecting your inner struggle and shows you need to regain balance? :balance_scale: As for whether the scales tip towards the good or the bad- your actions now will likely lead you one way or the other. Go for the good things! :laughing:

This is the best deck excuse I have ever heard :rofl: Omg @Amethyst you always say the best things! :laughing: Cleansing the deck under the new moon sounds like a great plan! This could be the pepto bismal your deck needs :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

If the Two of Swords keeps coming back after that- it’s probably time to take a deeper and more personal look at the card :mag_right: . It is starting to sound like there is some aspect of that card that it really wants you to know, but you haven’t realized it yet!

I know you’ve been writing your gorgeous tarot poems in order, but maybe skipping ahead and examining the Two of Swords with your creative mind will reveal some answers?

The 5 of Wands can be read in a variety of ways- the traditional and basic meaning points to conflict and pent-up emotions. Take a deep look into yourself and see if there are any suppressed feelings you are pushing back- you may not be aware of them yet! The New Moon is a great time for rest and reflection, so this is a great time for some inner exploration!

If you find you do need to release emotions and start anew, @SilverBear posted a wonderful New Moon Fresh Beginning Ritual you could do :new_moon:

If this interpretation doesn’t feel quite right- no worries! To help clarify the card and why you keep getting the 5 of Wands- try to crosscheck your reading with another method. Perhaps using a pendulum or reading tea leaves :fallen_leaf:

Good luck!

Thanks! I will try my pendulum. I didn’t even think to do that!

I got the High Priestess reversed today so at least for the moment, I’m not being stalked. But yeah, I may have to go more in-depth and research the Two of Swords if I get it again. I don’t like being stalked. LOL.

And, hey I think if decks can be sensitive to things, they can get gas. LOL.

Awesome- good luck, @Nadialuna! :grin:

Nice that you got a break from the Two of Swords, @Amethyst! It could be that whatever choice was being decided has already been put into action :+1: Either that or yeah- the deck is feeling less sensitive now :laughing: Either way, wishing you blessed readings to come! :flower_playing_cards:

Yeah, no more Two of Swords today either. Still going to take some palo santo to my deck later on today though. It could use it anyhow.

Hi, @BryWisteria @christina4 @Nadialuna @Amethyst @Limeberry

I was reading this post and all its answers and many questions came to me !!! What is a pendulum in witchcraft? And how is it used? What are its uses? Are Oracle cards different from tarot cards? How is Oracle used? Can anyone explain how to interpret tea or coffee leaves? I want to learn completely! And I do not know how crystal throwing works at all. Can you teach me how to do it and how to interpret it in a new post? And what crystals do you use? And how many?

I’m a certified crystal healer. And I now have my reiki 1 certification. I love energy work! And yes, I’m a crystal nerd :nerd_face:

It is great. So you will be a great teacher to me and I want to learn a lot from you, I am also very interested in crystals and stones, but I do not have many of them, just two bracelets from Amethyst and Onyx. And if we consider ordinary roadside stones, pink salt rock and blue salt rock as magic crystals.:joy:

They are! Salt is a crystal, it’s the simplest form!
I’d be glad to teach you!

These


I do not know if they have value or energy or not, but I love them and use them in my altar and as a symbol of the earth element.

This is an old necklace I do not know if they are stone or just a piece of plastic, is there a way to identify them?

@christina4 i am sure you always get lots of crystal questions… I think its so cool when you can remember all their names and their properties… I need this ability too

My crystals have labels so i can remember them and now i am slowly getting used to them and their energies, i will be able to peel them off…
