Weekly Witch Challenge - Divining Differently - Entry
I did a lot of research trying to get a better understanding of Divining Differently. I found a lot of interesting information, some of it I ruled out right away because it sounded like I would have to do an animal sacrifice. I love animals too much to ever harm them. On the same website, I found Bibliomancy (1) which is Divination Using Books. This one is interesting because I actually do this, not with a religious book but with other books, but I did not know what it was called. I also think this is why I have so many message decks (not Tarot or Oracle) but ones where you pick a card for a message.
Other divination methods I found are Graphology & Palmistry(2) I have explored both of these topics in the past. I also use Pendulum Divination & Numerology regularly. (3) I have a Life Path number of 11 but I will save that for another post. There is a very long list of Divination Methods on Wikipedia (4) which proves we have a very long history of trying to forecast the future.
And now… I have decided to discuss Biorhythms as my entry. When I was young, my mom did biorhythms which she calculated by hand, but nowadays there are apps for my phone which are much easier to use and more accurate. 
What are Biorhythms?
Most biorhythm models use three cycles: a 23-day physical cycle, a 28-day emotional cycle, and a 33-day intellectual cycle. (5)
Biorhythm-365 iPhone App (6)
This is an app I found on my phone. The developer has added a 4th cycle for Intuition, which I find interesting. I’m checking it each day because I want to see how accurate the Intuition cycle is. My mother swore by Biorhythms, she thought they were very accurate. On the other hand, biorhythms have been called pseudoscience. I guess it’s a matter of opinion, what do you think?
