    There are so many ways that people have used divination over the years, some of them may take you by surprise. From reading lightening to predict what gods were trying to communicate, tea leaves and even bread and crumbs.. here's a look at a few forms of divination that are still practised today.

    Traditional forms of divination we use are pendulums, crystal balls, tarot and more. There are some new ones to discover here

    I will add as many as this as I can daily/weekly, things are very busy at the moment but I will pick at random.


    --

    Alomancy - Divination with table salt.
    Also known as halomancy, this form of divination involves studying the patterns made by table salt poured from the hand of the practitioner onto a consecrated surface or small area of land, preferably used only for the purpose of divination.

    Chirognomy - Divination of observing the hand.

    Like palmistry , this is another way of divining the future by observing the hand. Chirognomancers study its general formation rather than the more particular aspects considered my chiromancers and palmists.

    Clairaudience

    The word means 'Clear Hearing' . This method of divination is usually regarded as a form of extrasensory perception also known as ESP.
    Wherey the unseen spirits who inhabit the future speak to the select band who have 'the gift of hearing'.

    Clairvoyance

    Using their gift, which is another form of ESP, Clairvoyants 'see' into the future , either during a self enduced trance during which pictures of future events come to mind, or in flashes that can come, unsettlingly , out of the blue.
    According to one claim, a passenger about to embark on the RMS Titanic, had one such sudden clairvoyant experience as she was about to board the liner that she got off and refused to sail.

    Cleromancy

    The shifting patterns of sea shells and pebbles on the beach, either moved by the flowing tide or taken from an appropriate beach and dropped from the hands of the diviner, are believed to be cleromancers to help them dip into the waters of tomorrow.
    Another method of cleromancy is to hold a seashell up to the ear and listen. Most of us, when children, did this and were convinced we could hear th Sea. Cleromancers with an ear for this sort of thing, believe that the gentle rushing that can sometimes be heard is a voice from the future telling of events yet to happen or trends that will gradually unfold as the tide of life ebbs and flows.

    Critomancy

    This comparitavely obscure method of peeking into the future involves baking special barley cakes.
    The way they take shape in the oven and the patterns the crumbs make when the cakes are being eaten, are the things that those who bake them hold to be significant.

    Cromniomancy

    Not much is known about this old method of divination other than the onion sprouts were thought to be able to provide pointers into the future

    Crystallomancy

    When we think of divination or to give it it's more common name, fortune telling, one of the images that comes to mind is probably of an old woman peering into her crystal ball waiting to see what is to come. Fortune tellers are crystallomancers by another name. It need not be a crystal ball, any crystal on which the seer is properly focused can be used.
    Some crystals are said to have special powers and are used for their own purpose. Sunstone for example, is reputed to be an excellent conduit for those seeking knowledge of future matters of a sexual nature, while rose quartz has the reputation of helping those seeking advice on how to mend quarrels, especially with those close to them

    Dactylomancy

    This is a branch of radiethesia that uses a ring suspended on a piece of string or specially consecrated cord to peer into the mists of time to come.

    Daphnomancy

    People who divine using daphnomancy as their chosen method do so by burning Laurel branches on an open fire and interpreting the resulting crackling that fills the air. Laurel is a wood that was sacred to the Ancient Greeks who believed that it communicated with the spirit of prophecy

    Dowsing


    This is the method by which the presence of water or precious metals is divined by using a forked rod that vibrates when held over the spot where what is being searched for is to be found. Hazel is the favoured wood for the purpose.
    Many people scoff at the very idea of dowsing , but there are too many records of times when it has been used successfully to detect water when all other methods have failed, for it to be derided by non-believers
