I have many tools on my altar, but my most used are by far the most mundane: extra long tweezers and my small scissors. No matter what I do, they always seem to make an appearance.

Honorable mention goes to my handheld lighter. Sorry I drowned you in wax that one time. You’re a trooper.

I highly recommend taking pictures of your workings and practices - I wrote a piece on why!
moonwisemagic.wordpress.com/2025/01/24/p...
Posting the pictures isn't necessary to reap the benefits, either. Just remember to look over them once in a while.

Pictures and Practice
Photography is shockingly useful for detecting issues, among other things. Here are more details on the benefits of snapping some quick pictures of your workings.

I recently read that the last few popularity spikes of meditation and mindfulness exercises brought a ton of people into the wider divination/spirituality space.

What first brought you into the space?

Dream interpretation is a touchy topic in many circles. Some say guidebooks are bunk, while others swear by them - I speculate on one possible reason why. moonwisemagic.wordpress.com/2025/01/10/d...

Dream Interpretation Guidebooks and Non-Universal Symbols
Dream interpretation doesn’t cleanly fall under the umbrella of divination, but interests in the topics tend to overlap. The pressing question is: guidebook or no guidebook?

This question may be outrageous, but has anyone ever tried a divination technique while lucid dreaming? I’m honestly curious what it would be like. #witchsky #divination

I made a friend's stone a divination focus and realized that the items I use to imbue and "teach" blank stones aren't necessarily ones I turn to for my own divination work.
Retired pieces just seem to carry a potency I can't get anywhere else.

Tarot decks can be made up of just about anything. I wrote up a post detailing my personal favorite sources:

Now is the time for refreshing and looking forward. For some people, it means cleaning altar spaces. For others, it means brisk walks in the cold.

Sometimes, it means kind words where there were none. So, let me put some here:

How interesting!
I trust you.
That was brave.
You're so smart!

I have a habit of changing standard #tarot spreads to answer questions I get/have the most. Here's a few large and small count card spreads that I've ended up using:

There's a common funk practitioners tend to get into right after they've first learned the craft or improved their skills meaningfully.

This week's piece covers how to shake it off and form meaningful spiritual habits.

Moving Past the Honeymoon Phase of Practice

I love it when divination results show up in an unexpected way!

The person I was scrying for was planning on planting flowers to honor their chosen deities. They were quite surprised when I showed them this picture!

As promised, #witchsky, a piece on the ethics of predicting the future:
moonwisemagic.wordpress.com/2024/12/06/p...
I cover many different topics, including free will nullifying predictions, the concept that some events are "set-in-stone", and the ethical ramifications of prophecies.
Take a look!
Predicting the Future – An Ethical Minefield
Divination isn’t just an art – it’s a practice. Ethics are key, and trying to predict the future has a lot of caveats and wrinkles that lay-people aren’t going to know about…

A question for #witchsky:
What are your ethics around someone asking you to predict the far future?

People can put a lot of trust and hope into predictions that can be changed and swayed by all manner of things (free will, counter-forces).

I think I may write about this for this week’s post!

The holiday season is approaching, and that means something very exciting: candle sales!
Take a look at today's post covering candle uses, configurations, and tips to get in the wax-based spirit:

The evenings are getting colder and quieter. The sky is clear and the new moon is about a week away.
It's the perfect time to use that crisp night air for intention setting and divination preparation.
Leaving stones somewhere they can feel the cold seems to make them...clearer, somewhat. #witchsky

If you've ever been unsure of which reflective divination method is best for you, I made a handy flowchart!

Crystal balls in particular come in many different flavors and it's important to understand what choices we have.

I don't know why, but today I thought about a pendulum I made as a preteen out of an elastic, sequined belt and a dense stuffed animal.

#witchsky, what kind of odd DIY contraptions/monstrosities did you make as kids (or as an adult - I won't judge).

#witchsky, what are your preferred ingredients/flavor profiles for tea to put you in the headspace for divination?

I love mint or ginger! Lavender puts me to sleep...

TTRPGs are great settings for #divination (as long as your group agrees it's okay)!

Characters really are windows into ourselves - why wouldn't we want the tools to properly understand what they're saying about us?

A fun tip: if you carve a rune or icon into clay and bake it, you can use it as a wax stamp! If you're not artistically inclined, you can also press the clay onto an item that has the desired pattern. Just keep in mind the pattern will be reversed when it's stamped!

If you have sea shells laying around in storage, try using them as ritual or offering dishes. Their natural shapes tend to hold objects quite well and are lovely to look at.
Smaller shells can also hold miniature versions of helpful spells that make great gifts to our loved ones.

I don't know how I feel about the fact that ghost hunting reality TV helped popularize a form of modern, technology-based divination.

Extra thanks to the divination pioneers out there - go see what they found!

For all my hobbyist #witchsky friends - have you considered adding an inclusion in honor of the full moon? A special knot on the back of an embroidery project or a hidden rune in a drawing is powerful and meaningful. Just make sure the piece actually gets finished after!
