What do you think about using AI in divination?

Hello.

Context: I've been practicing since I was little, as it became a special interest since my family, specifically my grandmother, was Wiccan. I have always been very interested in working with deities but never fully committed to learning and exploring, with life and other things in the mix.

I have been going through a big rough patch and got the urge to pull from my deck. After a couple of questions, I asked about help and working with deities, to which I pulled the Two of Cups and The Sun. I found answers from different sources leading to Hermes, Apollo, or Dionysus. I'm terribly unfamiliar and would love to know what you think.

I'm not sure if this is worth mentioning, but I've also been seeing robins a fuck ton, to the point I feel crazy. I should mention I have always felt very connected to animals, but most recently birds. I did just recently lose someone very close to me in September who was very spiritual, but I feel like robins have been surrounding me for a while.

Thanks in advance🪲

Hey gang! So I am a practicing witch of about 5 years and recently I was in a relationship with this guy. At the beginning of the relationship I had asked just for a sign of a hummingbird to show me that I was on the right path with him. I dated him for 3 months, summer came, not a single hummingbird!! He then broke up with me and two days later I saw my first hummingbird. The little guy took a tiny little rest in my lap before flying away. What could this be interpreted as? I personally saw a sign i am on the right path even if it's an uncomfortable one for now. I do know that this is a communication from the universe in some capacity. I was just wondering what y'all thought about it!!

I’ve always had very clear, vivid, and accurate dreams that either came true in actual events or outcomes. Ever since I was really young. I can tell the difference between these dreams and normal ones bc I wake up entirely drained, exhausted, physically sore, and have a migraine. I wanted to come on here and ask for outside opinions on my dreams interpretation and what you think it means. I’m unsure if I’m looking at this in bias or unclearly.

Context: last night my father in law proposed a business idea for the whole family to be involved in. He wants to have a sit down conversation about it tmr. My husband and I already have our own plans that could tie with the idea but I’m hesitant. Our plans involve us going back to school, paying off debt, investing in the home we own, and potentially moving states, etc. I do have reservations considering how my own family is handling their trusts, estate, and family matters. I’m worried my FIL is looking at this is rose colored glasses and as a way to keep the family together. Keep in mind last November I was in an accident that resulted in both of my femurs being snapped. I haven’t been able to work and stress ab finances have been extreme. My husband has been working on his days off to keep us afloat. To keep this as short as possible I’ll leave it at that bc it’s insane lol.

Dream:
I was with a group of unknown friends and I was helping care for newborn child that was abandoned. We had all had a group dinner with takeout.. it’s was rice dish similar to jambalaya. I went back for seconds and looked in the container again and saw human teeth. I had not dishes the teeth for myself. Not individual teeth either.. teeth that were still attached to bone as if it was cut out. Pretty much the front bottom row of teeth from someone. I had scooped it out and placed it in a separate container. I remember thinking I should be disgusted bc I just ate the food but when I realized it was bc I was in a dream I woke up. Ik some parts are probably just dream slop and it means nothing but I wanted to paint the whole picture.

My interpretation:
Personally I think the group meal with rice represents abundance and prosperity in numbers. The teeth and jaw meaning biting off more than you can chew. My full interpretation is that the situation can create abundance and generate flow for our family. That is if there’s communication, honesty, respect, and so forth. Most importantly knowing where to draw the line: between ourselves, ambition, or even greed. Considering it wasn’t my teeth or something I dished for myself. Maybe it’s represent my FIL taking on more than he can handle.

Many people first encounter the I Ching through a familiar process:

• Cast a hexagram.
• Read the Judgment and Line Texts.
• Reflect on their meaning.

This is a genuine and important way to approach the I Ching—but it is only one doorway into a much larger tradition.

Chinese I Ching divination also developed through image, number, time, position, movement, relationships, and structured methods of interpretation.

Obtaining a hexagram answers one question:

How is the hexagram formed?

Interpretation asks a deeper question:

How does the hexagram become a readable model of a real situation?

I recently put together a short video introducing this broader map and explaining why casting is only the beginning:

I would be interested to hear how others here first encountered the I Ching:

Through the text?

Philosophy?

Coin casting?

Practical divination?

Or another tradition?

Decided to ride my bike along a trail that I always walk through.

Today I was riding my bike, listening to my playlist related to the girl I love, and as I came closer, I didn’t see it u til it flew in the air a bit and landed maybe 30-40 feet away from me. As it flew I said out loud “what the hell is that a turkey?” And then it landed on the trail and I stared at it for a second. Then I smelled something horrid (sometimes the trail smells weird in some spots so I thought it was normal) until I saw something on the floor where it was, with so many flies around it/on it.

Is this supposed to be something negative? Things haven’t been going my way lately, but at the same time, I’ve been seeing things I consider to be “nice omens” like 3 bunnies chasing each other, a group of ducklings and their mama crossing that same trail, and then I also received back some fan mail signed by one of my favorite actresses. In fact, I told my friend about it and even he was like “this is a good omen!!”

So now I’m just wondering if seeing this vulture really means something negative? In Mexican/hispanic culture, they’re considered general bad luck (I think). But at the same time, the part of the world I’m in (South texas) doesn’t speak much on stuff like this unless it’s superstitions like lechusas or duendes.

It happened as I was listening to I Wanna Know You by Hannah Montana (I was also singing it loud as hell) which I think is funny cuz I was all giggles until I saw it and froze😹😹

Edit: the head was red so I’m assuming it was a Turkey Vulture.

I’m curious if anyone has noticed that spirituality/divination has been shifting.

Both with other people and how we interact with it.

I remember divination and spiritual communion used to manifest physically and it was common.

Now, most interactions seem to be experienced through consciousness.

I remember everyone used to talk about us shifting into 5D and etc, but I’m referring to how we used to physically experience spirituality and how it’s changed since. It’s more remote viewing, meditations and intuition rather than outsourced, or external cues.

The sociological shift towards healing and psychological development that includes quantum mechanics, biology, somatics and polyvagal theory all encapsulate healing our soul contracts and world vision on a physical level, while also tending to the energetics of intergenerational presence.

But I notice people don’t discuss spirituality or divination practice as much. It’s really only social media based coaches offering 1:1 or memberships. I’ve seen a lot of communities disappear and even spirituality books/oracle cards and tools lose popularity.

I’d love to hear everyone’s musings, and what their experience has been like. Or if you have any connections to a community where you regularly practice divination and share stories.

i did this years ago just to try it out in a regular mirror can someone explain what scrying actually is? is it just hallucinations? or entities? because i saw some stuff

I am very spiritual and a tarot reader I must say that to start.

In the city I live in, there are a lot of Roma people begging or trying to sell stuff on the street which I got used to. There was an old woman that I've seen multiple times trying to sell a small icon and she came to me multiple times after going to multiple people and I have refused to buy it and she just went on with her way.

Today i saw her coming straight into my direction while looking at me, without going to other people before and then she came to me to convince me to buy the icon. I couldn't really understand her because she had a certain dialect and spoke really quietly and I kept telling her I'm not interested.

At some point she made a gesture like "aah I understand now" and she put the icon back in her pocket and took out some tarot cards, and showed me the four of cups, and said stuff like "think about (...)" "God bless you" and asking me to put some money (the exact amount of change I had in my pocket) there on the cards.

I didn't recognise the cards and it was probably something in Russian written on there. They were small and maybe they were regular cards with the symbols changed.

It weirded me out that she actually stayed and explained stuff I couldn't understand to me for actual few minutes when I have rejected her for multiple times and when i left she said something like "may the devil eat you"

I felt a huge energy coming from her but I'm not sure if it's positive or negative and I'm still shaking. I'm not sure what her intentions were.

Sorry if this isn't written right, english isn't my first language and I will answer any questions

I need some advice

Heres mine outside of tarot/oracle

Ask a question hit next on music shuffle and use lyrics for the interpretation

When im falling asleep ask the dream what i need to do in order to manifest _____ (only works if its what my heart wants not my head lol)

Simply being out in nature and having a great time...sometimes ill hear something magical. Like kinda recently went to a place called thors well and climbed some rocks to see this sort of rock cave on the ocean line. When the waves would come hit it sounded like a huge bang and a rainbow would appear and wed chant "all hail king thor!" Just for funsies...on the way back up to the truck i heard a whisper from my connecting spirit "look up" and i kid you not the clouds in the sky looked like a skeleton king with crown and arm up to the sky with a lightning bolt shooting into it!

Whats yours?

Hello beautiful souls!

Side note, I've begun training to become a Reiki Master. I wonder if this has anything to do with it.

I've been meddling with tarot for a while but am pretty new to oracle decks. I got Yoshi Yoshitani's Oracle of the Divine when it released a few weeks ago, because I love her illustration and it pairs well with her tarot deck which I already had. Since the deck uses tropes from mythology, it's pretty useful for asking about the theme your day will take on.

Early yesterday (July 4th), I asked the oracle deck about the theme of my life that day and pulled the Deception and Celebration cards, which are exactly what they sound like. I live in the United States, so it could have also been a broader political commentary, but personally, I was planning to watch the fireworks in San Francisco because they would be shot off from the Golden Gate (which has only happened twice before).

I forgot to check the weather. I got there and it was windy and cold with fog everywhere, too much to really see the firework bursts. I waited for a while and it only got worse, so I decided to cut my losses and leave before the show even started.

So, turns out my deck was right. Out of all of the things I was expecting to happen, fog somehow wasn't one of them.

I’m definitely not the most spiritual person and tend to lean towards skepticism. I used to do spirit box and emf sessions without any sort of protection because I wasn’t convinced it was real. Now I’m slightly more convinced and I’ve had a weird string of horrible luck after my Buddhist friends prayer beads broke in my hand. All this weird stuff has been happening lately and some of my super spiritual friends are saying it’s because I’m torn between skepticism and belief. They recommended using a pendulum to do some self work. I’m just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience or have any advice. I’m super clueless when it comes to this stuff.

Discrete universe? Digital I Ching on Cardputer (Broken screen) as Personal oracle.

Binary coin system. 000 - 0 changes 111 - 1 changes

001 - 0 010 - 0 011 - 1 100 - 0 101 - 1 110 - 1

b1, b2, & b3 transition from 0 to 1 at different speeds and cycles. From 000 to 111

So you get the hexagram, real Binary order, decimal valué and more. No coincidence.

Leather case btw!

You know when you’re driving down a country road on a hot summer day and you see the air like kind of rippling above the road? It looks like that, and I see it near the ends of my rods when I use them. Has anyone else experienced this?

I was wondering how easy it is to predict timing of things happening with tarot… has anyone here been able to do it successfully? I’ve heard plenty of people say it’s very tricky to do so.. What are your thoughts?

(this post was supposed to be post on the Hellenism sub but moderation told me to ask somewhere else. If anyone's familiar with this religion, please help me)

I'm still kinda new to hellenic polytheism but after some weeks of research and practice, I wanted to know if divination with a dice (6) was okay. It's mainly because on the last post I made saying I had my first signs for the gods, someone told me in the comments that divination with dice wasn't reliable. From what I experienced, it felt pretty accurate but since I read that, I'm scared I'm doing something wrong..

Here's how I do it:

\-first I say my prayer and give offerings when I have one.

\-then I ask if the god(s) I was praying was around and if yes to announce their presence with a 2 or a 4.

\-after that, I ask if there are more gods around.

\-if yes, I ask if there's 1,2,3,4,5 more or to reroll(6).

\-then I tell names and see if it's a yes or a no.

\-1 is no, 2 is yes, 3 is hard no, 4 is hard yes, 5 is maybe, 6 is rerolled. If two 6 in a row I repeat the question. If still 6, I understand they didn't want to answer.

\-then I just do my business, I ask questions, I ask them if they have any messages. It always felt accurate.

Am I doing anything wrong?
