i just look: beyond the fabric of our fragile reality, onto roads of the future as it's going to happen so far.

or i'll just feel out with my spirit to determine the general events that are going on around me.

Okay, just discovered this topic was up here, and since this is one of the main areas I work within, a few things I've discovered over the years...

[]most importantly keep a young, open mind to it all, don't grow old and crystalized in thought patterns and being. A good imagination like a child where anything is possible is a good opener.
[]let your mind go, take heed of what thoughts running through the mind no matter how much non-sense thay may make at the time.  Later they usually mean something important or over-looked at the time.
[]The local environment is full of symbols if you're willing to look and learn them.  What do they mean to you personally? One of my acurate guides/symbols, butterflies, always signal change.
[]Since I use Tarot Cards, visuals are a good trigger to divine by if your mind is bent that way.  It is surprising what will attract attention suddenly in an image and become a focus unexpectidly.
[]Following a thread or train of thought, seeing where it leads by automatic writing, just keep writing...after a while it becomes easier and easier the longer its practiced and more prophetic (I have an on-line novel that I write and put up on the net which has been continuiosly pointing the way for over the past year with personal life events and development)

Heh.....wanting to share info and learn more, I thought this would be a cool thread. My techs.....I use a divination stick, which could be made out of any stick. Just think really hard about what you want to get, such as an object or a path, and just let it...fall. Also, dice. I use a different method. I get three dice, all odd numbers are no, and all evens are yes. I roll all three, and if i get 267, its a yes. How long it is gonna take, or anything along those lines, can be found by averaging the evens if its a yes, or the odds if its a no. In the above case, it would be a 4, about halfway to 9, the highest, so it should happen in normal time. Drawing lots, thats a good way. Just pick out stones that have certain meanings. My last technique, is a pendulum. I hold it still by attaching it to another object, such as a horizontal twig, and see how it swings. One answer code could be counter clockwise and clockwise, left 2 right and up 2 down, stuff like that. Those are the only techs i know/use for just flat out, no extra power needed, divination.
