Seeing Beyond the Surface

Divination is a mysterious skill that allows you to see beyond the surface. The need to see into the future or be prepared for the unknown in our lives is a common theme. We all want to know what is coming and what to be prepared for. The art of divination is something that promises those that use it and practice it, a glimpse into the future to use for our own benefit.

Today, we’ll be talking about this mysterious art of divination and the crystals that help enhance the ability to see beyond the surface!

What is Divination?

Divination is the attempt to gain insight into a question or situation by way of a standardized process or ritual, often considered as magic. The word divination is derived from the Latin divinare that means “to foresee, to be inspired by god,” and is related to divinus or divine. It is used in various forms throughout history. Diviners find answers to their questions by reading signs, events, or omens brought to them by contact from supernatural or divine energy.

There is a distinction between divination and that of fortune-telling. Divination is a more formal or ritualistic way to find answers. It also has more social character and is seen usually in a religious context, seen in traditional African medicine. Fortune-telling is a more everyday practice for personal uses. Particular methods of divination vary by culture and religion.
