ATTEMPTING DIVINATION

Many people have asked me the proper way to attempt divination on their own. The answer is, there are no hard and fast rules for gaining psychic insight into questions. There are, however, are a few things to take into consideration.

YOUR BODY IS A VEHICLE

While you may see yourself as a spirit in the material world, remember that your body is the vehicle of your spirit while you’re here. Whether you read Tarot cards, channel or swing a pendulum, your physical and emotional state can affect the clarity of your answers, as well as your receptivity to them. Try not to ask questions when you’re over-tired, mentally foggy, sick, stressed or worried about the answer. A tired body is a tired channel. There’s a reason Edgar Cayce was called the “Sleeping Prophet.” His information came through best when he was relaxed and asleep.

The best time to ask a question is when you feel energized but calm, when your mind is tranquil and you have no great emotional weight riding on the outcome of the question. Get into as relaxed a state as possible. (Any number of meditation tapes can help you achieve a level of calm.) When you’re ready, concentrate solely on the question. Simply ask and be open to whatever comes back in answer. If it’s a feeling, remember it. If it’s an image or a word, even better. If you’re relaxed but still not getting an answer, leave it for another day. Sometimes the answers just aren’t to be found. Sometimes you need to experiment and find the method of divination that works best for you. And sometimes you aren't allowed to know things, for whatever reason.

WHAT MOON WORKS BEST FOR YOU?

You might also check the Internet for information about moon power. Full moons, plus or minus two days, are considered best for divinations. There might be one particular Moon sign that works best for you—e.g. when the Moon is in the same sign as your Sun or your Ascendant. Or it might be when it’s in your own Moon sign. The astrological sign opposite any of these would likely be a more difficult moon for you.

Also, try to avoid divining during Mercury Retrograde--you're just asking for trouble then. If you don't know when these things occur, buy an astrological calendar or look up the information on the Internet.

IS IT THE RIGHT DAY?

The days of the week are ruled by specific planetary qualities, as are the hours of each day. Monday (‘Moon’ Day) is ruled by the moon, which just happens to rule divination. Find out which hour on any given Monday the moon is prominent and try your luck then. If it's a full moon in your sign, all the better! Don’t let yourself be limited by this, however. Each day of the week is associated with a particular “planet.” Sunday is ruled by—guess what? The Sun, of course! The Sun also rules such qualities as pride, dramatics and leadership.

If your question concerns travel, it might be best to ask on a Wednesday (from the Norse god “Woden,” better known as Mercury, planet of short term travel, business and communication.) Wednesday is the day when Mercury is most prominent. Have an Arts question? Try a Friday in the hour ruled by Venus. Venus also rules affection, so you can try your love questions then, too.

If you don’t have a book to show you this, find a Sunrise-Sunset table on the Internet (e.g. www.sunrisesunset.com.) Note the exact hour and minute of the Sunrise and Sunset for your area on the day you wish to attempt a divination. Then go to a site that calculates planetary hours (e.g. http://www.iamawitch.com/staticpages/index.php?page=20040804025853992 -- and don't be put off by the title.) When you insert the proper Sunrise-Sunset times, it will divide the day into the correct planetary hours.

WHEN WILL IT WORK?

Don’t be disappointed if the answer isn’t instant. We may live in an era of instant gratification, but the rest of the universe doesn’t. When you put a question "out there" the answer may choose it's own time and place to appear. Often it will arrive the next morning when you wake and find you’ve been dreaming about it. Or it may come while you’re walking down the street with nothing else on your mind. Just be open for it. Sometimes you’ll find the answer came too late to help, but you'll probably see that you learned something by not having had the answer when you wanted it. Sometimes we just have to go through things. I learn that all the time.

Consider this: Prayer is when we ask a question and Meditation is when we open ourselves up for the answer. That's an Edgar Cayce definition, but I find it resonates well with many people. Try it and see what comes to you. It may be a lesson, it may be a moment of pleasure, or it may be the answer to the question you’ve been wondering about all your life.

ONE FINAL TIP

I find that intuition comes faster and more freely when I listen to it. If you start taking the advice of your Higher Self (which will never be destructive or negative in intent), it will become a more willing visitor than if you ignore it. It’s there to help you, so put it to work.
