Episode 122 – Divining the New Year

Summary:

We launch our eighth year of podcasting with an episode that looks forward to the coming months through divination. Lots and lots of divination! Laine and Cory try out several different divinatory methods (some they’ve used before, and some they haven’t), then break down what they see in the cards, beans, bones, or stones for the year ahead. Plus we do our Magical Object, which seems like child’s play but also has plenty of magical uses, too!.

Both of us use Cory’s method of cartomancy for one of our readings. You can find out more about that in his book, 54 Devils, or by reading these posts from our past:

Laine also uses the following methods/tools:

• The Javamancy Board by Chas Bogan of Carnivalia/The Mystic Dream
• The Rabbit Tarot, by Nakisha Elsje Vanderhoeven

 

Cory also uses the following methods/tools:

• Rune Stones given to him as a gift, read using some of the information in Diana Paxton’s Taking Up the Runes
• The Haindl Tarot pack, by Hermann Haindl (Rachel Pollack’s books are the top recommended interpretation guides)
• His personal “bones” collection for bone readings. He uses elements of the technique in cat yronwode’s Throwing the Bones, as well as drawing on his experience. Some photos are below:
