Divination Deep Dive: Which Method Fits You Best

If you're looking to get into divination but don't know if you should go for tarot, pendulum, or scrying then welcome to the club. The vibes are high, the answers are cryptic and your intuition is the most important thing.

Whether you're here for clarity, gaining tea on your enemies or just trying to get some closure, there's a divination method for every single one of you. HOWEVER, if I got into every single one this blog would never end so let's dive into the major ones and find out which tool matches your magic.

🌙 1. Tarot — For the Storytelling Witch

You love: drama, layers, archetypes, symbolism, visuals, journaling.

Tarot is your (overly) honest bestie who also happens to be great at English. It reveals your inner narrative and show you not just what's happening but also why it's happening. Each card is a mini movie with lots of symbolism and emotional nuance

💡 Best for: shadow work, personal growth, “What’s next?” questions.

🧿 Try this if you: always read between the lines, journal your feelings, or want a spiritual therapist in deck form.

💍 2. Pendulum Dowsing — For the Quick-Answer Witch

You love: yes/no clarity, simple tools, direct answers, energy reading.

If you want no-bullshit straightforward guidance or confirmation on a decision, grab your pendulum. It's like texting your spirit guides or deities for a quickie reply. All you have to do is hold the pendulum steadily, ask a yes/no question and let the swinging do the talking

💡 Best for: quick decisions, energetic scanning, spirit communication.

🧿 Try this if you: are impatient, like binary answers, or already sensitive to energy shifts.

🌊 3. Scrying (Water, Mirror, Smoke) — For the Psychic Witch

You love: symbols, intuition, visuals, trances, channeling.

Scrying is like dreaming while you're awake. All you have to do is gaze into a reflective surface (like water, a mirror, fire, smoke or black obsidian) until symbols, visions or feelings arise. It's not about logic. It's about energetic reception

💡 Best for: future glimpses, spirit communication, prophecy.

🧿 Try this if you: have vivid dreams, love staring into the void, or want to deepen your clairvoyance.

🦴 4. Runes — For the Ancient-Soul Witch

You love: tradition, mythology, tactile tools, blunt answers.

Runes are Norse symbols and do they pack a punch or WHAT. They don't sugarcoat truths (unlike your friends) and speak in sharp acrchetypal language. You can dry one for insight or cast a few to interpret a situation. It's a mix of fate, magic and chaos

💡 Best for: ancestral work, fate questions, breaking through fog.

🧿 Try this if you: feel drawn to Viking/folk traditions or like tough love from the cosmos.

🕯️ 5. Candle Wax Readings (Ceromancy) — For the Sensory Witch

You love: visuals, texture, fire magic, messages in patterns.

Ceromancy is a form of fortune-telling through melted wax. You can either read it after the candle has finished burning and the wax has set or you can drip wax into water and read the shapes that form. It's kind of like those pictures where they ask you if you see a woman or a tree. Except your third eye answers what it sees instead of you. 

💡 Best for: spell outcomes, timelines, spirit messages.

🧿 Try this if you: already do candle magic, love fire + water, or want a more sensory form of divination.

🐚 6. Charm Casting / Bones / Trinkets — For the Chaotic Intuitive Witch

You love: randomness, storytelling, ancestral links, hands-on tools.

Charm casting is a form of divination that uses charms, trinkets, bones or small objects. The charms are thrown on a surface and where/how they land is interpreted to receive intuitive messages. Charm casting forces you to connect with your intuitive to offer you insight and guidance

💡 Best for: spirit work, layered stories, intuitive interpretation.

🧿 Try this if you: collect shiny objects, vibe with chaos, or like to blend aesthetics and meaning.

🌬️ 7. Oracle Cards — For the Soft-Hearted Witch

You love: affirmations, emotions, art, fluid messages.

Oracle cards are tarot's chill half-sister. It has less structure but more vibes. Each deck is different and are often entered around a theme. If you've seen our TikTok Pick-A-Piles, you would recognise our Vampire oracle deck and Alice in Wonderland oracle deck. They're perfect for checking in with your energy gently. But now there's also decks that are a bit "meaner" and straight-forward.

💡 Best for: emotional support, energy check-ins, daily pulls.

🧿 Try this if you: want flexibility or are still learning to trust your intuition.

✨ Final Tip: Your Magick Is the Method

You don't have to pick just ONE. You can flirt with all of them and honestly, your intuition might shift seasonally and so you may be pulled to different forms of divination at different times.

The best divination method for you is the one that helps you connect best to the Universe <3
