Divination Tools are physical items that your advisor may utilize in order to receive information from the non-physical realm.  The energy does not originate from the tools, they are simply a physical item which allows the advisor to focus on, in order to receive the information.  Psychic advisors channel information from the past, present and that which has not manifested (the future.)  These tools can facilitate communication with energies (human or animal) who have crossed over. Below you will find a list of tool and methods commonly used by psychics:


Angel Cards:
Angel decks are one style of Oracle Cards.  These decks focus on direct messages and information from particular angelic energies.  Angel decks are typically feminine in energy and filled with uplifting and inspirational guidance.  These decks are typically not separated into suits or arcanas.  Many people used Angel decks by pulling one cards per day for Angelic communication, however, they can also be used for a full psychic reading.

Astrology:
Astrology is a system that maps the relative positions of celestial bodies at the time of a person’s birth and how these positions influence a person’s personality and life path.  The methodology of astrology is based on the premise that positions of the celestial bodies at the moment of a person’s birth exert a strong influence on character, personality and events occurring during the course of one’s lifetime.  Astrology can be used to understand the changing energy of the Universe and how the ebb and flow of the celestial bodies affect a person on a day to day basis.  This tool can be used for in depth understanding of other people and how to resolve conflicts.  

Crystals:
Crystals can be in the form of a crystal ball, multiple crystals thrown on a table or a crystal pendulum.  As the advisor focuses on the crystal, the psychic activates his or her channels of intuitive communication. Often, the advisor can receive detailed images of situations from the past, present, or future.  Many practitioners say that the clear energy of the crystal assists them in clearing their mind to receive information from the non-physical realm.

Dream Interpretation:
Dream interpretation analyzes the symbols and events appearing in dreams in order to clarify an issue, put the dreamer in touch with his or her inner self, discern repressed thoughts, diagnose possible illnesses, or foretell the future. The practice of dream interpretation dates back to ancient times in recorded history.  Perhaps the most well-known interpreter of dreams was the Hebrew patriarch Joseph.  Contrary to popular belief, only a small percentage of dreams are directly prophetic.  Most dreams are a clearing out of the subconscious in attempt to awaken the individual to stresses or concerns that need to be rectified.

I Ching:
The I Ching, also known as the book of changes, dates back to approximately 4000 years.  Originating in China, it is the oldest known book in the world and the earliest surviving method for intuitive decision-making.  The I Ching’s information, originally in book form, was accessed and interpreted by throwing yarrow sticks and later coins.  The book of changes focuses on the ideas of the dynamic balance of opposites, the evolution of events as a process, and acceptance of the inevitability of change.  More recently I Ching decks, similar to Oracle decks, have become a popular tool for divination in the West.

Numerology:
Numerology is any of many systems, traditions or beliefs in a mystical or esoteric relationship between numbers and physical objects or living things.  The methodology of numerology is based on the premise that the full name a person was given at birth, as well as the day, month, and year that person was born, exert a strong influence on character, personality and events occurring during the course of your lifetime.  The Pythagorean system invented around 600 BC, possibly by the father of mathematics, Pythagoras, is the most commonly used numerological system.  This system uses the numbers 1 through 9, derived from the full name given at birth, and concentrates on worldly matters.

Oracle Cards:
A deck of cards used for divination without relying on the traditional Major or Minor Arcana.  Many current spiritual authors have released oracle decks following along the teachings in their books.  These cards can be used similar to a Tarot deck to receive guidance and information.  Oracle decks often differ in the number of cards.  Common themes used in oracle card decks involve the power of positive thought and metaphysical beings such as spirit guides, angels, fairies, mermaids and unicorns.

Pendulums:
This tool is often used for Dowsing, the art of finding lost or hidden objects.  However, many psychic advisors use this along with their other divination tools to clarify and receive information from the non-physical realm.  Pendulums are also used in healing and Chakra clearing.  They are made from a variety of substances including, but not limited to crystals, gemstones, coral and polished stone.  For more information of how a pendulum is used, please see the crystals entry above.

Rune Stones:
Rune is an ancient Germanic alphabet dating from roughly 200 BC, believed to have been derived from the Roman or Greek alphabet.  The ancient Teutons secretly taught these letters and their meanings within the confines of their culture and religion. The very word "rune" means "mystery" in a number of Indo-European languages. In ancient times, when the runes were used for divination or spells, they were cut into the branches of fruit-bearing trees, and for this reason, even now, it is considered to hold the most divination power when written or carved on natural materials. Nowadays, rune oracles can be found with the symbols cut into crystals, stones or small pieces of wood.  There are also card decks featuring the runes.

Tarot Cards:
The Tarot deck is a collection of 78 images representing ancient and universal archetypes.   This collection is arranged in the form of a pack of cards and is used to gain insights into psychology and metaphysics, as well as specific information from a person‘s life and situation. There are a number of theories of the Tarot’s birth, but most scholars agree that its present form originated in the Middle Ages.  Rider-Waite, the original deck, was the only deck available up until the mid 1900’s.  With the interest of New Age spirituality becoming mainstream, there is now no shortage of styles of Tarot decks that can be found, ranging from simple and colorless to the very ornate, layered with much information.
