Common Divination Tools Used in Psychic Readings

Divination tools have been unlocking hidden truths and providing profound insights for centuries.

Our social media has recently been buzzing with comments on our “How Psychic Readings Work” post. Many of you asked us to dive deeper into another topic:

What Items Do Psychics Use During Their Sessions?

While some psychic readers rely only on their extrasensory perception, others use special items such as spirit boards, tarot decks, crystals, and symbols. These serve as channels to the divine and help psychics connect with the spiritual world, receive messages, and provide guidance or protection against negative energies.

What is a Divination Tool?

A divination tool is any object or method used to gain knowledge or predict future events. These tools are used as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms and can amplify a psychic’s natural talents, making readings clearer and more precise.

Historically, ancient civilizations used five divination methods. Some cultures practiced hepatoscopy, examining animal livers for signs. Others used astragalomancy, casting small bones or dice, while some relied on tasseography, reading tea leaves.

Modern divination tools, however, are quite different.

In this article, we’ll focus on the most common instruments used in remote psychic readings. These tools are more accessible and often resonate better with contemporary seekers of spiritual guidance.

5 Divination Tools Used by Gifted Psychics

While astrologers gaze at the stars and numerologists crunch numbers, some psychics rely on tangible tools to enhance their readings. These objects act as conduits, helping us channel energy and discover hidden insights.

Let’s explore five popular divination tools used by our gifted psychics:

Tarot Cards

Tarot cards have captivated seekers for centuries. This 78-card deck originated in 15th-century Italy as a card game, but quickly evolved into a powerful divination tool. Each card carries rich symbolism and meaning, allowing psychics to weave intricate stories.

We use tarot cards for a wide range of readings.

They’re particularly effective for love and relationships, offering insights into romantic prospects, compatibility, and potential challenges. Career seekers find tarot invaluable for exploring job opportunities and financial decisions. The cards also excel at general life path readings, helping people understand their current situation and potential future outcomes.

Tarot’s versatility is its strength. Whether you’re facing a specific dilemma or seeking broad guidance, these cards can provide clarity. Our psychics might use traditional spreads like the Celtic Cross or create custom layouts tailored to your unique questions.

The key is interpreting the cards’ symbolism in the context of your life…a skill our gifted readers have honed through years of practice.

Crystals

Crystals have been revered for their mystical properties since ancient times. Believed to harness and amplify energy, they’re very useful in psychic readings. Each crystal has its own vibration and properties, allowing our readers to tap into specific energies during a session.

» Clear quartz is often employed as an all-purpose amplifier

» Amethyst can aid in spiritual readings and intuitive insights

» Rose quartz is particularly useful for love and relationship readings

» Citrine is favored for questions about prosperity and career

Our psychics might use crystals in several ways during a reading. They may hold a crystal while channeling information or create a crystal grid to focus energy.

Some readers use crystal pendulums for yes/no questions or to locate lost objects.

The versatility of crystals makes them a popular divination tool for connecting with higher wisdom.

Candles

Candles have illuminated spiritual practices for millennia and remain vital in modern psychic readings.

Different colors are associated with specific energies or intentions, allowing our psychics to tailor the reading environment to your needs.

You might have heard about scrying, which involves gazing into a candle flame to receive visions or messages.

The way a candle burns can also provide answers…flickering flames, melting patterns, and even the smoke carry meaning to a trained eye.

Candles are particularly useful in readings focused on manifestation, spiritual cleansing, or connecting with the other side.

White candles are often used for general clarity and protection, while pink might be chosen for love readings. Purple candles enhance spiritual connections, and green is favored for abundance and career questions.

Runes

Runes are an ancient divination system with roots in Nordic and Germanic traditions. These small stones or tiles, each inscribed with a symbol from the runic alphabet, carry deep mystical significance. The word “rune” itself means “secret” or “mystery,” hinting at the profound wisdom they can reveal.

In psychic readings, runes are often used to answer life’s big questions.

Based on our practice, they’re very effective for exploring personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and understanding one’s life path.

A typical rune reading involves drawing one or more runes from a bag and interpreting their meanings in relation to your question. Some psychics might cast the runes, reading them based on how they fall.

The beauty of runes lies in their simplicity and depth – a single rune can convey a wealth of information to a skilled interpreter.

While less flashy than some other tools, runes can cut straight to the heart of a matter, improving the accuracy of psychic readings.

Pendulums

Consisting of a weight suspended from a chain or string, pendulums respond to subtle energy movements, allowing psychics to access unknown information from the subconscious or spiritual realms.

A pendulum can be employed in chakra readings to identify blockages or imbalances. Some psychics use pendulums in combination with charts or maps for more detailed answers.

In a reading, the pendulum’s swing direction typically indicates a positive or negative response.

However, interpretation can be more nuanced, considering factors like the strength of the swing or any unusual movements, which is why we don’t use them as often.

Our Final Words

Whether it’s the rich symbolism of tarot cards or the energetic vibrations of crystals, divination tools help some psychics connect with spirits or uncover secrets.

But remember, the tool is just that – a tool.

The real magic lies in the connection between you, the psychic, and the universal energies.
