I've noticed a LOT of ads for apps lately - I've been approving because they ARE currently allowed, as products, but I'm noticing it getting a bit egregious, and more than once they've been reported for spam, services, irrelevant, etc.
What do y'all think?
I’ve been pouring a lot of love and intention into creating these cards, and it means everything to me to share them with people who feel aligned with mysticism, spirituality, and art.
My hope is that they find their way into the hands of others who resonate with this kind of energy people who see the magic in everyday life and connect through meaning, intuition, and creativity.
This work is really close to my heart, and it’s also part of how I’m building a sense of stability and abundance in my life. If this speaks to you, even in a small way, your support truly makes a difference whether that’s sharing, engaging, or simply being here.
Grateful for this space and for anyone who connects with what I’m creating ✨
Hi everyone,
I’ve recently published a minimalist I-Ching app and would love to get your thoughts.
I wanted to bridge the gap between traditional practice and modern convenience, focusing on two key features:
I’m striving for a clean, distraction-free experience that respects the wisdom of the Changes.
I would deeply appreciate any feedback or suggestions from this community on how to make the tool more useful for your practice. The app currently supports 50 languages. Since localization can be tricky with such nuanced spiritual texts, if you notice any translations that feel off or could be improved, please do let me know.
Thank you for your time and wisdom!
J’adore le tarot de Marseille et j’aimerai découvrir d’autres tarots.
Lequel préférez-vous ? Pourquoi ? Que vous apportent ils ?
Okay hear me out, but the hot sauce packets recently have had phrases on them. I've thought about this a couple times. It's honestly just like an edible oracle deck 😭
For context, I’ve been working on a small handheld device that generates symbolic pulls (tarot, runes, I Ching, and a few other systems). That part is just the surface.
What I recently added is something I’ve been thinking about more deeply.
During a pull, there is now a simple option to mark when it feels meaningful in the moment. Not after reflection. Right at the point where it lands and something in you registers it as significant.
Everything is already time-stamped and stored, so over time this creates a continuous record of:
• when symbolic randomness occurred
• when it was experienced as meaningful
• how often that happens, and in what patterns
The device itself is small enough to sit in your palm, with a calm e-ink screen, so it’s not something you “use” in a separate ritual space. It can stay with you through the day. In practice that means multiple pulls can happen across normal life, and multiple moments of meaning can be captured as they happen instead of being reconstructed later from memory.
I’m interested in what this does to the way we think about synchronicity in general.
Most of the time, synchronicity is remembered selectively. A few strong moments stand out, while everything else fades. That makes it hard to see whether these experiences cluster in time, or whether they shift with certain inner or outer conditions.
This kind of logging creates a different perspective. You start to see stretches of time where meaning seems to accumulate, and other periods where nothing gets marked at all. It raises questions about whether these phases are random, or whether they correspond to changes in attention, psychology, life context, or something else entirely.
Another angle that interests me is how different people might compare these patterns.
If multiple people are doing the same kind of practice, each with their own internal sense of what “counts” as meaningful, you end up with parallel timelines of subjective experience. It makes me wonder whether there are shared rhythms that show up across individuals, or whether everything is fully individual.
It also raises a more basic question. What are we actually tracking when we track synchronicity this way.
Is it a property of external events aligning with inner state.
Is it more about shifts in perception and attention.
Or something that sits in between those descriptions and doesn’t reduce cleanly to either.
I don’t think the data answers that on its own. It just gives structure to something that is usually only discussed through stories and memory.
I’d be really interested in how people here think about this kind of approach. Whether it feels meaningful at all, or whether it distorts the phenomenon by turning it into something measurable. Also curious if anyone has tried similar ways of keeping track of these experiences over time, even informally.
Would be cool to one day have many people voluntarily contribute their data regarding this and to analyze it and study it. Feels like something Jung would’ve loved.
This spread points to a moment of closure that is not an ending but a transition into a new cycle, where something you have been moving through is now crystallizing into understanding. “Who is Controlling the Frame?” suggests that part of this completion involves reclaiming authorship of your perception, noticing where subtle influences, habits, or external narratives have been shaping how you interpret reality. “Look Through Their Eyes” adds a layer of expansion, inviting you to briefly step outside your own viewpoint to gain clarity or compassion, not to lose yourself but to see the full structure more clearly. Together, the cards suggest that completion comes through both sovereignty and perspective, choosing your frame consciously while also being fluid enough to understand others, allowing you to move forward with a more integrated and self-directed awareness.
I’ve suffered from depression my whole life, bullying in my youth, teens, and even in adulthood has destroyed my peace.
I asked the cards if I’ll ever find happiness.
What I interpret this as a struggle and loneliness (the past), and I’m seeking justice now, and in the future I’ll blossom and bloom emotionally.
Do you think that’s a right interpretation?
Dear diviners,
Some of you expressed interest in one of my projects a few days ago, so here's a dedicated post about it.
Simply put, it's is a **free**, **open source** and **self-hosted** 10-in-1 text-based toolkit for occultists and diviners, which contains:
- Tarot Deck
- Runes Set
- I-Ching
- Coin Toss
- Dice Set
- Birth Chart
- Planetary Positions
- Moon Phases
- Numerology
- Sigil Consonant Extractor
It started last year as a way for me to learn Python through different projects, but it went better than expected, so I decided to combine them, polish it, and share it with the world. I also saw many posts about people not having access to divination tools due to economic factors or stigma, so rogue accessibility was a big motivation to get it out there.
[Here's](https://youtu.be/YLAEiyWM3zU?si=eN4fYk0LvNYgqGkZ) a demo if you want to check it out before using it.
The full code of the program is available for free on my [GitHub](https://github.com/PsykeonOfficial/virtual-esoteric-toolkit). It's under the GPLv3 license, so feel free to fork it and use it in your own projects, with attribution. Make sure to go through the README.md as there' a dependency to install.
I also have two tarot and runes web app journals on there (same license and guiding philosophy) so feel free to go crazy with it.
Enjoy!

I’ve been reading through different tarot communities and noticed many people say they connect better with certain decks than others, and that some decks seem to give them clearer or more accurate answers.
This made me wonder if each person might naturally resonate more with a specific deck.
In my case, I usually use the Rider-Waite deck, and I’ve noticed something interesting: when friends ask me questions about future events or outcomes, my readings often end up being surprisingly accurate.
However, when I try to read for myself — especially about personal matters or trying to anticipate a future event in my own life — I seem to miss much more often.
Because of this, I started wondering if maybe the issue is not tarot itself, but that I haven’t found the deck that truly connects with my energy.
I’ve been thinking about trying a different system, maybe something like the Thoth deck, to see if the connection feels stronger or the readings become clearer for personal questions.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
Do you feel that certain decks “speak” better to you than others?
Did changing decks improve the accuracy of your personal readings?
Could this be more about emotional bias when reading for oneself rather than the deck itself?
I’d really like to hear your experiences.
(this is a post I made years ago on a now dead sub.)
Magical oils became THE THING in the last several years, especially as essential oils became more and more popular. To be honest, I like the idea myself, but don't really care about the execution, which seems to prioritize pretty smells over magical or spiritual power. I mean, I look at some recipes out there, and it seems like the same 10 ingredients in various combinations. Not super impressed.
So I created my own. I use it for anointing the third eye for insight, applying to new bones, stones, and other divination tools. I often anoint my cards (Tarot, Lenormand, and others) too - but do it by running an oiled finger along the edge of the whole deck. If you anoint the faces of the card, they'll become oily and unpleasant to use. And sticky! But on the edges, you still get the influence, but without those negatives.
There is definitely something to be said for the pretty-smelling recipes, but I'm more interested in the practical magic and energetics of it. I've given my preferred recipe, but with lots of substitutions for each. I hope you can take my ideas and run with them to determine your own go-to recipe. You definitely should adapt to your own aesthetic and locale.
Graidan's Divination Oil
How to Make It:
Other possible ingredients:
This can become a powder (just the herbs, powdered) or a spray (some of this mature oil with a little alcohol and distilled water, in a spray bottle) or... the sky's the limit.
(Note that my own approach to herbs and crystals and such is very... different from the usual stuff. If you disagree with my understandings, feel free to replace! It's about what works for you, and your relationships with those beings, and not what me or anyone else says, after all.)
I would love to hear about your recipes for oils / powders / potions relevant to divination - please share!
Hey all,
I was wondering what is the best resource when trying to learn to throw the bones (Osteomancy)
I had a very vivid lucid dream of me using this method of divination (I also have a set of Saami specific cards and an obsidian water mirror that I have used in the past).
I would like to stay away from Core-Shamanism if possible (would like authentic sources where available)
So I’m looking for Osteomancy, or “throwing the bones” or “button reading” forms of divination.
Such as: do you throw on a cloth you made? Does it have symbols? Forms of interpretation/reading into the placements, and all that good stuff.
Miigwetch!
Hi! I’ve been a practitioner of Bazi (The Four Pillars of Destiny) in Hong Kong for many years. While many here focus on Tarot or Western Astrology, I wanted to share a glimpse into how we use the Five Elements to map out a person's life path in the East.
In our tradition, we don’t look at the stars in the sky, but rather the "Elemental Qi" present at the exact moment of birth. Everything is a balance of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.
One of the most common things people ask me in HK is about their "Wealth Element." But what many don't realize is that having a "Wealth Element" in your chart doesn't always mean you'll be rich—it’s about whether your "Day Master" (your core self) is strong enough to "handle" that wealth. It's like having a heavy treasure chest; if you aren't strong enough to lift it, the treasure stays on the ground.
I’m curious to learn from this community: How does your specific divination practice (Tarot, Runes, etc.) handle the concept of "Financial Timing" or "Prosperity"? I’d love to have a cross-cultural conversation.
I'll be launching my first Oracle Deck on May 1st, on the full flower moon. The artwork in this deck was created by me over the course of the last 10 or so years.

Hi everyone,
I’ve been working on a small personal project recently and wanted to share it with people who are interested in this space.
It’s a mobile app that combines:
BaZi chart generation
Qimen Dunjia chart
Hexagram (I Ching) generation
Instead of using fixed interpretations, I built a system where:
👉 the chart is first generated
👉 then processed through a set of internal parameters / structure
👉 and finally interpreted by AI
So the output is meant to be more context-based, rather than static text.
One thing I tried to do differently:
Most apps either:
give fixed category readings (wealth / relationship etc.)
or are purely random / template-based
In this app:
👉 you can input your own question
👉 and the system will generate a reading based on that specific query
It’s not a chatbot —
each session focuses on one question with a full analysis
Other details:
Free to use (no paywall for now)
Available in Chinese & English
Still in early testing stage
If anyone here is into BaZi / Qimen / I Ching,
I’d really appreciate any feedback on:
accuracy
logic of interpretation
user experience

Hello all, as some of you know I moderate r/horary and r/geomancy. I've been asked to give a talk as an introduction to Geomancy to a local Pagan group, and I'm starting off with mostly practical 'need to know' stuff to get people started, as opposed to heavy chunks of history and theory. The initial talk is liable to be about two hours to allow for questions during at at the end.
So far, I am including
Imagining yourself as an absolute beginner - someone who is aware that Geomancy exists in general and what it might be used for (primarily as a form of predictive divination), but has no idea to how to cast and do a basic interpretation of their first chart or would like a basic but thorough overview - what would you want to be included in that sort of talk, or any particular section?
Please feel free to suggest things that don't quite fit. The group is enthusiastic so I think would be open to further talks as well, and there have been requests already from one of the larger Metaphysical Societies in my country so there may be online versions later.
Also, if you're not familiar with Geomancy at all, please let me know what you'd feel would be 'barriers to entry' that the introduction to a talk could cover.
I have made a webside and miniprogram in WeChat called PBlossom. If you wanna know more about it. Click Github Project

( Oops! I forgot on Saturday, so here's my late catch up. Sorry! )
So, I drew 3 cards from my Oracula deck, and your mission, should you accept it, is to interpret these cards in multiple categories and contexts, providing as many alternate readings as you can think of. Think literally, symbolically, metaphorically. Good luck.

Meanings
Categories / Contexts
Here is a very practical way to combine Divination and AI. I conducted an experiment a few days ago.
I had AI ask a series of questions loosely based on my previous incarnation/pendulum work I've done. ChatGPT created 40 structured yes/no questions based on my inquiry. Knowing that this was an experiment, it planted a handful of "gotcha questions" to disprove the ability of the pendulum or detect ego driven patterns. It also divided the questions by topic. (1. Earth Incarnation Pattern, 2. Purpose of This Lifetime, 3. Type of Influence I'd have in this lifetime, 4. Transition After This Life, 5. Timing and Assignment)
I did not read the questions after they were generated to help eliminate bias. Before I began, I asked the pendulum if asking questions in this way would work. (Example: What is the answer to ChatGPT's question #23? Yes/no?) I received a "yes" that asking the questions in this way would work.
After going through the questions... (40 was a lot. I had to take a break after 20.)... I entered the answers to my questions into ChatGPT so it could analyze the responses. Overall, the pendulum responses formed a coherent narrative and were also consistent with statements I made to ChatGPT regarding this lifetime in the prompt. My yes/no answers were remarkably grounded and consistently avoided "I'm special", "advanced" or on "a major mission." It was really interesting to see the yes/no responses matched up with each question. After reading through them all I asked a handful of followup questions with the pendulum to clarify answers.
Using AI to ask insightful questions and analyze responses (pattern recognition) was a worthwhile venture. Honestly, I would not have come up with 40 questions on my own regarding this lifetime. That's the real payoff. The volume of questions helped to provide a very detailed overview of this lifetime. I will likely try this method again with other topics.
