A Simple Divination Spell for First Timers

This little spell is perfect if you’re just dipping your toes into the waters of divination. It doesn’t require fancy tools, just your intention, your breath, and something to divine with. A deck of tarot or oracle cards is ideal, but you could just as easily use a pendulum, a coin, or even open a book at random and let the first word your eyes land on be your answer.

You’ll need:

• A candle (white or black works beautifully for clarity)

• Your chosen divination tool (cards, pendulum, coin, book, etc.)

• A quiet space where you won’t be disturbed

The Spell:

1. Light your candle and take three slow breaths, feeling yourself centred and grounded.

2. Place your tool before you and say: “I open myself to the wisdom within and around me. May truth be revealed, clear and kind.”

3. Hold your question in your mind. If you’re unsure where to start, try something simple like, “What do I need to focus on today?”

4. Use your tool – draw a card, swing your pendulum, flip your coin, or open your book.

5. Trust the first impression that comes. Don’t overthink, just note the symbol, word, or image and allow your intuition to speak.

6. Close by saying: “I thank the guides and the signs, the seen and unseen. This spell is done, the message received.”

7. Extinguish your candle.

Tip for beginners: Keep a small journal to record your question and the answer you received. Over time, you’ll begin to see patterns, and your confidence in interpreting them will blossom.
