A personal issue, I hate divination not because I don't believe it to work, but that I've found it works very well. I hate having a fate, a story I can't avoid it drives me insane really. Being stuck on these rails that I can see. The divination style I used at the time was cubomancy, it told me my tomorrow would be horrible, and on the tomorrow my father meet a horrible fate. I don't feel responsible for it, but I felt helpless, I wasn't in control of my destiny. I promised my self to never engage in any form of divination after that, and I do try , besides the intrusive dream of the future which I always try to forget. I like feeling free, fortune telling never lets me feel free.

What is your opinion on divination, is it nice? Do you like being able to see your future? Do you think seeing it lets you change it?

I have no problem with the divination.

Why don't you use it instead of reading the future to find out what to do to reach goals you want to achieve? Because what you write seems like you got yourself into victim or puppet of fate position, which of course doesn't feel right. So change that. Don't use it to see how the world plays with you but rather to how you can play the game for getting your own advantage.

It sounds like divination hates you too.

As an adult, divination is an incredibly valuable tool to help you come to a firm decision on the forking pathways of life and to gain clarity on things that were once murky. From the way you express your thoughts and opinions, it's clear that you aren't free, your opinions and feelings rule you more cruelly, more rigidly, than fate ever could.

My opinion is that any 'divination' for a period greater than two weeks in the future risks being enchantment. Thus, seeing it can actually affect it. I don't normally do divination, mostly because of this.

I highly agree with this. Seeing future things activily changes brain activity and the how a person looks to the world. I don't want future events on my steering wheel.

My more formal esoteric training is in remote viewing, which if you spend years doing it reveals that everything is probabilistic, on a large and small scale. You're likely to do some pattern of things, unless you or something external changes the odds. So if Sportball Team 1 is playing Sportball Team 2 and 1 is likely to win and then an unlikely series of events leads to their star player getting a DUI the night before the game and they end up losing, remote viewing (which is just a post-modern divination protocol) would say Team 1 will win up until the arrest and then you have to do the sessions all over again and view the new scenario. Divining the outcome once 6 months ago is not going to be any better than a coin flip.

As someone once said, "Always in motion, the future is."

I don't really use divination to look into the future personally, especially for myself. I already have bad anxiety and am aware of my triggers. However, I definitely use divination to ask how I should navigate a specific situation AND to be nosey, peering into other folk's business I shouldn't be in for entertainment reasons. It's like jerry springer for me and my coven but with tarot cards, pendulums and wine. My pendulum board who I named Amethyst spills ALL the tea.🫖

Who said divination is chiseled in stone?
Dear practitioners, it is not.
It is most probable outcome based on the projection of the current direction and the momentum of the current energy? Yes!
It is set in stone? Hell no!
Divination "reads" the most probable outcome. Nobody, but nobody actually reads the future. And not even future is set on stone so to speak.
Why? Because there are a number of certain probabilities based on a current situation but also there's potential for offshoots which can be defined by the fact that you "know" a possible outcome and with that specific knowledge in your specific awareness new timelines can be generated.

You hear the sound of an ice-cream truck two streets away. Two most probable realities can be "predicted" .
The truck can take the street you are on or move along to another street in an opposite direction.
Divination - you hear the sound of the ice-cream truck and you move towards it.
Again you can catch the it or you could chase it on the next street, but now, probabilities of savoring the ice-cream go up.
The wild card (not set in stone):
  • The truck hits a trash bin and it stops half street where you hoped to cache it.
  • The truck has flat tire, again not where you hoped to cache it.
  • Driver is a pedo...again, story changes...
-- so so many factors which can influence the outcome which divination "predicts" --

I don't say that divination is faulty, but it is given way to much credit and people confuse divination with "reading the future"...
There's another thing to be mentioned... sometimes if the divination manifests a specific "happening" a specific outcome, the one who strongly believe in that outcome will align themselves in terms of unconscious or conscious actions to reach that outcome.
Be it a fearful one or a more proffered "prediction".
Not a fan of conspiracies but in a sense "the devil" needs to show and tell you the truth so you can create the reality for it.
"Bill Gates: We have to reduce humanity because we are to many on this planet!"
"Some: Nah, he just playing, he doesn't, he can't, he wouldn't..."
"Bill Gates: We developed a v@ccine... bla bla bla to reduce ... bl bla bal"
"Some: Nah, he just say dumb stuff...."
Some outcomes are injected into collective consciousness like a joke, like Simpsons and when it happens, the collective already has a familiarity attached to the happening and doesn't oppose.

But of course, I could simply blable around, yet feel free to explore various perspectives, you don't know which one can simply bury the stone in which destiny is chiseled. :)

ask how I should navigate a specific situation
That's how I do too. "What will be the effect if I do X to reach Y" then "What if I do Z to reach Y?", "Okay but what if I do it on a Monday?" etc until I get the answer that I can get behind the most.
