I'm pretty sure the first time I heard the word divination and actually paid attention was in Harry Potter — complete with shawls, beads, crystal balls and some very dramatic predictions.

But what is divination really? And is it all that different from intuition... or even being psychic?

In this episode, we're exploring the many ways people have used tools to seek guidance — from tarot and oracle cards to pendulums, runes, charms, bones, candle wax and more.

We'll talk about why these tools can be especially helpful when you're learning to trust your intuition, why two people can look at the same card and notice completely different things, and why using a tool doesn't necessarily mean the tool itself is giving you the answer.

Maybe it's giving your intuitive mind something to interact with.

We'll also explore why the word psychic can feel so uncomfortable, the difference — or perhaps the blurry line — between intuition, psychic ability and divination, and one question worth considering:

Are the cards talking to us, or are they giving us permission to listen?
