Divination (from Latin divinare, 'to foresee, to foretell, to predict, to prophesy', related to divinus, 'divine'), or "to be inspired by a god," is the attempt to gain insight into a question or situation.

Some different types of divination are:

Palmistry: The practice of interpreting someone's character or future through the line of there palm or the color and shape of there hand

Aeromancy: using the weather and cosmological occurrences to predict the future and gain insight on something

Cartomancy: using cards, such as tarot, oracle, lenormand, or regular playing cards, to answer questions and gain insight (this is my favorite form of divination)

Somatomancy: Body divination 

Scrying: Scrying is basically seeing or peeping into a suitable medium the hopes of detecting a significant message or vision. Some common scrying tools are black mirrors, water or oil, flames or smoke, tasseomancy, etc. I'm planning on making a chapter on just scrying and i might make future chapters on how to use different tools for scrying, such as watercolors or the stars

IDK the official name for this, but casting: so things like rune casting (I love runes), bone throwing, charm casting (my runes are in my charm casting set. i also love charm casting), stone throwing, etc

There are far more different forms of divination, but these are just the most common 

If there is any other form of divination you want to see in more depth and an explanation on how to please let me know. There are some things like Aeromancy and somatomancy that i dodn't know much about but if you ask for it i'll try my best to give it to you.
