"What is Divination? How does it Work?" | Deborah Blake, Christopher Marmolejo, Jen Sankey

Text or VM the Show Hi Everybody, Granddaughter Crow Here. With yet another episode of Belief, Being, & BEYOND! On this show, we love bringing Great People to Great People. Week after week, Jenny C. Bell and I get to showcase Amazing Authors, Authentic Creators, and Dedicated Spiritualists and every once in a while we host a Roundtable Dialogue where we can sit down with these creators. And tonight, is a Roundtable Night. At our last Roundtable we explored the complex topic of AI or Artificial Intelligence vs the HI or Human Intelligence. How people in the Spiritual and Witchcraft community view AI” in 2026! It was a brilliant dialogue, and We did have an anonymous consensus on “Using AI as a Spiritual Advisor, is NOT the Best idea” So, that begs the question, “What are other options to connect with spirit?” Tonight, We are going to explore the topic of “Divination”! What is it and different tools… and see where the dialogue takes us. We have an expansive panel for you tonight… So let’s start the show! Divination looks mysterious from the outside, but the reality is much more human: it’s what we reach for when we need clarity, perspective, and a path forward. This Roundtable includes experienced readers, authors, and creators to unpack what divination, how it works, and the wander of it all. From tarot and oracle cards to runes, pendulums, charms, bones, moon phases, and pure intuitive hits, we compare tools and the real reasons they help people make sense of their lives. We also get practical about ritual and process. We talk about opening sacred space, setting ego aside, grounding before and after a session, and more. You’ll hear why asking better questions matters, how consent and dialogue can deepen a reading, and what to do when a card doesn’t make sense right away. If you’ve ever wondered whether you “have to” pull cards every day, or felt guilty when your practice ebbs and flows, we give you permission to build a divination practice that fits your body, your schedule, and your reality. Finally, we name the quiet truths that newer readers rarely hear: many pros won’t read for themselves when as they might be too close to the outcome. Self-doubt is often the biggest block. Divination is a kind of literacy and a practice of attention, one that gets stronger with time, play, experimentation, and trust. If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s curious about tarot and divination, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.
