Divination

‘Interpreting mystical symbols is an art form, and all art is an expression of the individual. Just as all painters have access to the same colors of paint, yet they don’t all pain the same picture, so it is with oracular interpretation. The mood, attitude, and general state of mind of the interpreter can, and should, affect the nature and character of the layout and the meanings derived from it.'

--M. A. Madigan & P. M. Richards, Symbols of the Craft

'The magickal art of discovering the unknown by interpreting random patterns or symbols through the use of tools such as clouds, tarot cards, flames, smoke, tea leaves, scrying, etc...Divination contacts the psychic, or ritual mindset, or subconscious (depending) by drowsing the conscious mind through ritual and observation or of manipulation of tools and interpreting the outcome.'
