Glad you are here, @Gina Paredes

@Donna Conrad I've never done study in formal augury, to be clear. I just have a practice of tuning into the more-than-human world when I am out doing workings and feel I sometimes hear messages from my guides in the world around me when I am tuned in. This is primarily via the birds, tho I have experienced it in other creatures as well. With regards to osteomancy, I have followed the work of Lupa Greenwolf for some time and she introduced me to the concept of sacred remains.

@Ashley Jasper Styles Good questions. I experience cards to primarily provide a means to tap into my own intuition. I have had a few experiences where I communicated with my guides or other non-human entities, but that isn't common. I am interested in exploring ancestral connection through cards, though I haven't really begun exploring that yet. My experience with scrying and theiromancy feels to be coming much more from outside of myself in the form of guides and guardians, though I suppose it all depends on how you feel about nondualism. 😉

Thanks for sharing, @Ashley Jasper Styles ! I have heard of these, but never considered parsing them out like this. It definitely helps the explanation!

Based on what @Ashley Jasper Styles shared yesterday, I would say I weave elements of natural, sigil, folk, and some sympathetic practices together, though I wouldn't have thought characterized those as separate before yesterday. I'll admit, I'm intrigued by chaos magic and goetic work, but don't feel like I have the chops for those. Lol. Curious if anyone know anything about Quareia and Josephine McCarthy's work. I came across her oracle decks a few months back and working with them has piqued my interest. I have watched some YouTube conversations with her and she seems quite knowledgeable, well rounded, and grounded. Opinions online are a bit mixed from what I've seen, however.
