What is divination?

Divination is when people try to figure out what will happen next by looking at signs or patterns.

Imagine you're playing a game where you shake a box full of colorful marbles and then look at which ones pop out, that’s kind of like divination! People use different things, like the way flames flicker in a fire, the shapes of clouds, or even the way a coin lands when it's flipped. These are all signs they believe can help them guess what might happen later.

Divination is like asking the world for clues about the future. If you're trying to decide whether to bring an umbrella before going out, you might look at the sky, if it’s gray and cloudy, that could be a sign it might rain soon! People who use divination often do this in more creative ways, using things like tarot cards or special stones.

Some people find it fun to think about what might happen next. Others use it when they're trying to make big decisions, like whether to move to a new city or start a new project. It's just another way of looking for clues in the world around them!
