Runes, Tarots and divination

Since when I was a child I always loved magic, like the most of children, but this passion grew up with me and at 19 years old I started to study something more about occultism.

I started with Runes. I remember that my sister had a teared page of a journal where there was a nice description of Runes. I was really attracted from those small rocks where were engraved old northern symbols that could give us useful suggestion on how we
could conduct our life.

Runes don't forecast our future. They can only describe how could be our future life basing on our present actions. When I read this on a forum I decided to create my personal Runes. I found all I needed to learn and I created my Runes with small stones and I felt a nice connection with them.

Two years later, when I started to learn more about occultism I understood that I have more connection with wood Runes than the stone ones. So, I created a new set of Runes made by wood and now they are perfect for me.

Recently I started to study also tarots. I have a box full of different tarots. Tarots from India, Italy, China, Nature, Animals...a lot of types. My favourite was I-Ching, a chinese type of tarots. Some monthes ago I was searching for some colors for body painting and I entered in a jagglering shop and I saw a nice set of Sprites's tarots. I was affected from their illustrations that reminded me an old book of fairy tails that my mother used to read when I was child. I bought them and I started to study hard for use them correctly.

Untill now I used my tarots only once, for get acquainted with them and I felt very well using them. Tarots, differently from Runes, forecast our future, basing from our present. If we or something/someone else change our present, tarots change their forecast.

Divination is something that give peace to me. When I practice divination I feel relaxed, like when I read a good book or when I wach a nice movie. When I divine I usually light a shented candle, with a soft fragrance, and I light also an incense. My favourite incense fragrances are "Lotus" and "Opium" (which were given to me from my sweet boyfriend).
