The Samhain Divination Book

Ask better questions at Samhain, then use what is already in the house to get an answer. The Samhain Divination Book gives you 36 practical readings for the darkening year using tarot or oracle cards if you own them, ordinary playing cards if you do not, plus coins, dice, dominoes, buttons, thread, books, dreams, shadows, clocks, and household sounds. Methods range from a one-card check and yes-or-no coin work to dream questions, bibliomancy, household lots, November forecasts, and a twelve-card look through the dark half of the year. Mabel Tern keeps the work small enough for a kitchen table, bedside notebook, rented room, or shared home. The book includes ways to sharpen a question, stop before asking the same thing over and over, record symbols without building a giant dictionary, adapt methods for low energy or little privacy, and close the work when the answer is enough. Historical notes place Samhain and Halloween fortune-telling in context without presenting the book's original contemporary workings as ancient customs. For readers looking for Samhain divination, Halloween fortune telling, simple divination methods, playing-card readings, dream work, and seasonal witchcraft, this is a practical companion built from ordinary objects and clear procedures.
