The other day I gave an Oracle Reading that was very illuminating of the expansive nature of the art of divination. I touched on this in my first book (The Playing Card Oracles) in the sub-chapter called The Reflective World (p.181). To quote myself, "We are electric, magnetic, and dynamic beings, and we attract as well as affect our surroundings... The cards are just one part of what I am paying attention to (in a reading)."
In the particular session I am referring to, we came to a point in the reading when the client asked about her Spirit Helpers. As she was verbalizing the question to me (it was a telephone reading) I saw a shadow pass by the window of my house through the curtains. My two dogs started barking. They saw it too. Continuing with the reading, I fanned the Playing Card Oracle deck in front of me, face down, and drew three cards - they all turned up Court Cards (representing people or personalities), a very slim probability. Three Spirit Helpers.
Well the dogs quit barking and there was never any trace of anyone coming past my house - no knock at the door, nothing left outside. Just a confirmation of a spirit for the reading.
When I am doing a reading, I am in a state of receiving information and guidance. This is not limited to the cards on the table. I believe that nothing is random. If I did not embody a firm conviction of this then all kinds of doubt could enter in each time I lay out the cards.
Divination is the sacred art of connecting to all things and receiving that wisdom on behalf of another. I am honored to be a part of that tradition.

Good post on divination and synchronicity. You might enjoy our blog on synchronicity. Hope you'll drop by and if you have a synchronicity you would like to share, we would be delighted to post it.
It's really an amazing thing. Although i began dealing with divination when i was 13 (9 years ago), only recently i allowed myself to "open" enough to receive messages from other places besides the cards and their companion books. And my readings have improved a lot. I see the cards and, suddenly, before i even began to read them in-depth, images come to my mind... or i see something in the room... or i listen to a music... that somehow adds to the message.
I never saw shadows but, truthfully, i'd be very scared of them anyway. I'm afraid of ghosts! :P
