Most witches, including myself, check their favorite
divination tool before performing a spell or any type of magick just to
make sure that they have made the best "spiritual choice" for the situation.
I personally use Runes, and the way i get my yes or no answer, is just
to draw one stone. If the stone is right side up the answer is yes, if
it is reversed the answer is no.. and if it is a Rune that does not have
a reversed position... draw again.
Silver RavenWolf suggests in Teen Witch, using
two stones about the same size... one black, one white... black is no,
white is yes... I also know people who use the Tarot similar to how
i use my Runes, and in other ways i don't understand and therefor don't
think i could explain it to you people. But no matter what you do the following (again taken
from Teen Witch) is a good little something to say before you draw
your stone, card, or whatever you use:
"Spirit of Knowledge Guide my hand to the correct
answer. Should i do the working of (what
you plan on doing) or not?"
There now, that was simple... if
the answer is no, you really shouldn't go on, you may want to find another
way to handle the issue, and try again... if the answer is yes then you
can go about your business. =)
