The Divination Handbook is a modern seer's guide to developing your intuitive abilities and mastering time-honored techniques used for fortune-telling and prediction.
With this guide, you'll learn how to use tarot, crystals, palmistry, and more to part the veils between the realms. Learn to understand the deeper meaning of ordinary events—and reveal what your future may hold.
Lavishly illustrated, The Divination Handbook presents to you over a dozen oracles of the ancients, from palm-reading and tea leaves, to fortune-telling with cards, runes, and crystals.
Step-by-step illustrations guide you through the methods, and helpful tables and reference chartsshow you how to understand and decipher common psychic symbols. Learn the stories and meanings in everyday objects—such as patterns of tea leaves and coffee grounds in a cup—or delve deeper into esoteric traditions like the tarot.
With The Divination Handbook, you'll never be at a loss for answers and guidance to your most pressing questions. My Thoughts The Divination Handbook is a beginner's guide to a variety of different divination tools. It covers a wide range of topics including crystals, tarot cards, runes, tea, palmistry, and numerology. Each section gives you just enough information to do a complete and detailed reading. It touched on all the major points that you'll need. For example, the book gives you a brief description of what each rune and tarot card mean, as well as multiple spread options. For the palmistry, there are detailed graphs showing you how to read the different lines of the palm. This is one area of divination I haven't tried yet, and I loved how easy the directions were to follow. This is an amazing book. I have other books that cover most of these topics, but it's nice to have one reference guide that covers everything. I also liked how they are so easy to follow. This is a great starter book or my teen daughter, who is just beginning to delve into divination. I personally have over a decade of experience, but still found the book a useful quick reference guide for old favorites, and a great way to delve into a few new practices as well. This is one book that will have a permanent place on my coffee table.

About the author:
I grew up on a hill in the north of England. From a young age, I wanted to live in London. As a child, during the depths of night, I'd often listen to the hum of passing trains. Sometimes I'd run to my bedroom window hoping to catch a glimpse so that I could pretend that I too was travelling on one, speeding along, London bound, like the rest of the world was sleeping.
So one day in my late teens, I bought a one-way ticket and travelled to London with just £30.00 in my pocket and a bit of blind faith.
In my novel The Last Days of Lisa, (that I’m still writing), the main character Lisa mirrors how overwhelming it was for me to see London for the first time through the eyes of a teenager travelling alone….
‘London never rests, she thinks. It’s on speed. A vortex, absorbing everything. Running from its own stench but also basking in it. Seemingly superficial and plastic to those not enchanted by its ambivalent charms. London has a soul; a ravenous appetite that feeds on the egos of the thousands that flock here each day to get closer to their dreams. ‘
Not long after moving to London, yoga and writing graced my life. I think they both saved me. On the writing front the spark came after reading the book, Catcher in the Rye. I’d not had the opportunity to study much as a child but that didn’t matter now as this book blew me away.
“If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of c—p, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.” J.D Salinger
As for yoga, another book in the form of a second-hand yoga book written back in the 1960’s made its way into my mitts via a second-hand bookstore.
As I’d said earlier, to start with I wasn’t very good at either. Dyslexia and lack of flexibility and poor posture were my obstacles. I could see beyond that though as both yoga and writing offered me hope and possibilities that before this I hadn’t ever thought possible. Before yoga and writing I believed I was useless and had nothing to offer the world.
So I worked hard at studying for more than a decade. The author John Harding was the first teacher to believe in me. After studying writing under his inspiring tuition, I even managed to get a few novels published along the way.
On the yoga side, I studied both Hatha and later Kundalini yoga and despite not being naturally flexible nor a person who liked to sit still. It was in India back in 2004 that I had my first awakening experience.
During all this time, I also managed over the years to work my way up from an office junior job to a finally a supervisor position, having worked for most of my life in a string of unfulfilling office jobs. The good news that in October 2015 I left office work to become The Word Sprite full time!
The silver lining in all of this is through my personal experience of having to be creative with my time I came up with the concept of yoga and holistic solutions for modern day living. Hence, this is how The Word Sprite was born!

Divination is an ancient practice that has been incorporated into many different
spiritual paths for generations. There are many forms of divination including tarot cards, pendulums, scrying bowls, palms reading and tea
leaves--and that is only a few methods. When most people think of
divination, they normally think of getting hints of the future, but
actually there are many things you can discover through a reading. You
can see your past lives, meet your spirit guides, discover your animal
totem, speak to those who have crossed over and so much more. The
possibilities are really limitless.
I believe we all have the capabilities to divine. I personally love to
draw a tarot card every day to get an idea of what the day will bring. I
have even done a few readings for friends. But there are some people who are
especially gifted in these magical arts. Amber from Readings by the Light is one of those people. Whether you want to
know which of your Chakras may need a little tuning up or whether your
love life is on the right track, Readings by the Light can give you the answers
you seek. Amber currently offers eighteen different readings with more listings to come. Take a peek at her store and get a glimpse into your future in the process.

There's nothing better than a calming soak in the tub with bath salts, especially if those salts come from Soulilume. Each blend of Soulilume bath salts are made with only all-natural materials including Organic Essential Oils,
Organic Herbs, Organic Flowers, Organic/Wild Seaween and Himalayan Salt. But there is something extra in this product that you aren't going to find in any store bought items. Every batch of Soulilume is infused with the healing energies of Reiki.
If you aren't familiar with Reiki, it's a natural form of energy healing. Every ingredient in these bath salt blends has its own unique healing property.
Reiki is a positive form of energy that is channeled from the designer into the
salts to help clear blocks on the physical, emotional, mental and
spiritual levels and balance the chakras. This series of salts offers the blessings
of Love, Happiness, Prosperity and Serenity.
I received a jar of the Manifest Love bath salts to try out and I absolutely love them. The large 16oz bottle is a generous portion that will last for quite some time if used sparingly. Inside you'll find soothing salts as well as large pieces of flowers. The aroma is simply delicious and is only gets stronger once everything is dissolved into the water. Seeing the flower petals floating in the water adds to the luxury. But its the way you feel after soaking that is the true miracle. These bath salts do more than simply relax sore muscles. The natural healing energies of the ingredients, coupled with the Reiki energy, provide an invigorating lift in your spirits. And remember that Love isn't all about romance. There is also self-love and if you are feeling down or need a confidence boost, these salts are a gentle and inspiring lift for your soul.

Its not easy being a writer when you're the mother of four rambunctious
children. As much as I love them, there are times when I just need a
few minutes to myself. Yesterday, I decided to work on a poem for an
analogy that my publisher is working on. I wanted it to be something
deep and meaningful, and its hard to get in that frame of mind with the
kids in the house. My husband agreed to take them out for awhile and
give me a little space, but even then my head was still in a whirl. To
get in a better state of mind, I spent some time meditating. I have
found that certain tools and scents will help me to focus. Yesterday, I
used one of the Creativity Candles from Mystic Sea Angel with amazing results.
The Mystic Sea Angel combines
the two powerful forces of aromatherapy and crystals when creating
their soy based candles. Each candle is made from pure essential oils
that not only provide an intoxicating scent, they are also designed to
help you stimulate your mind to achieve your desired goal. The
creativity candle I tried is made from an earthy bergamot and basil
mixed with sweet lemon and grapefruit that blend into a pleasant and
refreshing citrus scent. Together, they work to promote the mental
clarity you need to help open your mind, allowing your creativity to
flow.
In addition to the natural oils, Mystic Angel Candles
also harvests the power of the earth by adding crystals to every soy
candle. The Creativity Candle uses carnelian to help unleash your
creative spirit, hematite to remove limitations, citrine to enhance
motivation, and amazonite to encourage self expression. Long after your
candle has burned out, you can continue to carry your magical crystals
and draw strength from their endless energies. The store even provides
a little tie bag to store the crystals when the candle is gone.
The aromatherapy, the crystals, and even the elemental flame of the
candle, all combine to create the perfect tool for meditation. As soon
as my spirit returned from my journey, I felt invigorated and the words I
had searched for flowed freely. I was so filled with inspiration that I
was able to write an almost perfect poem in just a few hours. It was a
very fulfilling experience.
In addition to the creativity candles, Mystic Sea Angel also offers
candles to promote chakra balancing, romance, joy, relaxation, and more.
You can even request custom candles to meet your personal needs. So
no matter what area of your life you are looking to enhance or improve,
you can use these candles to help you reach the goal. All of this
comes in one natural and homeopathic package. Each candles are $17 with free shipping.
One lucky winner is going to receive the meditation candle of their
choice. To enter, just complete the Rafflecopter form below. You will
be able to enter this giveaway at both the New Age Mama and Author Laura DeLuca
blogs. You only need to enter ONCE. Please do not enter on both
