DIVINATION: Divining the Divine.
Start a conversation about Ouija boards and you will invariably encounter active Christians who react instinctively with rejecting, considering them dangerously occult - a tool of the mythical Satan. Mention the Tarot, The I Ching, Runes and other forms of divination including astrology and you’ll encounter from the same knee-jerk reaction that all are tools of the Devil and must be avoided. Yet many of these same believers will not hesitate to talk about moments when they’ve felt spiritual guidance in their lives; on occasion coming to tears in relating their own experience of the mysterious from within a literal Christian environment.
