The replies (both here and on Wordpress) to my previous post have brought another question to mind. What exactly is divination? When practised, are we connecting to the gods? Spirits? Our subconscious?
I, personally, tend to lean toward the 'if it works, that's cool' school of thought (and thus why I didn't care much for physics in high school). A lot of the time, I'm not really interested in the why. Obviously, I do appreciate that learning more about something will help to make me better at it, but I am not really a person who is endlessly asking 'why' or 'how' about everything.
Point being, that for me, divination is a means of gaining clarity. How it works doesn't often cross my mind.
Also, I think that this is one of those belief-based things. Who knows if we will ever discover exactly how it works, but I am curious to hear about everyone else's beliefs.
How do you think divination works? Does the message come from without or within? Or both?
