The practice of Divination - seeking divine wisdom - is as old as history. From dream interpretation and astrology to Tarot cards and Rorschach tests, people have long used various methods of ganging insight that goes beyond conscious thought. Whether you take the advice from these oracles or not, such a practice is a great way to get another angle or viewpoint on whatever situation or problem you are facing. There is also a random element involved, such as the picking of a card, flipping coins or the placement of tea leaves. This leaves the 'choosing' of the answer to fate, the gods, or luck - either way, the idea is that it comes from somewhere else, and not from your own ideas or opinions of others.
