Mystic Theory

What is ”shape” divination?


Listen Later

 Episode Summary :Remember looking at clouds when you were a kid? It wasn't just a cloud... it was a giraffe, a car, a castle, a spaceship. Turns out humans have been doing this for a long time. Shapes in spilled wine divine the future. Shapes in the bottom of your teacup predict the day. Shapes in the smoke are messages from the dead. Why do we do this? and more importantly... how can we use this as a modern (and fun) tool for self-reflection, clarity & insight? That's not just foam on top of your latte... it's a MESSAGE. This is modern, every day, ordinary, run-of-the-mill DIVINATION.
