Imbolg, symbolically, is a Sabbat that is a crossroads; a half-way mark between the winter solstice and spring equinox. So Imbolg is the perfect time for divination work to be done.
Now divination-wise, I always head for the Tarot. I love all my Tarot decks, and I have been using them for the last 12 years to give me a little extra guidance in my daily life. Other forms of divination have come into my practice by learning more about Paganism and Wicca. Recently, I have also incorporated Oracle cards (another love), some I-Ching, and pendulum work. All that was left were runes.
Runes. Not so enamoured with those. In the past I was never able to connect with them, despite making my own set as a side project whilst in my high school art class. Yet in some strange way I still want to, if that even makes sense.
So I decided last night that my task until Ostara would be to find out more about the runes and how to use them. Perhaps I could try and incorporate them into my tarot readings, which I have seen certain people do. Using runes along with the tarot might make learning about them easier, because I can use them within a medium that I am well-versed in and already comfortable in using
I actually have a few books about runes from my first foray into Wicca many, many years ago, so I will certainly be reading those again.
