There are countless types of divination, so this list is by no means comprehensive, (actually it’s quite short) but it should help with the main methods! :D
A form of divination in which you enter a trance-like state, gaze into a medium, and look for signs or symbols. Common mediums include black mirrors, fire, water, smoke, and tiles.
Divination done using cards of sorts. The images/words/etc. hold meanings that you can interpret. Methods of cartomancy are: Tarot reading, oracle card reading, regular playing card reading, and even the reading of Pokemon cards. Symbolism/interpretation is the main importance with cartomancy.
A form of divination in which you use a pendant-like tool called a pendulum. It has a weighted end, and a place to hold it near the top. The answer to your question is determined by the way it swings. The answers vary from the traditional yes/no/maybe/DWA, to words/letters/numbers, all depending on the board/chart you might use.
Lithomancy is a method of divination in which crystals are cast out on a circular board. Their arrangements are interpreted, and the light reflecting off of them is also taken into account. These are best to buy in sets/kits, since it can be a bit difficult to create one for yourself.
This form of divination involves a few different methods. Some diviners cast the runes, others pull them from a bag, and even still there are those who lay them all out and choose one that feels the best for the current situation (without looking). It is a Norse system and involves special symbols with meanings you can use to interpret the reading.
A similar type of divination to scrying, nephelomancy involves cloud gazing to interpret signs, symbols, and omens. It’s something that can be done at pretty much any time, as long as the sky is visible. I wrote a detailed post on it, linked on my masterpost, which is at the end of this list.
You’ve probably heard of reading tea leaves. Tasseography is the fancy word for that. You go through a process of drinking the tea, turning your cup, and placing it on a plate before reading it in specific directions/paths. There are many ways to do this, but most include using the symbols as omens.
Oneiromancy is good old fashion dream interpretation. If you had a dream that you know means something, take a look into Oneiromancy. Symbolism is important, and so are your personal associations and experiences.
This is a very old method if divination, through which you use a book to answer a question you have. You can use any book you own and at any time. You ask your question, open the book to a random page, and read what you see. Sometimes the response is straightforward, while other times very vague and confusing.
Graphology is the study and interpretation of handwriting or scribbles. Automatic writing falls under this category, which is when you allow a spirit/etc. to use you as a tool of communication. Sometimes words/shapes come out as answers.

You will need the following items for this spell:
2 pins
One Red candle
Post the two pins though the center of your candle at midnight, Think about the person you miss and why you want them back in your life. maybe there is some unspoken words that need to be said, questions that need to be answered.
As you light the candle say this persons full name out loud. Then say: “Know I move to you,as you move to me, As I think of you, think of me too. Come to me in dearest friendship (Or if you are casting this on a ex lover “come to me in love.”)
Then say their name three times, and extinguish the candle.
I’m gonna fight ‘em off A seven nation army couldn’t hold me back They’re gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back And I’m talkin’ to myself at night Because I can’t forget Back and forth through my mind Behind a cigarette And the message comin’ from my eyes says, “Leave it alone.”

If you’re like me, you grew up on songs like Seven Nation Army. Or you’ve heard them profusely, at least. That’s how it was for me, since my parents were both deep into the punk/grunge scene in the 80′s-early 90′s. Lots of the songs I heard were songs like Seven Nation Army, and every time I heard it when I was little, it just filled me with this sort of war-like energy. It made me feel like I could take on anything with gleaming, narrowed eyes, blazing guns, and a whole lot of smoke.
This isn’t your average protection bottle. This makes sure that if anyone even dares to fuck with you, there’s no way they’re coming out of it without the scars to remember why messing with you is a terrible, awful idea.
Rue - Causing Strife (Poisonous, do not handle if pregnant/nursing)
Nettle - Causing Strife, and Protection
Cactus - Causing Strife and Pain, as well as Protection
Devil’s Shoestring - Binding, Causing Pain, and Protection
Cayenne - Causing Pain, Protection
Something sharp (i.e. Thorns, Glass, Nails) - General Cursing, Causing Pain. HANDLE WITH EXTREME CARE.
Your own Blood, Sweat, Spit, and Urine - Binds the protection to you, and adds a surprisingly strong kick to any curse. Only procure these by safe means, do not exert/harm yourself more than you need to.
A Poppet represent your current/future enemies
A jar you can seal up nice and tight
Cleanse your space, place down your protections, cleanse your tools, and get ready to begin.
In the jar, add in your sharp objects, minus the cactus. Make sure there’s enough for your poppet to lay across.
Create your poppet, and make it either look like your representation, or leave it blank to represent anyone who will mess with you in the coming future. Inside of the poppet, add your Rue, Nettle, and Cayenne.
Once you’ve got that dealt with, take your Devil’s Shoestring, and bind that thing’s hands and legs together. If you’re feeling especially fired up, you can even bind it’s throat.
Take the Cactus Pricks you’ve acquired, and carefully push them into where you wish your target’s pain to be the worst. My person opinion? The crotch area, the chest, the head, the legs, and the arms. Or any combination thereof.
Take that poppet, give it it’s identity*, and then throw it in there. Cover it up in any additional sharp things you may have left over, and then put some additional Nettle, Cactus, Devil’s Shoestring, and Cayenne inside.
After this, take your Blood, Sweat, Spit, and Urine. Put them inside.
Repeat these lyrics over the bottle as much as needed, then close the spell, and go on to cleanse your space and tools, as well as yourself. Shake the jar when you need a boost of protection, and leave it on your altar/space for it’s protection, and a reminder thereof. To remove this protection, simply open the jar, and dispose of the ingredients in the trash.
* To Give your Poppet it’s Identity, repeat this:
“Poppet, I name you [Name]/I name you after my future enemies. As you are bound, so are they bound. As you are caused this pain and strife, so are they caused this pain and strife. As you suffer, so shall they suffer.”
It should be noted, that this curse will only set off if you give it a specific target. Otherwise, it’s programmed to only begin when someone messes with you in any major way that would warrant a curse this strong to be applied.
