This is a great book for beginners！I love all things witchcraft and occult and while I’ve read books about moon magic and Wicca and witchcraft in general， I’ve never actually picked up a book about divination。It definitely doesn’t go in depth at all or have resources for further research， but it is a good jumping point for research to do yourself。

Such a wonderful introduction to the major forms of divination。 This is a great launchpad to help you discover what area you are most drawn to， or if you are already familiar with one i。e。 tarot and are looking to add a second form of divination to your arsenal。 Liz Dean covers the basics and gives you enough to start practicing and experimenting with tarot， runes， scrying， numerology， tea leaves， palmistry and crystals。 Overall， I enjoyed this very much。

I would give this 2 1/2 stars if I could。 I really wavered between 2 and 3， and decided on 3 since it's a fun basic read if you don't want too much information。This is an okay book if you want to dabble in fortune telling techniques for fun。 It does not go into enough detail to really help take it seriously， but you'd probably buy or check out individual books on the specific techniques if you wanted to do that。 It is fairly lacking in illustration and pretty generic。 You don't get a sense of th I would give this 2 1/2 stars if I could。 I really wavered between 2 and 3， and decided on 3 since it's a fun basic read if you don't want too much information。This is an okay book if you want to dabble in fortune telling techniques for fun。 It does not go into enough detail to really help take it seriously， but you'd probably buy or check out individual books on the specific techniques if you wanted to do that。 It is fairly lacking in illustration and pretty generic。 You don't get a sense of the author and her history with any of this at all， but more a "here's super basic information" on each section。I do have some knowledge of most of the sections in this， even though I don't really follow them。 Some examples of where I'm coming from as a reader: I have experience with tarot cards， have done numerology for fun in my younger years， had a child who had fun using runes for a while， and things like that。 When I worked as a small town bartender and waitress in my 20's I had a set of Mexican bingo cards that I told fortunes with for fun and while I didn't take it seriously， I had people who brought friends from other towns to get readings。 My family and I take part in a historic fortune telling event every year where a "fortune teller" （an ER nurse who's studied palm reading for fun for years） tells us all about what the lines in our palms mean。 Things like that。 So while I don't use divination as a serious part of my own spiritual path， I know a lot about most of the methods talked about in the book。The tea leaf reading bit struck me as particularly silly， to be honest。 You're supposed to look for images in the spent tea leaves at the bottom， but there aren't pictures of examples other than a few blobs to give you an idea。 And the list was a little ridiculous。 How do you know if a shape is a ring or a circle or a bracelet， for example？ It's a circle shape made of leaves。 And some of the shapes were even sillier。 What does a cell phone shape in tea leaves look like？Also， it's really lacking information on how to do the stuff。 For instance， it talks about how to basically toss crystals onto a mat to see what falls close to you or near or off the mat， and then tells what each crystal means。 There are a LOT of crystals and some of them are rare or expensive like emeralds。 Are we supposed to buy all those crystals？ Where？ What size？ Does it matter if they're polished or raw？ How big is the cloth？ What kind of cloth？ There's just so little information。 Stock photos show what each crystal looks like from shutterstock but some are round and polished and some are more like science kit crystals。 In the palmistry section， there are line drawings but there's just not much to go on。 I would have really appreciated photos of hands for examples。 Also， I seem to have no fate and supposedly will have no children （I have 5）。 My local ER nurse/fake palm reader does a much better job reading my palm。 :） The types covered included: tarot cards， using a pendulum， numerology， palmistry， runes， crystals and crystal balls。NOTE: I would recommend reading a physical copy of this book and not a digital one， as the illustrations don't tend to be on the same page as the text about them。 The Kindle version is likely to be frustrating， though this is just a guess since my version is in ADE format and not Kindle。I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review。 。。。more

Very very helpful and thorough。 Would recommend to others if they were looking to learn about this subject。 I like how the chapters are broken up。 This is definitely a book I can keep referring to over and over。

2。5 stars rounded up （I'm feeling kind today）。 There is nothing really bad about this book， but nothing good either。 Most of this is just copy and paste from the internet/other books or just general knowledge that cannot be worded any differently to how it has already been explained before。 I have an EPUB ARC copy of this book so I don't know how it looks in person， but to me， it looks very amateur。 I've had a look at a Kindle sample too and that looks the same。 Maybe it's just how it looks digi 2。5 stars rounded up （I'm feeling kind today）。 There is nothing really bad about this book， but nothing good either。 Most of this is just copy and paste from the internet/other books or just general knowledge that cannot be worded any differently to how it has already been explained before。 I have an EPUB ARC copy of this book so I don't know how it looks in person， but to me， it looks very amateur。 I've had a look at a Kindle sample too and that looks the same。 Maybe it's just how it looks digitally。 Or maybe it's because I just rated another crystal book 5 stars because it was beyond gorgeous， but I don't know。。。it just doesn't look right。 For me， no new information was added and it is just "copy and paste" information。 And on top of that， the overall layout/design of the book isn't that great either。 I received an advance review copy for free， and I am leaving this review voluntarily。— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — Links to purchase book:Amazon UK 。。。more

I like all type of fortune telling。 When I was young I wanted to try it but was confused as to what I should go with。 Should I study tarot cards ？ Or should I go with palmistry ？ And what is pendulum reading or crystal reading？ This book answers the questions in a very simple way。 I wish I had this book when I was young and wanted to choose。 So if you have such questions go for this book。 It has short detailed information about all of the divination techniques。Thank you for the ARC。

This book had an overview of many of the main divination techniques including tarot， palmistry & crystals。 I thought it great for a beginner and some sections were very detailed。I thought some aspects such as the tarot could possibly have been a mini book of its own so that it could be more detailed。

The Divination Handbook is an incredibly useful book if you are at all interested in any kind of divination。 I enjoyed the chapter on palmistry the most。 The was very thorough and descriptive。 Also， I liked it very much that there were photographs and not only descriptions of crystals。 I think this is a nice start if you are planning on getting into divination。 （But， I must disclose that I received this book through Netgalley and there was some kind of problem with my copy of the book - some let The Divination Handbook is an incredibly useful book if you are at all interested in any kind of divination。 I enjoyed the chapter on palmistry the most。 The was very thorough and descriptive。 Also， I liked it very much that there were photographs and not only descriptions of crystals。 I think this is a nice start if you are planning on getting into divination。 （But， I must disclose that I received this book through Netgalley and there was some kind of problem with my copy of the book - some letters seemed to be missing， so it made it a bit hard to read。） 。。。more
