Let's start this forum up with a list of the 51 forms of divination. If some are missing, by all means, post them. This is the list I use in my Divination course, having each student research the list Items extensively. One can excel in a specific form of divination, but I beleive one must at least be concious of the most. (list courtesy of wiccanweb.ca)
