Well, let me tell ya, this whole divination devotion thing, it ain’t as fancy as them city folks make it sound. It’s just… tryna figure stuff out, y’know? Like, why the chickens ain’t layin’ eggs or if it’s gonna rain on wash day.
Some folks, they use all sorts of things. Cards, bones, tea leaves… Heck, I even seen a fella stare into a bowl of water like he was gonna see the lottery numbers pop up. Me? I just look at the sky, the way the wind blows. Them birds, they tell ya more than you think.
- Lookin’ at the sky: Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight. Red sky in the mornin’, shepherd’s warnin’. Simple as that.
- Wind: If the wind’s blowin’ from the east, it ain’t gonna be a good day for plantin’.
- Birds: Crows cawin’ loud? Means somethin’s stirrin’ up. Robins singin’ sweet? Peaceful times ahead.
Now, some say this divination stuff is just plain silly. Super-… super… whatever that big word is. They say it ain’t real, that you can’t just know things without proof. But I say, life ain’t always about proof, is it? Sometimes you just gotta trust your gut. You gotta trust the signs.
And the devotion part? Well, that’s just the respect you give to the world around you. It’s like sayin’ thank you for the sunshine and the rain. It’s knowin’ that there’s somethin’ bigger than yourself out there, somethin’ that connects us all. Whether you call it God or nature or just plain luck, it don’t much matter.
Observation is the key, they say. And it’s true. You gotta pay attention. You gotta see the little things. Like, if the ants are buildin’ their nests higher than usual, it means a big rain is comin’. You ain’t gotta be a genius to figure that out. Just gotta keep your eyes open.
And you gotta trust your feelings, too. If somethin’ don’t feel right, it probably ain’t. Don’t matter what the cards or the bones or the tea leaves say. Your heart knows best. Always has, always will.
People have been doin’ this kinda stuff for a long, long time. Way before them scientists with their fancy gadgets and their big books. They used to ask the spirits, ask the ancestors. Tryna find out what happened in the past, what’s gonna happen in the future. Not always the future, mind you, sometimes it’s just tryna figure out why the cow went lame or who stole the chickens.
Some places, they didn’t like this divination stuff. Said it was against their rules, their religion. But folks kept doin’ it anyway. Can’t stop people from wonderin’, can ya? Can’t stop ’em from tryna find answers.
So, when they ask me about divination and devotion, I just say it’s about payin’ attention and bein’ grateful. It’s about listenin’ to the world around you and trustin’ your gut. It ain’t magic, it ain’t rocket science. It’s just… life. And life’s got a way of tellin’ you what you need to know, if you just take the time to listen.
And when folks talk about tools for this stuff, pickin’ what’s right for you is important. Don’t go buyin’ some fancy crystal ball if it don’t feel right in your hand. If a deck of cards speaks to ya, then use that. If lookin’ at the clouds is your thing, then do that. It’s all about what feels natural to you, what connects you to that somethin’ bigger. Just like pickin’ the right hoe for the garden, you want the tool that fits your hand and gets the job done.
So there you have it. Nothin’ fancy, just plain common sense. That’s what this divination devotion is all about, as far as I’m concerned.
