About Charm Divination

Charm divination (also called charm casting) uses small items such as jewelry charms, small resin pieces, stones, or anything else that calls to you to connect with your inner self. It is much like tea leaf readings or tarot, only you will assign a meaning or meanings to each of your charms. Each charm can have a different meaning to different people, so don't be afraid to use it however you like. For example, while books typically have an association with knowledge, you instead might associate it with a family member. Use your intuition.
