Further Exercises

1. Obviously which method you investigated will determine your answer. All divination techniques seem harder to learn than they are in practice though.

2. You may well have different answers but these are the ones we came up with

• The Sun - It is a happy card with problems represented by the wall in the past. The boy is fair haired and attractive. Beauty plus the link with the sun and success suggests Sowelu (Sigil)

• The Chariot - This is obvious a means of travel and the man is holding the reins guiding and controlling. Travel linked with control suggests Raido (Rad)

• High Priestess - There is a strong feeling of magic, of mystery of feminine intuition in this card. It thus suggest Laguz (Lagu)
