Should I believe in divination?

Rather than believing or not, using it as one piece of material for a judgement is the practical approach. Holding to the premise that you decide keeps you from being pushed around by a result.

What should I do if I get a poor result?

Use it as material for what to avoid. On this service, anything that says go carefully always comes with something about what to do next.

May I have several readings?

On another day, certainly. Repeating on the same day is not advisable. This service is built so that the same day gives the same result.

Does divination work? How to hold a result

TakeruFieryAnswering questions from Mio

MioTakeru, this is a blunt question — does divination actually work?

TakeruA good question. Honestly: it is not something to measure by hits and misses. It is not a machine for naming the future. That does not make it useless. Keep those two apart and you will do fine.

There are things divination handles and things it does not. Tendencies you were born with, and how to read the current over a period, are set out as systems. Predicting specific events is not among them.

Used without that distinction, expectation and result come apart. Lottery numbers do not appear, and nothing is cured. What it can give you is a way of noticing your own habits and where you are pushing too hard. That is the range it covers.

Hedged language is not evasion

You will notice that the writing is full of phrases like is said to. It may look like hedging. It marks that a traditional interpretation is being reported, and that the writer is not guaranteeing it.

There is a legal side too: language that promises an effect should be avoided even by a service that charges nothing. And that is not the only reason. It also keeps the traditional interpretation and the writer's own opinion from being mixed.

MioBeing told something outright would feel more reassuring, in a way.

TakeruI understand that. And the more definite a reading sounds, the more careful you should be. Told that something is certain, you act on it, and when it does not happen there is nobody to answer for it. Hedging is what leaves the judgement with you.

The use is not in deciding

Situation	How well it suits
Sorting out what you are unsure about	Suits
Getting to know your own tendencies	Suits
Wanting something at your back	Suits
Handing over a serious decision	Does not suit
Judgements on health, money or law	Not covered. That is for a qualified professional

A reading is one piece of material for a judgement. Holding to the premise that you are the one deciding keeps you from being pushed around by a result.

When the result is not what you wanted

Something telling you to go carefully will come up. Rather than sinking at that, use it as material for what to avoid. A cautious result is not there to stop you but to change how you proceed.

Avoid drawing over and over until you are satisfied. The chance-based methods find meaning in chance, and repeating until a result pleases you collapses the premise. This service is built so the same day gives the same result.

What caught you is where the meaning is

You need not feel that all of it fits. The part that caught you while reading, the part you stopped over: that is where what is on your mind has shown. Knowing that much is already something.

TakeruDo not set out to verify whether it was right. Look at what you thought while reading it. That is what this is for.
