Conjure, a form of divination, is a practice that originated from the poor and underprivileged living in regions that were, and still are, unwelcoming towards esotericism and the occult. Due to the lack of resources, Conjure divination involves the use of inexpensive tools that are not exclusively magical. For instance, instead of using Tarot cards, playing cards are used, and blue water is preferred for scrying over a crystal ball. This book primarily focuses on playing-card divination, offering detailed insights into this method. However, it also delves into other forms of divination such as bibliomancy, pyromancy, pendulums, and throwing the bones. By exploring these methods, readers can learn how to utilize different objects and develop different techniques to gain a deeper understanding of their lives and the world around them.
