For the INFJ witch, divination is not just a practice of seeking answers; it’s a deeply intuitive process that connects you to your inner wisdom, the energies around you, and the subtle messages from the universe. As an INFJ, your natural empathy, introspection, and heightened intuition make you particularly adept at solitary divination practices, where you can tune into your own energy and the guidance of the unseen without external distractions.

In this guide, we’ll explore divination practices that are especially suited to the INFJ witch, focusing on solitary methods that allow you to dive deep into your intuitive abilities and spiritual insights.

1. Tarot and Oracle Cards: Unveiling Hidden Truths

Tarot and oracle cards are powerful tools for divination, offering rich symbolism and intuitive prompts that resonate with the INFJ witch’s deep need for meaning and understanding. Working with these cards in solitude allows you to connect more fully with your inner self and the spiritual energies guiding you.

How to Practice:

• Create a Sacred Space: Begin by setting up a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed. Light a candle, burn incense, and place your favorite crystals on your altar to enhance the energy of the space.
• Shuffle with Intention: Hold your deck and take a few deep breaths, focusing on your intention for the reading. Whether you’re seeking guidance on a specific issue or looking for general insights, let your intuition guide your hands as you shuffle the cards.
• Use Intuitive Spreads: While traditional spreads like the Celtic Cross are useful, as an INFJ, you may find it more meaningful to create your own spreads or draw cards intuitively. Trust your inner voice to guide you to the right cards and the right number of cards.
• Journal Your Insights: After interpreting the cards, take time to journal your insights. Writing down your thoughts helps you process the messages and allows you to reflect on them later. You might also include drawings, keywords, or other creative expressions in your journal to deepen your connection with the reading.

2. Scrying: Gazing into the Mysteries

Scrying is an ancient form of divination that involves gazing into a reflective surface—such as a mirror, water, or crystal ball—to receive visions or messages. For the INFJ witch, scrying is a particularly powerful practice because it taps directly into your intuition and allows you to explore the depths of your subconscious mind.

How to Practice:

• Choose Your Medium: Select a scrying medium that resonates with you. This could be a black mirror, a bowl of water, a crystal ball, or even a simple glass of water. Each medium has its own energy, so choose one that feels right for your practice.
• Prepare Your Space: Dim the lights or practice scrying by candlelight to create an atmosphere conducive to deep focus. Sit comfortably and place your scrying medium at eye level.
• Enter a Meditative State: Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. When you feel ready, open your eyes and gently gaze into your scrying medium. Allow your vision to soften and your mind to quiet as you focus on the surface in front of you.
• Receive the Visions: As you gaze, images, symbols, or colors may begin to form. Trust whatever comes to you, even if it’s unclear at first. These visions may be metaphorical, representing deeper truths or guidance. After your session, journal about what you saw and how it might apply to your life or spiritual path.

3. Pendulum Divination: Receiving Clear Answers

A pendulum is a simple yet effective tool for divination, especially when seeking yes/no answers or quick guidance. The pendulum’s movement is believed to be influenced by your subconscious mind or spiritual energies, making it an excellent method for the INFJ witch to connect with their intuition.

How to Practice:

• Choose Your Pendulum: Select a pendulum that resonates with you. It can be made from a crystal, metal, or even a simple object like a ring on a string. The key is to choose one that feels balanced and comfortable in your hand.
• Calibrate Your Pendulum: Before asking questions, establish your pendulum’s signals for yes, no, and maybe. Hold the pendulum steady and ask it to show you a “yes” response. Observe the direction of the swing, then do the same for “no” and “maybe.” This step is crucial for accurate readings.
• Ask Your Questions: Once calibrated, you can ask your pendulum simple yes/no questions. Hold the pendulum steady over your hand or a pendulum board, and ask your question aloud or in your mind. Allow the pendulum to move naturally, without influencing it consciously.
• Interpret the Answers: Trust the pendulum’s responses and remember that it’s reflecting your own intuition or spiritual guidance. If you’re unsure of an answer, you can ask clarifying questions or consult another form of divination for further insight.

4. Rune Casting: Tapping into Ancient Wisdom

Runes are an ancient system of divination that uses symbols etched into stones, wood, or other materials. Each rune carries specific meanings and energies, making rune casting a powerful method for gaining insights into complex situations or life paths. For the INFJ witch, working with runes can provide a deeper connection to ancestral wisdom and the natural world.

How to Practice:

• Connect with Your Runes: Before casting runes, take some time to connect with your set. Hold them in your hands, meditate with them, and get to know the energy of each symbol. This connection will deepen your practice and enhance your readings.
• Choose a Casting Method: There are several ways to cast runes, ranging from simple one-rune draws to more complex spreads. Start with a basic method, such as drawing three runes for past, present, and future, or casting a small handful of runes onto a cloth and interpreting the ones that land face-up.
• Interpret the Symbols: Each rune has a range of meanings, and your intuition will guide you to the right interpretation for your question or situation. Trust your instincts, and don’t be afraid to explore the layers of meaning that each rune may hold. Use a rune book or guide as a reference if needed, but let your intuition lead the way.
• Incorporate Runes into Rituals: You can also use runes in your rituals by carving or drawing them onto candles, stones, or talismans. This adds a layer of ancient wisdom to your magical work and aligns your intentions with the powerful energies of the runes.

5. Nature-Based Divination: Seeking Guidance from the Earth

For the INFJ witch, who often feels a deep connection to the natural world, nature-based divination offers a direct way to receive guidance and insight from the Earth itself. This practice can involve observing natural patterns, working with natural objects, or spending time in meditation outdoors.

How to Practice:

• Divination with Stones and Leaves: Collect stones, leaves, or other natural objects from a place that feels sacred to you. Assign meanings to each object, such as specific answers, qualities, or elements of your life. Then, ask a question and intuitively choose an object from your collection. The object’s meaning will provide insight into your question.
• Observing Natural Patterns: Spend time in nature, observing the patterns around you—such as the flight of birds, the rustling of leaves, or the movement of clouds. Ask a question or set an intention before your walk, and allow the natural world to offer its guidance through these patterns. Pay attention to any signs or symbols that stand out to you.
• Water Scrying: Find a natural body of water, such as a stream, river, or pond. Sit quietly by the water’s edge and gaze into its surface, allowing your mind to enter a meditative state. As with traditional scrying, visions, symbols, or impressions may come to you, offering insights or messages from the Earth.

Final Thoughts:

Solitary divination practices offer the INFJ witch a powerful way to connect with their inner wisdom, intuition, and the energies of the universe. Whether you’re drawing tarot cards, gazing into a scrying mirror, or casting runes, these practices allow you to explore the depths of your soul and the mysteries of the world around you.

As you engage in these solitary divination practices, remember to trust your intuition and allow your empathic nature to guide you. Each session is an opportunity to deepen your connection with yourself, your spiritual path, and the greater forces at work in your life. Blessed be on your journey of discovery and insight.
