On the other hand you have to remember that divination is an aboriginal European thing - we had it long before other gods and religions were imported. So who's to say the more recent religions are right? Divination was forbidden largely because it was seen as a component of paganism and anything redolent of our native cultures had to be stamped out. Near where I live there's a medieval church on the site of an Anglo Saxon church deliberately built smack bang almost on top of an ancient monolith, to stop pagans from daring to practice any more. It doesn't mean it's really evil or wrong or doesn't work just because religion A of religion B says it's wrong. I'd assume if you're xian, you'll do whatever the bible says. If you're starting to question it - then take the opportunity to think long and hard and clarify your own belief system, as this can be useful. I wouldn't follow a religion then discard the bits I didn't like. On the other hand, I wouldn't believe a religion because I grew up with it or because other people use it to control me. Find yourself in all this. BTW I have a friend who is part romany and a tarot reader since childhood and she read the cards for me when I wanted my last baby and not only saw he was coming but actually physically described him - turned out very accurate. And no mean feat as he looks nothing like my other kids. Divination is accurate but then xians don't dispute that or they wouldn't be scared of it. That said there are plenty of charlatans about and a bit of divination won't make something happen - you can make it happen. But also, be very aware - don;t go to anyone who wants to take money from you for this.
