And a blessed start into the week for you and your wife, JMG! Thank you very much for the opportunity to ask questions again.
1. Since divination is done by humans, there will inevitably be a certain amount of “wrong” predictions, due to mistakes, personal biases, bad days, etc. (Even leaving aside the question whether an oracle in itself can be infallible.)
In your experience, what would be the success rate (rate of correct predictions) of a “good” diviner?
(Just asking for a guess from experience here, or even for a rough range if that’s the best you can give :-) )
2. A question about occult ethics:
Is it ok to do planetary charity for issues concerning others without getting their explicit consent?
Example: For a successful job search of one’s spouse - this would concern the spouse, but also oneself/the whole family (in terms of money, spare time, overall happiness, …). Would planetary charity in this case require consent from the spouse?
3. In wrapping up a divination e.g with the Geometry Oracle, is it a good idea to ask one last question along the lines of “did I get the reading right” - a confirmation question?
And if anybody here has tried that/is doing it, are you using the full range of your oracle’s potential answers, or are you going with a simple yes/no divination (e.g. picking one card of the Geometry Oracle: upright = yes, reversed = no)?
(I’m currently playing with such “confirmation questions” and am not yet sure whether they are doing good or harm - would love to get your perspectives, opinions or experiences on them).
Divination sucess rate; planetary charity consent; divination: confirmation questions?
