Okay, first of all, the resistance is normal. Practicing divination requires you to learn a new set of mental skills, and the habitual levels of the mind always push back against that. Also, most of us do lead bland lives; it's important not to fall into the trap of thinking that doing divination will somehow make your life more exciting than it is. If you lead a quiet, regular, repetitive life, your divinations will reflect that.
Second, the fear of divination you mention is also normal. One of the benefits of daily meditation is that it teaches you not to be frightened of "bad omens." Again, most of us lead bland lives; if you get Lli in your daily reading, for example, that doesn't mean that your world will fall apart, it just means things will be a little more turbulent than usual.
Finally, my book on the Coelbren is in transit between publishers -- I told the original publisher that The Druid Path was about to be released, including material on the Coelbren, and they might want to market my Coelbren book with that in mind; instead, in their infinite wisdom, they let it go out of print. The new publisher is moving with considerable speed to get a new, expanded, improved edition out, but it'll be late summer or early autumn before it's available for order. I'll make an announcement here on Dreamwidth once it's available for preorder.
