DIVINATION I
Divination 1 is an overview of the role of the seer in an Indo-European societal context, as well as
a practicum for modern divination. Students will learn a basic divination system at an introductory
level, and about the uses of divination for oneself and others. At this level the divination may still be
book-assisted. The primary goal of this course is for the student to become more aware of the kinds
of divination and seership practiced in the Paleo-pagan Indo-European world, as well as the most
basic ways divination is used today.
