divination tools
Seers' reading instruments
Divination tools are objects used to seek knowledge of the future or the unknown through supernatural means.
These include tarot cards, crystal balls, pendulums, runes, and ouija boards.
Practitioners believe such tools channel intuition or spiritual guidance: She spread out her divination tools on the velvet cloth.
The term also applies to ancient methods like casting bones or reading tea leaves.
