Ouija or Spirit Board
You can think of Ouija boards (or Spirit Boards) as a two-way conversation between you and the spirit world. Ouija boards consist of a wooden panel that has letters and numbers printed on it. Using a planchette you ask a question and spirits guide your fingers to spell out messages for you. These boards can be very effective for mediumship and are a popular divination tool for psychics. Ouija boards are not helpful as it relates to future predictions or current events. However, they can be highly effective for mediumship. Most mediums use Ouija boards to connect with loved ones who have passed on. Some mediums use Ouija boards to communicate with celestial life.
Tarot Cards
Tarot cards are used as a tool to answer questions and gain insights into the future. Often, they are used to look into the motivations, feelings, or emotions of others. One can peer into the past or check present day energies. Traditionally, tarot cards come in a deck of 78-cards and are best for providing more than one potential outcome in a situation where a client wants to know what happens if they make one choice versus another. In a typical Tarot reading, a psychic will ask for your questions and then shuffle their deck. They then pull cards and place them into a pattern or layout in front of them. Carefully drawing insights and making predictions about your future based on the images and known meaning of cards they see. In this category of divination tools is also Oracle cards. These work much like tarot cards but with established meanings based on that specific card or deck.
Scrying
Scrying is the art of gazing into a reflective surface, such as a crystal ball or mirror, to get insights from the spirit world. There are many benefits to scrying, including ways to see into the future, communicate with spirits, and learn about the past lives of others. When you use this divination tool try not to focus on your reflection. You should be gazing intently while letting your eyes become slightly unfocused. Eventually, you will see a mist form and then you will start to see images.
Pendulums
A pendulum is simply a weighted object that is suspended on a string. This weighted object can be a crystal, magnetic ball or made out of wood. Pendulums are divination tools that are easy to use but limited in scope. They are excellent for yes/no questions, but not so much for in depth looks into the past or future. When using a pendulum typically a circular motion means "Yes" and a back and forth motion equals "No." The great thing about pendulums is that if you don’t like the standard way “yes” or “no” is defined, you can reprogram it to whatever format works best for you.
Dowsing Rods
Dowsing rods are two L-shaped instruments usually made of copper. Traditionally, dowsing rods are used to find water, minerals, and other valuable resources underground. Spiritually, dowsing rods are able to tap into spirit or signify the presence of a ghost. This divination tool is much like a pendulum in that it is best to use for yes/no questions. Some believe that we unconsciously move the rods ourselves. Others believe the rods move on their own because they are conductors for magnetic fields, water, and other elements. Whatever the belief, influencing the outcome of a dowsing rod is a big no-no and will hinder accuracy.
Runes
Runes are small stones, tiles or wood with symbols printed on them. This divination tool is used to interpret the past, future or to predict outcomes in the present. Using runes is simple. You put the runes in a pouch, ask a question and then pour them out onto a flat surface. Focus on the runes with symbols facing up and use the key that comes with your set of runes to discern the messages coming through. Runes can be complex to learn at first so the more you study and practice this tool, the better you will be at it.
Bibliomancy
Bibliomancy is the practice of foretelling the future by interpreting a randomly chosen passage from a book. You can find answers and gain insight into current events and is a divination tool best suited for questions in the present moment or for immediate guidance. To practice the art of bibliomancy simply pick a book, ask a clear question and then turn to a random page. You can also fan the book with your fingers and then stop at a page when you feel compelled. Once you have found a page, trail your finger around the page until spirit says stop. The word, verse or sentence your finger lands on is the message you need to hear.
Conclusion

You can find many other different tools in spiritual books, online and in local occult shops. As always, pick the method or device you feel most drawn to.
