I am continuing my deeper tarot/divination study. I have come to some of the same conclusions as I did about magick in general. You can read books, and see what other people are up to for only so long. And then, you have to decide. You have to decide which of the things you have seen works for your personal version of the world. You have to make a plan for yourself, and start using it in reality before you can see if the plan works. You also have to then decide what you think divination can do for you and how it does it. Our theories will doubtless be different. I think the future is in motion,(Yoda-"Ever in Motion is the Future") and an instance of divination is a snapshot of the current trends at that moment. I think the trends can be observed for hazards, and then either mundane or magick methods can be used to hopefully skate across the danger. I also sometimes like to draw a card to check the temperature or atmosphere of a room and its inhabitants.

I was reading in a book that Tarot can be used to communicate with spirits and gods. We should try that sometime.
Just after the birth of anthropology as a field of study many educated peoples would read about exotic natives in foreign lands or archaeological digs and they would come up with grand hypotheses based on their readings. We have a term for this today - armchair anthropology. What you describe is similar. You can talk or discuss or theorize about something all you want, but your views WILL change once you get your hands dirty and dig into the trenches. Experience trumps all.
