Basic Elements
The crowned one said:If you believe in these sort of things...If a board with letters and a few words posted on it can, sure why not a pack of cards, or a roll of toilet paper for that matter? I think it comes down to intent, not the item.
This is partially true. There are three factors that come into play as far as I understand it. There is intent, understanding, and symbolism. Symbolism is the bridge which connects with our conscious minds and guides it into particular aggregates of unconscious/psychic energy. However without being properly understood, these symbols do not directly affect us. Once understood, whether these currents affect us "positively" or "negatively" lies with the intent of the individual.
In this way a roll of toilet paper, imbued with the proper understanding and/or symbolism, could serve as effectively as a method of divination as anything else.
