"Cartomancy, or its similar cousin Taromancy, is quite the delicate study. As was mentioned, it can most commonly be considered reading cards, Taromancy being more specific to the Tarot while basic cartomancy can use any form of cards. Actually, most common is a basic deck of Muggle playing cards. And there's another offshoot that simply uses what are known as oracle decks, which is a bit more, well specific than either divination with playing cards or Tarot cards," she said, moving slightly toward the bookshelf as she spoke. If anyone was curious, she could explain their uses as well, but at a later time.

"For now, let's stick with the basics, though," she continued. "Maybe with the Tarot." And her discussion was turning a bit more casual, it seemed. "Does anyone want to offer a fact or two about the Tarot? Anything about the specific cards in the deck, or whatever else you can think of." Then maybe they could look into the correlation between that deck and the others. It would depend on what she got right now.

ooc: As usual, try to stick with only one fact, etc. per post. Let others get a word in. Try not to get too into chats as well and things will continue later. With more fun.


He was nodding....until he wasn't anymore.

Tarot cards. That was...so Nolan. And he wasn't here. Treyen froze in place, remembering about the class, and Peeves, and how he made one card of Saylen. Man, he had a hard time trying to get back into what Bishop was saying. Good thing he knew a bit more about the subject thanks to last year, but it was still a good thing to listen to whatever the Professor said, right? In case she was actually dismissing the class instead of asking them something related to...er, tarot cards in this case.

The boy blinked before gaining power over his ears.

And he hoped he hadn't. Why was Jake taking Divination anyway?

Oh, Jake would do it.

But right now he raised his hand and saiiiidddddd... "The pictures... like, MEAN something. There's pictures of people but of THINGS as well. Like... the Tower. The Tower is my favourite one."

Jake glanced very briefly at Treyen. If he so much a MOVED HIS HEAD, he would wake up in a sandpit.
Who on earth CARED which was his favorite picture? Because that's what he meant, his favorite picture, not his favorite card.

He rolled his eyes before realizing Jake was looking his way, and raised his hand, "Excuse me, Profesor," he said, before turning back to Jake, "Well, yes, Jake, those pretty pictures of yours are there to symbolize the meaning of the card. Like, The Tower will usually have a drawing of a tower to represent the card, or something that relates to it." Oh, yes, he was mocking him, alright?
