From Wikipedia:

DIVINATION:
-- "Spontaneous divination. An unconstrained form of divination, free from any particular medium, and actually a generalization of all types of divination. The answer comes from whatever object the diviner happens to see or hear. Some Christians and members of other religions use a form of bibliomancy: they ask a question, rifle the pages of their holy book, and take as their answer the first passage their eyes light upon."

Now, how many of you Christians out there have done that... NOT realizing it was a form of divination? I know that *I've* done it before...

"However, in the Judeo-Christian Bible most forms of divination are strictly forbidden by God."

"Most" forms?
Now I'm quite interested - which, if any, forms of divination are NOT forbidden by God?

I recall some king or someone using astrology frequently.
And don't they cast lots? That would be sortiledge divination.

What makes those forms okay, but not tarot cards?
Why can I cast lots and interpret the stars, but reading your palm or consulting a deck of cards is grounds for being stoned to death?

my initial response, after reading this, is thus;
i have never done that sort of thing. the Bible must be taken in CONTEXT and not selective hearing.

example..a young Bible student in a Bible College wanted to know what God's will is for the day. he opened his Bible, flipped the pages, shut his eyes and pointed. the verse said "judas went and hanged himself"   "well that sure can't be God's will for me!" so he did it again, this time he found "go thou and do likewise".  third time's a winner right?  "whatsoever thou doest, do quickly!"

wrong use of Bible.

give me a list of all forms of divination. thanks....

the only occurence of casting lots that I can remember in Scripture is casting lots and tossing Jonah into the sea.  the casting lots in that story doesn't seem to be condemned or encouraged, just recorded as happening...

Fuck yeah.  I love my tarot cards.  (Ran across your site through the Ani blog ring, by the way.)
