Divination using found objects or collected trinkets is a fun way to use your intuition and also add to your knowledge of tarot.  There are many ways you can add the use of dice alongside your readings or even as a separate system.  Playing cards are inexpensive (also highly collectable), but work very well for reading the cards.   There is a cool system of reading fortunes with Dominoes as well, your creativity is the only limit!

Decks Used: Halloween Dreams Playing Cards - Paulina Fae
                           - The Illuminated Tarot - Caitlin Keegan
                            - Dragon Age Inquisition Dread Wolf Dice
                                                       
Practice What You Learned:
- Be on the lookout for playing cards you find outside as a spontaneous mini reading
- Find a set of DnD dice (these don't have to be expensive)
- Curate a collection of charms
- Try a reading with dominoes (check link below)
- Try out some cool shuffling techniques with playing cards
