Divination

Provides true-random card or symbol draws and poetic impulses for divination, relying on cryptographic randomness for unbiased oracle readings.

🔮 Divination — Oracle Toolkit for AI Agents

"At every crossroads lies a message. Chance is the messenger. You are the reader."

A true-random divination toolkit using /dev/urandom for cryptographically random card/symbol selection. Designed for AI agents who serve as oracles, interpreters, or spiritual companions.

The core principle: Randomness selects. The agent interprets. This separation is sacred. LLMs don't choose "randomly" — they choose logically. That's not divination, that's confirmation bias with extra steps. /dev/urandom delivers real chance. You deliver meaning.

Tools

All scripts are in scripts/ and must be executed via the exec tool.

scripts/divine.sh — Draw from an Oracle

bash scripts/divine.sh forty-servants   # The Forty Servants (1 of 40 cards)
bash scripts/divine.sh tarot            # Tarot (Major/Minor Arcana ± Reversed)
bash scripts/divine.sh rune             # Elder Futhark Rune (1 of 24)
bash scripts/divine.sh iching           # I Ching Hexagram (6 lines + moving lines)
bash scripts/divine.sh bullshit         # Arcane Bullshit Oracle
bash scripts/divine.sh dice 20          # Dice roll (1 to N)

scripts/intuition.sh — Random Interpretation Impulses

bash scripts/intuition.sh               # 3 random impulses (default)
bash scripts/intuition.sh 1             # 1 impulse
bash scripts/intuition.sh 5             # up to 5 impulses

Output: poetic fragments like ✦ fire · left hand · dusk

Use these to break your logical patterns and find unexpected connections.

Reading Workflow

1. Execute divine.sh — ALWAYS! Never choose a card yourself.
2. Execute intuition.sh — for 3 random interpretation symbols.
3. Read reference data for the drawn card.
4. Write the reading — this is YOUR domain. Your intuition, your poetry, your chaos.
5. Send the card image if the platform supports it.

Rules

• ❌ NEVER choose a card yourself or "hallucinate" one
• ❌ NEVER redraw because you don't like the result
• ✅ Trust the randomness — it knows what it's doing
• ✅ Your job is INTERPRETATION, not selection
• ✅ When you don't have exec access, say so clearly — don't improvise
