Why Can't They See?

by Teri Sharp

Through the ages, men have sought to know their destiny, And devised many forms of divination, to enable them to "see". Runes, the Tarot, and the Chinese I Ching; Interpreting omens, to see what the future would bring; Seeking visions in tea leaves, or an egg's crack; Ritual stabbing, to see how the blood flows from the back; The pendulums swing; how Ogham sticks fall; Cloud formations; interpreting a raven's call; Dropping candle wax in water and reading the shapes; Counting the number of seeds in apples and grapes; Numerology, astrology, and mirror skrying; Reading an animal's intestines, as it lay dying. Why can't they see that we create our own destiny? For as WE will, so shall it BE.
