Thank You for Attending My ASWM 2025 Presentation!
I appreciate you taking the time to join me at the ASWM Conference 2025. It was a pleasure sharing my work with you!
Below, you'll find more detailed information about the mini divination kits you received as a gift. I hope they serve as a meaningful tool in your practice.
If you have any questions — or if you're interested in having me speak at your event or to your audience — please feel free to reach out.
I specialize in divination, ancient Greek oracles, women’s spirituality, women’s mysteries, the Divine Feminine, Lilith, and mythology. However, I speak on many other topics as well, and am happy to customize a talk tailored to your audience’s needs and interests.
I look forward to the possibility of collaborating with you!
Warmly,
Dr. Vivien Monroe

Invocation to Elemental Beings:
Hold your divination items, breathe deeply, and say:
"I call upon the Elemental Beings of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit.
May your wisdom guide me as I seek understanding and healing.
Show me the messages I need to receive today."
Casting Instructions:
Call upon the elemental beings for guidance.
Hold the objects in your hands, take a deep breath, and ask: “What do I need to know?”
Gently shake your kit in your hands and cast the pieces onto a surface.
Notice how they land—symbols, positions, and patterns all have meaning.
Trust what you see, feel, and sense. The elements speak—listen.
What do the elements, ancestors, or unseen allies wish to share?
Expanding Your Mini Divination Kit
If you’d like to expand your kit, here are some ideas to deepen your practice:
🔹 Incorporate Natural Elements – Gather small items from nature, such as stones, shells, or pieces of wood. Before adding them, ask an elemental being if they wish to be represented in your kit. If they do, invite them to show you which piece to include.
🔹 Create Symbolic Markers – Use white dried cannellini beans, small stones, or wood pieces, and inscribe symbols on them. You’ll find some suggested symbols listed below to guide you.
🔹 Add a Yes/No Item – For quick yes/no divination, include an item with two distinct sides. You can use:
A painted cannellini bean with one side a different color
A coin
A small piece of wood
A shell
A charm or any small, meaningful object
These additions will help personalize and enrich your divination practice. Let the elements and spirits guide you in choosing what resonates most!
