Divination has been used in cultures around the world for millennia. Many of these types of divination have recently become popular with young people, thanks to some popular wizard books that feature divination as a class at wizard schools. But...what is divination, and what does it look like in the real world?

In this class, we will examine fifteen types of divination through a historical lens. Where did these types of divination come from? How were they done in the past, and how does that compare to the methods found in the wizard world series?

Along the way, we'll discuss examples of each type of divination from popular wizard books. Is the Divination professor's approach accurate to how divination was performed in the "real world" throughout history? As a result of our exploration, we'll also be learning a bit about the history of China, India, Europe, and the Middle East!

This self-paced course is divided into four lessons. In each lesson, students first watch a recorded presentation (about 45 minutes each). For each type of divination presented, learners can try a hands-on project related to each type of divination, using materials they already have at home (or easily obtained from your local grocery store). This is a secular class, so each type of divination will be analyzed and discussed through a historical lens (but students are encouraged to respect others' beliefs).

This is a self-paced class, which means there is no live component. All four lessons are provided up front, so you can choose to move through the content as fast or as slow as your schedule dictates. 

Need a discount? Sure thing! All of my self-paced courses are "pay what you can afford." To get the discount you need, sign up for the course first, then message me with the discount you would like, and I will apply a partial refund. This must be done before the end of the first week of class.

This course takes a historical approach to divination. In this class, it is taught that divination cannot be proven by science. Students will be asked to respect others' beliefs in this class, but the approach will be a historical one. Please note that the instructor is not a believer of divination; this course is taught from a historical point of view.

🎓 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 🎓
From 2005 to 2021 I was a highly certified teacher in Arizona, in Science, Language Arts, and Social Studies. (I allowed my teaching license to lapse after becoming employed by the University of Arizona.) I have a Bachelor of Science in Earth and Space Science Education. I have four children ranging from 9 to 14 years of age. Besides teaching on Outschool, I am an advisor and educational outreach coordinator at the University of Arizona, and I also run my own small business giving astronomy shows in an inflatable planetarium for libraries and schools. In my spare time, I like to hike with my family, go on road trips, and volunteer with the Crisis Text Line (an organization that helps at-risk teens and young adults work through difficult situations).

Most of my classes come with projects or extension activities your child can do at home. Because every family situation is different, all of these activities and assignments are optional and at the discretion of the parent.
