Shufflemancy

Ouija board cursing at you? Tea leaves leave you high and dry? Astrology just too old-fashioned? Well, here’s an easy and up-to-date new method of divination. Instead of messing with complex charts or tricky interpretation books, simply think of a question, set your music player (computer, iPod, etc.) to shuffle, and hit play. The first song that plays provides your answer. You might extract meaning from your song’s title, lyrics, or its overall feeling.

If you don’t necessarily want a question answered, just set it to shuffle and take the first song as a sign. Or, let it cycle through a series of songs and let each song represent some portent, Tarot-style. The possibilities are endless.
