Autumn is a time of balance, when the dark and cold are slowly growing stronger as the heat and light recede. The seasons have a dynamic balance, always changing yet never out of balance. A top, like the seasons, finds its balance through spinning.

For this divination spell, you need a big sheet of paper and a spinning top. Think of a question. Meditate about its importance. Toward the center of the paper, write down all the possible steps along the way to your question’s resolution. Toward the edge, write the different possible outcomes or answers. Draw lines between the entries to define areas.

Put the paper on a table. Give the top a spin and release it in the center. Note the path that it takes: these are the most likely things you’ll actually encounter along the way. The place where the top falls over or leaves the paper indicates the probable resolution to your question.
