This is a good understanding of divination.
I used to do tarot readings when I was a traveling bum. They really are just a way of talking through shit with someone while putting up a barrier so that you aren't discussing your personal business with a total stranger. They don't tell the future they let you hash out your own hopes and/or fears. Most of the time I wouldn't even know what the person was asking about.
The cards give the reader something to say and the questioner responds to the prompts that the cards give. The reader keeps track of the responses and then parrots them all back to the questioner essentially telling the questioner what they told the reader to say.
