Formed in the misty reaches of a few years ago, Daughters of Divination was formed to explore the "Oracular Universe ™" and all its divinatory possibilities (as well as supporting Thalassa’s mad schemes for global domination through divination-centred events). DOD helps to produce the San Francisco Bay Area Tarot Symposium (SF BATS) and the Tarot Rumba Lounge, a divination salon. Through events, The Belfry ("the finest piece of divinatory journalism in the Western world!"), readings, and classes, DOD fosters investigation of the Universe inside and outside the individual.

Like many more august bodies, DOD started informally, growing out of Friday night socials involving divination toys and techniques, pizza and red wine. It has since mutated into the quasi-respectable institution it is today. The Founding Daughters - Thalassa, Miss Patricia Croteau, Thena MacArthur (The Belfry’s Shaman Desk), and Dave Shultz - have among them several hundred years of divination experience in a broad range of techniques.

Anyone may become a Daughter, regardless of gender or other considerations. In fact, the first dues paying DOD member was the late, much-beloved Brian Williams (see In Memoriam), proving that one can have a gentleman’s equipment and still be a Daughter. A spirit of play and wry amusement weaves through all of the Daughters’ operations. To truly enjoy one’s membership as a Daughter one must have an active (and, one hopes, informed) interest in divination, an open mind, a soupcon of curiosity and a sense of humour (or a willingness to develop one in short order). We believe in having a good time while exploring the mysteries and poking under the veils.

Through its patented "Secret Society Meter," DOD offers sects, cabals, conspiracies, infernal fraternities, and a variety of other esoteric amusements to enhance the membership experience. Belfry Labs, Ltd., the research arm of The Belfry, tirelessly explores the more (perhaps rightfully) obscure outposts of the esoteric frontier and dutifully reports its findings to members through its expository articles in The Belfry.

The Belfry, periodically by DOD, features articles, rants, reviews, information and a calendar of events. A sort of "New Yorker" of the esoteric, each issue is full of well-written original thought on all aspects of the metaphysical, with a focus (but of course!) on matters divinatory. A subscription is included in DOD membership. A subscription sans membership is $15 . (see Application)

DOD membership is not only fun and informative (or should be, if one is doing it correctly), it also bestows the warm glow of virtue that obtains in expanding one’s horizons and facilitating community among fellow divination practitioners.
