Book Overview

Consulting oracles used to be difficult and dangerous. You had to make a pilgrimage plagued with hardship, trudging through the desert to a holy place or person. Or kill a calf to read its liver or a bird to read its entrails. Or study for years to read ink dropped in water. Who has the time? Traditional methods just aren't convenient today. What's a divine wonderer to do? Funny you should ask. In The Book of Ordinary Oracles , Lon Milo DuQuette shows us how to use items lying around the housefrom pocket change to chopsticksto divine answer to everyday questions. He also tells us how to ask the right question and interpret the answer. The tools he provides will make consulting oracles as easy as reaching into your pocket or cupboard. Can one use channel surfing as an oracle? You bet DuQuette's anecdotes illustrate various divination techniques. Laugh your way to wisdom while learning new ways to look at the I Ching and how to read tarot cards for yourself. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Fortune Telling for Dummies & other Complete Idiots?

Not exactly! Mr. Duquette outlines, with his usual humorous, no-nonsense approach, just how divination works, and how we can make it work for ourselves.

Divination without tears.

Like all of Mr. DuQuette's books, this one gives important information on a serious subject without being solemn.

As a practitioner and author myself in the divinatory arts, I recommend this enjoyable small book for its playful and astute delivery of large ideas. Once again, author Lon DuQuette applies his rare gift of humor and invention to a...
