Coin Divination: Pocket Fortuneteller

Summary: Good Resource
Review: When I first saw this book, I was curious about the coinage on the cover. Chinese coins have always been of interest to me.

But it is the content of this book that I found much more interesting. This little book is packed with information of value to anyone interested in divination.

There is a short introduction relating some history of coins being used as "Divination" tools. The "heads or tails" is the most obvious. But Mr. Buckland goes deeper, examining divination from its roots, its history and its use.

He then gives you some real "meat and potatoes" information, a complete "how to" use coins as tools for divination. No fancy coins needed, pocket change will do. And he goes from very basic "yes or no" types of divination for the beginner to some very thorough and complex multiple coin astrological divination, coins used as tarot cards and I Ching variations.

A small pocket book, yes, but don't let that be a judgement on this book. The tarot, astrological and I Ching material covered in this book make it well worth having for that alone.

Raymond Buckland has packed big things into a small package here and has given us yet another book of solid information and guidance well worth having in our libraries.
