Description
The ancient sages were fascinated by the patterns in nature, which they believed to be manifestations of the divine. They noticed things like the ripples on water, the flight patterns of birds, the lines on a tortoise’s shell, or the way leaves fell on the ground. All of these natural patterns spoke a secret language to them, revealing the truth of the past, present, and future. Over thousands of years, this symbolic imagery has been used to create many fortune-telling methods.
With easy-to-follow instructions and clear illustrations, The Fortune Telling Directory takes the mystery out of the tools of divination and details the use of the following 13 fortune-telling methods:
- Tarot Reading
- Palmistry
- Numerology
- Pendulum Dowsing
- Runes
- Tea Leaf Reading
- The I Ching
- The Coin Method
- Chinese Love Signs
- Crystals
- Geomancy
- Scrying
- Ceromancy

This is an excellent overview of many divination methods.. It's perfect for deciding what method or methods spark an interest. I especially enjoyed seeing both Easter and Western methods in the book. The only way to improve this would be to include some books and/or links for a more in depth look. There are too many places out there to get misleading and wrong information.

This is a great book for anyone who is curious about divination. It details several that will give an idea of which you want to explore. I like that it included a few the new or casual reader might not have heard of. It gives enough information to let you get started with practice as well as leaving room for personal exploration. There are easy to understand instructions as well as illustrations that help make this perfect for beginners.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ -- Brought me back to my younger years!
This was an outstanding reference book for all things "fortune telling". It was visually pleasing, with a lot of illustrations and photos. Packed full of facts and information. I especially enjoyed the "Tarot" section. You also get sections dedicated to runes, crystals, palmistry, numerology, tea leafs, scrying and several more! This reminded me a lot of a book I had as a young teenager. I can see this being a very welcome gift for someone who is interested in the occult and fortune telling. 🔮

For anyone who is interested in the art of divination, this book explores many of the methods in which people have practiced the art of fortune telling throughout history to the present. The book is very easy to read, and has many illustrations that are quite helpful in explaining each of the methods of fortune telling and the historical background for each divination technique.
This book also discusses technique and how to better understand the interpretation of the answers one has received from their intent. The book is a quick read, but it is such that the reader will want to go back to the contents of the book to discover more information in its pages. I found the book to be quite informative and helpful.
