Bibliomancy |
Top |
Bibliomancy is the practice of seeking spiritual insight by
selecting a random passage from a Holy Book. It is a form of Stichomancy,
which involves selecting a random passage from a random book of any
nature. Bibliomancy and Stichomancy have been popular methods of divination
for at least 3000 years, when the I Ching was first used to divine
the future.

Biorhythm charts illustrate the principle that we are influenced
by physical, emotional, and intellectual cycles. Many people report
that they can improve the quality of their lives by monitoring the
highs and lows of these cycles and acting accordingly. For example,
you might try to schedule important exams during your intellectual
highs, avoid talking to your significant other during your emotional
lows, or arranging the lineup of your baseball team around their physical
highs.

The I Ching (Classic of Changes or Book of Changes), also known
as the Yi Jing, Yijing, or I Ging, is one of the Five Classics, the
fundamental books of Confucianism. It is over 3000 years old (the
symbols used in divination are over 5000 years old), making it both
one of the oldest surviving books in the world, and one of the oldest
forms of divination. It is by far the most popular spiritual resource
and oracle in Asia, and has a growing following in Europe and the
Americas based on its uncanny ability to provide detailed insights
to those who study it carefully. For more information, read our
Introduction to I Ching Readings.

Numerology |
Top |
Numerology is the ancient practice of converting letters into
numbers (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc), and comparing the results to uncover
the hidden associations between words. Unlike modern numerology (which
revolves around interpretations of individual numbers), this older
form of numerology (known as isopsephia or gematria) focuses on lists
of words, names, and dates whose numeric values match your own numeric
value in some way. The daily readings we offer here combine your birthdate
and birth name with the current date in order to uncover words of
particular relevance to you today. For more detail, you can generate
a personal
profile for yourself or your favorite celebrity. Interpretation
requires attention to detail, but the advantage of pure numerology
is that the readings are entirely objective - you can even check the
math yourself.

Personal Profiles are based on Numerology, the ancient practice
of uncovering hidden associations between words by converting letters
into numbers (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc). Unlike modern numerology (which
revolves around interpretations of individual numbers), this older
form of numerology focuses on lists of words, names, and dates whose
numeric values match your own in some way. Our own contribution to
the art of numerology (that's right - you saw it here first) is using
this approach to find the Tarot card and Rune that represent you,
celebrities who match your birth path, and words that have significant
meaning to your public or private life. The results can be startling,
such as the dramatic difference between the Public Role and Private
Persona of OJ Simpson, or how the words surrounding Audrey Hepburn
dazzle us as much as she does. Understanding these readings requires
an attention to detail, but the advantage of pure numerology is that
the readings are entirely objective - you can even check the math
yourself.

Runes were first used over 1500 years ago by the East Goths,
and later appeared throughout England and Scandinavia. As Christianity
took hold, the use of runic alphabets in divination became reviled
as a pagan practice. The word "rune" itself comes from an
early Anglo-Saxon word meaning "secret" or "mystery",
and they remain an enigma to the world at large. Runes were initially
most popular among Wiccans and modern pagans, but have enjoyed unprecedented
mainstream adoption in the past 30 years. For more information, read

to Rune Readings.

Stichomancy |
Top |
Stichomancy is one of the oldest forms of divination (at least
3000 years old in fact), in which the querant opens to a random page
of randomly selected book in a library, to find an excerpt that applies
to the situation at hand. The most common forms of stichomancy are
I Ching readings (in which one consults the ancient Chinese Book of
Changes) and Bibliomancy (in which one consults a Holy Book such as
the King James Bible or the Koran). In order to give you the widest
possible experience, our library includes hundreds of the most interesting
and famous books and documents in literature. Readings from a particular
genre are the most popular, especially the Adventure, Bible, and Horror
genres.

The Tarot is a deck of cards that originated over 500 years
ago in northern Italy. Although the Tarot was first used in a game
called Triumphs, it was quickly adopted as a tool for divination,
and popularized by occult societies such as the Hermetic Order of
the Golden Dawn. The early Tarot symbolism was deeply rooted in Medieval
and Renaissance Europe, but over the centuries it has grown to incorporate
everything from Astrology and Kabbalah to Runes (which predate the
Tarot by 1000 years) and the I Ching (which predates the Tarot by
2500 years). Today, the Tarot is far and away the most popular tool
for spiritual introspection in the West. For more information, read
