The Book of Ordinary Oracles by Lon Milo DuQuette
The Book of Ordinary Oracles is two books in one – it teaches you how to make and use oracles from common everyday stuff, and it is itself an oracle.
(PRWEB) April 17, 2005 -- In The Book of Ordinary Oracles by Lon Milo
DuQuette (Weiser Books, March 2005), he urges you to ‘try this at home!” He
demystifies consulting oracles, which were once considered difficult or
dangerous, and encourages you to use items that are just lying around the house.
From pocket change to popsicle sticks, and TV remotes to dominoes, DuQuette
illustrates how much fun, and how informative, it can be to consult oracles in
ordinary items. So ordinary, in fact, that the book itself is an
oracle!
“This book was written to be fun. It was fun to write, and I have
every confidence that it will be fun for you to read and use. Why a fun book
about oracles and divination? I guess it’s because all the other books on this
subject aren’t very much fun, and so don’t offer you the one thing that keeps us
all from surrendering to the ‘slings and arrows of outrageous fortune’ and
sinking daily into cynicism, depression, hopelessness, and despair. That is the
gift of laughing at it all – the gift of laughing at ourselves. That said,
please don’t think that I am poking fun at the concept of oracles – even
ordinary oracles. In fact, I’ll bet my Magic 8-Ball that, by the time you’ve
finished reading this little book, your soothsaying abilities will be boosted by
several sooths!” ~ Lon Milo DuQuette
The tools that DuQuette provides
will make consulting oracles as easy as reaching into your pocket or cupboard.
Can one use channel surfing as an oracle? You bet you can! His 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. He also explains how to ask the right questions and how to interpret
the answers.
The Book of Ordinary Oracles is two books in one – it
teaches you how to make and use oracles from common everyday stuff, and it is
itself an oracle.
“Just ask your question and close your eyes. Then
rotate and flip the book over and over in your hands until you have no idea
whether you are holding it right side up, or frontward or backward. Wait until
the ‘spirit’ moves you, then open the book to any page and read your answer. Go
ahead. Give it a try. Have fun.”
Lon Milo DuQuette is the best-selling
author of humorous takes on traditionally serious subjects such as The Chicken
Qabala of Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford and his autobiographical My Life with the
Spirits. He has studied the occult for more than 30 years and is in great demand
as a lecturer across the US and England. He lives in Costa Mesa, California with
his wife Constance.
