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 its because all the other books on this subject arent very much fun, and so dont 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 dont think that I am poking fun at the concept of oracles -- even ordinary oracles. In fact, Ill bet my Magic 8-Ball that, by the time youve 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.
