The ancient sages were fascinated by the patterns in nature, which the 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 patterns spoke a secret language to them, revealing the truth of the past, present and future, from this symbolic imagery, many fortune-telling methods were created to help reveal that to us.

Whether you choose to seek your fortune in runic oracles, tea leaves, or crystals, this practical guide will help you to unlock the secret messages they hold to create for yourself and others a happy and positive future.

Interesting read. I hadn't heard of candle-drips as divination. Has a nice bibliography I will probably look into in the future. Good for a general overview, respectful of people's beliefs, and seemed like the authors had actually done research and grounded their book in historical facts, which was appreciated.
