Chinese Fortune Sticks
There are times when we simply do not know what to do for the best -when we can see both sides of an argument or when we feel we need some advice. For the Chinese, one of the traditional ways of finding such help is to turn to the gods and goddesses for guidance. To do this, they use the divination sticks of Chinese temples which enable the inquirer to receive a specific answer from the deities. These sticks -each numbered individually -are placed in a special holy container marked with the Chinese sign for spiritual blessing. Miraculously, on shaking, one emerges, the poems of the gods and goddesses - the immortal Wong Tai Sin, the Ruler of Heaven, or the goddess of Mercy, Kuan Yin, for example -are consulted and guidance is offered. With Chinese Fortune Sticks you can enter the realms of Chinese tradition and tap into the wisdom of heaven-the Way of the Tao-for help and advice on how to deal with the challenges of everyday life. The system is quick, simple and great fun to use.
