A Beginner's Guide To Fortune-Telling

by Lilian Verner-Bonds, illustrated by Coni Curi

Learn the art of divination and take your destiny into your own hands with this beginner’s guide to fortune telling.

Internationally known author and clairvoyant Lilian Verner-Bonds helps budding witches and new practitioners of magic tap into their intuition—and empower themselves. She explains the rich heritage associated with the art of divination and shows you how to interpret your own, and your friends’, futures. A guide to over 40 divination methods ranges from the familiar—astrology, palmistry, tarot—to the more unusual, including cephalomancy (skull reading) and tea-leaf reading. Begin by understanding the truths our own bodies tell us through such methods as psychic drawing and oneirology (the study of dreams), and then move on to telling fortunes from nature (including omens and augury), reading objects (pendulum divination and scrying), and revelations of the random (runes, the I Ching, casting dice).
