Signs of the Zodiac? Crystal balls?Wicked Witches? Tarot cards? Do you wish to have your fortune told? It's not bad to know about some ways of fortune telling, is it? We welcome you to share!

Fortune Sticks

Ellenmz — 2022-04-15 02:57:48 UTC

Another popular way to have your fortune told is one that you're likely to come across at Taoist temples.

Qiúqiān employs a bundle of sticks with different Chinese characters inscribed on them (32, 60, or 100 sticks). You shake the cylinder until a stick drops out with a Chinese character inscribed in it. This character and its meanings is then used to predict your future. This method most resembles drawing lots, a lottery/raffle, or tarot cards ... or fortune cookies, etc.

This method particularly will require you to bring someone who speaks Chinese, as the explanations and predictions are longwinded and rooted in traditional Chinese.

Aeromancy

oirottiVRyan — 2022-04-15 06:10:58 UTC

Definition : divination from the state of the air or from atmospheric substances

How to do: Aeromancy requires that you keep your eyes on the skies. You'll have to watch for clouds, birds, precipitation, etc. This word doubles as a fancy word for weather forecasting, though we have yet to hear the word thrown around on the local weather report.

My opinion: It is really strange. The change of weather mainly depends on the air pressure,temperature the evaporation of water. Weathers are predictable, but future is unpredictable. How can we predict something unpredictable by something predictable!

Arithmancy

2022-04-15 12:01:37 UTC

Arithmancy refers to the use of numbers to explain people's character and destiny, or predict the future. Arithmancy is based on a series of rules and rigorous mathematical operations. The current arithmancy is based on the Pythagorean philosophy and the Kabbala tradition of Jewish mystical philosophy, which advocates that "the world is built on the power of numbers". The ancient Latin alphabet was set according to the numerical value, so the sum of all the letters was reduced to the numerical value of 1 to 9, which was applied to divination.
The first step in analyzing a person's name is to turn it into a series of numbers. Each letter corresponds to one of the numbers 1 to 9.
The following is the basis of this conversion:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z
When you write down all the numbers, calculate their sum. Add all the digits of this number until the sum is one digit. The number obtained is the personality number of the name.
The next step is to extract the mental number, which reflects the person's inner activities and reveals the person's inner desires and fears. What we need to do is to add the numbers corresponding to the vowels in the name, which is the same as the front. The last digit is the number of the soul.
Finally, the third number is called "social number", which reflects the person's external personality, that is, the characteristics of a person to the outside world. This number is determined by the sum of the numbers corresponding to the consonants in a person's name.
Do you want to know the results? Let me take 7 as an example. 7 stands for strong cognitive ability, intelligence and savvy. People who belong to this number like to work hard and like challenges. They are usually serious, pedantic and interested in all mysterious things. But they may also be pessimistic, sarcastic and insecure.
Arithmancy is very interesting. And it’s a lot of fun! But I think our personalities and future won’t rely on it. We should believe that we are the people who decide our future and characters. Future is waiting for you, do your best!

Death Clock If you can predict the future, why don't you see the exact time of your death? Billions of dollars are spent by the goverment on life. The vital statistics of life insurance can give a not-very-accurate estimate. The most terrible thing is that some statisticians believe that they can reduce the difference of prediction results to within three years. Of course, they cannot predict any accident such as air crashing or car accident at all!

Burnt tortoise shell

2022-04-16 02:55:30 UTC

This kind of divination started in the Shang Dynasty. Back then, before doing some important things like attack the enemy in a war, people will carve words meaning “luck” or “inauspicious”on tortoise shells. The part which is less burnt is the answer. So, if the part that means “luck” is burnt badly, they will think it is a bad omen, and won’t attack their enemies.
They also use other animals body parts, like chicken bones, or eggs. But using the tortoise shell was seen as the most accurate one. That’s because the tortoise can live much longer than the other animals, so people think it must have seen a lot of things, and is much wiser. Another saying is that people believe that the spirit of the tortoise can communicate with the god. Also, the tortoise is seen as one of the four mythical animals, it resembles water in the five elements, North of the four directions and winter in the four seasons. One of the main reasons for the tortoise to be used as artifact for divination is that the curves on its shell is seen to resemble Tiangandizhi in Chinese divination theory.

CRAZY WAYS OF FORTUNE TELLING

2022-04-16 03:50:22 UTC

1. Word splitting fortune telling

We don't use a lot of word splitting fortune telling now, but it is a form of fortune telling often used in ancient times. Word splitting is used to disassemble and analyze the written words. Chinese is a kind of hieroglyphic characters. Each side can be separated into different characters. A person writes down a word casually, and then the fortune teller can know a person's current situation, his personality and so on by splitting the radicals and counting the stroke order. After all, radical and written meanings are the easiest to reflect a person's life, with a certain degree of accuracy.

2. Dream Interpreting

Dreams made in each period have a certain direction. In ancient times, our dreams were divided into several categories: illusory, grotesque, changeable, satisfying and so on. The meaning of each different dream is also different, which is the best response to a person's situation. The fortune teller can know some things that will happen in the future by understanding the matters encountered by the fortune teller in the recent period, the types of dreams and the matters that happen in the dream.s

1.Alectryomancy. Alectryomancy was the practice of divining the future throughthe fortune-telling power of chickens.

Definition from Bing.com:"divination by means of a 🤬 and grains of corn," 1680s, from -mancy "divination" + Latinized form of Greek alektryon "🤬," literally "warder-off, fighter," related to alexein "to ward off, drive or keep off" (see Alexander, and compare Alekto, name of one of the three Furies). Perhaps originally a personal name, applied at first to the fighting 🤬, then to 🤬 generally. Earlier form of the word in English was alectoromancy (1650s). Letters of the alphabet were traced on the ground and a grain of corn was placed on each.

2.Parrot astrology, which known as கிளி ஜோசியம் or Kili Josiyam in Tamilnadu, is an art ofastrology, which mostly perform in SouthernIndia. Parrot Josiyam is subject of clairvoyanceof the bird.

That sounds quite unrelieble,eh? You cannot take choices only by the words parrots say. Many people just play it for fun, but others believe it a lot! :-)

CRAZY WAYS OF FORTUNE TELLING

2022-04-16 06:02:58 UTC

DEFINITION: Use three coins to predict whether doing something is proper or not. If there are more coins which are face up, it means that doing something will bring you good luck and you are more likely to success. On the other hand, when there are more coins which are reverse side up, you probably will fail on doing something. It sounds extremely simple, isn’t it?

HOW TO DO: Firstly, put three copper coins( If you don’t have any, you can use other kinds of coins which are not made by copper) on a clean table. Then, fetch a tortoise shell or a porcelain bowl. Lift the shell or the bowl up and cover it over the coins. Next, you should close your eyes and quietly review the things you want to be predicted. Meanwhile, use your hand to shake the shell or the bowl on the table. After you have read the things you want to ask in your mind for forty-nine times. You can remove the shell or the bowl on the coins. If all the coins are face up, draw a circle on the paper, if all of them are reverse side up, draw a cross on the paper. And if there are other conditions, just draw a short line on the paper. Repeat the steps before for six times, then compare what you draw to the reference book and find out the result.

MY OPINION: It is a kind of way of prediction which is very easy to operate and nearly anyone could learn it. However, if you tried it for many times, you will find that each time, you will get a different result. Also, if you are not concentrate on the things you want to ask, the result will be nonsense. And even if you are a master of this, you may still get the future wrong. So I think this prediction is just a coincidence and is not so accurate. And we can’t rely on it to make our own decisions.

crystal-ball fortune-telling

2022-04-16 08:06:21 UTC

Crystal ball is one of the most famous divination tools. Its roots can be traced back to ancient druids, an elite class of Celts, and then it became popular all over the world.
With the passage of time, the crystal ball has become a symbol of psychic or witch, and it is a practical divination tool with a sense of atmosphere.
This is a necessary procedure before all divination ceremonies. You can protect yourself in many ways, such as using candles to protect energy, spreading salt circles around your body or building a light screen through visualization to isolate negative energy intrusion.
When grounding, please sit in a chair with your feet firmly on the ground. Imagine that your feet become luxuriant roots and deeply connected with the earth, and a steady stream of power is pouring into your body.
Crystal balls are made of various materials. Transparent, white, black and purple are the most popular choices. In fact, any material can work well. It is recommended to choose a color that resonates. Of course, you can have several crystal balls to deal with different questions.
For example, pink balls are used for love, while amethyst balls can solve health-related problems well.

Five Element Numerology

2022-04-16 09:11:52 UTC

The five element numerology was summed up by the ancient Chinese people from their life practice. They believe that everything in the century is composed of five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which have different manifestations in different things. For example, five colors: green, red, yellow, white and black, five tones: horn, sign, palace, Shang and feather, five flavors: sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty, five internal organs: liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney, five emotions: joy, happiness, desire, anger and sorrow, five constants: benevolence, propriety, faith, righteousness and wisdom, etc. the five elements of each situation show the order of wood, fire, earth, gold and water. The five elements have the order of generation, mutual generation and mutual restriction. The order of generation is wood, fire, earth, gold and water. The order of mutual growth is wood generates fire, fire generates soil, earth generates gold, gold generates water and water generates wood. The order of mutual restraint is: water over fire, fire over gold, gold over wood, wood over soil, and soil over water. The five elements of numerology are usually supplemented according to the mutual generation. If you hit the lack of fire and wood, you can directly supplement the strong nature and damage the numerology. In life, the five elements can also be supplemented by wearing ornaments. In this way, it is better to supplement according to the five elements, such as gold supplement - Orange stone, rose stone, wood supplement - Blue Velvet crystal, crow blood stone, water supplement - Indigo crystal, cloud sea stone, fire supplement - red silkworm stone, beeswax stone, earth supplement - Shadow stone and cherry blossom stone. The five elements can be filled with jade.

Copper Coin Divination

2022-04-17 02:03:42 UTC

It is one of the most commonly used and widely circulated divinations.
Before starting the hexagrams, you should meditate on the question you asked. After reading the hexagrams, you can put the three copper coins in the palm of your hand or put them into a bamboo tube. Shake the palm or the bamboo tube and throw the copper coin on the table to observe the positive and negative sides of the copper coin. The front side of copper coins is yang, and the reverse side is yin.
After throwing a copper coin, as in the copper coin:
There are two positives and one negative, it is Shaoyang
Two opposite timing, it is Shaoyin
When all three are positive, it is Lao Yang
When all three are opposites, it is Lao Yin
In this way, by throwing copper coins six times in a row, you can get a complete hexagram from bottom to top. It is worth noting that the hexagram is shaken a total of six times. The result of the first shake is the first line, recorded at the bottom of the hexagram; the result of the second shake is the second line, recorded above the first line, and so on, until the sixth time is completed.
The ancient coins were used for hexagrams. Before the Ming Dynasty, copper coins generally had characters on one side and no characters on the other side. The characters with Chinese characters were "characters", and the words without characters were "back". The bronze coins of the Qing Dynasty have one side in Chinese and the other in Manchu.

Crystal ball

2022-04-17 06:36:56 UTC

Water divination is much easier than crystal ball, represented by birdbath divination, which is an alternative to crystal ball divination and meditation

It is not easy to start with the divination of the vision class from the periphery and the crystal ball vision is the most difficult so if you want to start with a hard vision, or even look at the crystal ball

It is difficult to make any progress. If you can start with psychic auguries and practice other kinds of auguries, and try and experience these similar but easier auguries, you will have a better sense of psychic auguries and have a better understanding of how to start. There are two types of auguries closest to psychic auguries:

One is to occupy, occupy the natural divination and coffee divination class

The second is the spirit pendulum, related to induction force, willpower exercise

By crystal spirit pendulum, and can begin to contact crystals, semi-precious stones, collection, research

Other peripheral training (not divination)

1. General dream interpretation techniques

2. General meditation training

Of course, if one could understand or read all kinds of divination and occult

It is very helpful to progress the crystal orb vision

After the basic work of exercise, then you can really get into the spirit of divination, however, still not directly to scrying, because the crystal ball is the most difficult, in the spirit sees is also very susceptible to interference, practice the crystal ball is difficult, if you want to practice to "see" image, can use birdbath instead of, this is the line of sight range size problem, Practitioners might as well start with water of the spirit of the class started, water accounts for easier than the crystal ball, represented by birdbath divination, water is the scrying and meditation replacement (depending on the practice in spirit, can cooperate with meditation), however, pure water basin divination still has the difficulty, can be more simple, but there are other changes in the form of operation

Here are some things to try:

One, drop wax divination

Two, drop paint meditation

3. Sprinkle Herb divination

These from the water dripping or scattered into the object shape change, inspire lenovo force and spiritual adept, can be pure water basin divination, pure water basin divination can train a day, need not deliberately to "see" it too, from time to time to the birdbath glance, until one day can get induction, or help image, image appears in our mind

After that, you'll be more familiar with crystal ball divination

Tarot Reading

2022-04-17 08:05:15 UTC

Reading the Tarot is a wonderful thing but those who approach this world often find themselves in the chaos of the multitude of news, information, schools of thought and traditions.

Do not be scared, it is normal, because the Tarot is very ancient and over the years many people have studied and used them, creating their theories and passing down traditions.

Knowing the meanings of the tarot will allow you to have a precious guide always with you, who accompanies you and advises you in all your choices and decisions.

So in this article I will try to shed a little bit of clarity on how to read the Tarot, according to the tradition that my grandmother handed down to me.

Table of Contents

Can anyone learn to read cards?

There are people who have the famous “gift”, and therefore have a particularly developed intuition and are inclined, and it is as if they already knew how to do a Tarot reading, but this does not exclude that everyone can learn.

In fact the two most important things are:

the attraction towards the Arcana (another name of the Tarot)
the desire to learn and get involved

Intuition can be trained, because if you have never used it, it may be asleep, and therefore must be awakened.

Another thing that scares a lot those who start reading the Tarot is the fear of not being able to remember the meanings of all 78 Tarot Cards (22 Major Arcana + 56 Minor Arcana).

Do not worry, it is a very normal and legitimate fear but, yes there is a good one but, learning to read the Tarot does not mean knowing all the cards by heart, indeed the exact opposite.

Surely one must know the meanings of each Lama (another name of the Tarot) but the Cosmic Journey of Man must be learned.

Also because every Arcanum is a door, an archetype towards infinite meanings and infinite combinations, only by knowing the conceptual basis of the Cosmic Journey of Man, also called, according to some, the Journey of the Fool, will you be able to read the tarot, always, in every situation. and any kind of deck.

Learning to Read the Tarot: Meaning of the Cards

Knowing the Tarot Meaning is essential if you want to learn how to read the Tarot, you will have to learn the names, recognize the designs, note the characterizing elements and their position in the Cosmic Journey of Man.

For this you will not have to memorize all the meanings of each card, also because it is practically impossible given the immensity of each Arcanum.

Instead, it will be very useful for you to learn the key words for each Tarot, so that you can start experimenting with the readings and combinations of tarot cards (which is the most difficult part but we will see it together in due course).

It’s true, a lot of people turn to fortune tellers or card readers, but maybe if you’re reading this article it’s because you want to learn how to read cards for yourself.

I tell you that personally I am in favor, there is no risk or danger in doing so, you just need to be capable and learn to have the right detachment.

Where to start?

1. Choice of Deck

Being a passionate and collector of Tarot I love to talk about the choice of the Tarot Deck, I even dedicated an entire article to the choice of the Perfect Tarot deck.

Choosing the right Tarot deck is very important. It is normal that there are decks that resonate to you and that you feel attracted to and others that, although beautiful, are not for you.

Start from this, with the Tarot there must be attraction, when you choose them, let yourself be guided by instinct. There are those who look at the images and those who rely only on the title; those who choose them with their eyes closed (in the true sense of the word, looking at them with the 3rd eye) and those who receive them as a gift.

It is not important how the Tarot gets to you, the important thing is if they vibrate at your frequency, if they make you comfortable in reading, if they make you feel more confident because you clearly perceive their answers. Learning how to Read Tarot automatically becomes easier with the perfect tarot deck for you.

Don’t think that one deck is as good as another, because that’s not the case. Tarot cards are the extension of every reader’s hand, the more you feel the deck, the more your readings are accurate, simple, powerful and, why not, fun.

I still remember when my mother gave me my first Tarot deck, it was the gift for my 13th birthday, they were Tarot of Tradition and I still have them.

2. Sacralize / purify the deck

– Consecrate

To consecrate, from the Latin 🤬-sacer, means to make sacred. This is why consecrating your tarot deck is very important, because it is a rite, large or small, that makes your tarot cards sacred, at least for you. Furthermore, the sacralization of the Tarot allows you to create a unique bond between you and your cards that will recognize you and respond to you.

While the Consecration takes place only once, the purification of the Tarot deck is good to do often.

– Purification

Purifying serves to clean the cards, “degrease” them from all heavy, negative and residual energies. Purifying the Tarot for me is a bit like giving it an energy shower to wash away all the energy accumulation,

There are times that a light wipe with a delicate incense is enough and other times that a deeper purification will be needed that will make your Tarot like new.

For example, if you feel that your tarot cards are not responding well, first of all do a purification, they could just be a little overloaded or dirty, you will see that afterwards they will come back reliable and super precise.

Ideas for Consecration Rites

There are many consecration rites, such as:

sleep with the new Tarot under your pillow
pass them in the smoke of incense every day for 1 week
bless them with the 4 Elements
if you want you can create your own a consecration rite designed for your Tarot.

As for the incense for purification, you can choose eucalyptus for a lighter and rueful purification, salva bianca or Palo Santo for a more thorough purification.

How to read the Tarot: The Techniques

The techniques for reading Tarot and the methods of reading, called Stese, are endless, there are many to choose from and the better you become, the more you too can learn to create Tarot drafts.

For those who are at the beginning and want to understand how to read the Tarot it is good to know that among the most common methods there are:

the 3-card method (commonly called Past-Present-Future)
the 10 Card Celtic Cross method

Especially at the beginning many Tarot Readers use only the Major Arcana and that’s fine, then over time if you feel the need to “season” your readings with details then you can also include the Minor Arcana, you will see your readings get very enriched. In fact, while the Major Arcana represent the Archetypes of the Cosmic Journey of Man, the Minor Arcana specify the major ones, indicating people, particulates, shades, etc.

I advise you to use the entire Tarot deck consisting of 78 cards (22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana) ONLY if you know them, otherwise you just get confused.

Tarot spread: How to arrange the cards

Regardless of the chosen Tarot spread, 3-Card, Celtic Cross, etc. the fundamental thing is that the cards are always arranged from left to right, usually horizontally. If you think about it, it is said to read Tarot cards and just like a book it is read from left to right.

During a live reading, there are those who, after shuffling the cards, make them raise the cards to the Consultant and those who prefer not to let their tarot be touched, both are fine, the choice is entirely up to you.

Anyway, at the end of each divination (ie Tarot Reading) it is good to do a Tarot purification, even if only mild.

If, on the other hand, you carry out Tarot Readings online, obviously you cannot let the Consultant touch your cards, in this case you can start shuffling and ask him to tell you stop.

These are ways, for those who read from a distance to create a link, a contact with the Consultant, they are especially useful for those who are beginners and do not know how to do the Tarot, with time and practice everything will come more spontaneously.

First Interpretations

At this point, is it a bit clearer how to do a Tarot reading?

You just have to practice.

Every morning as soon as you wake up, take out a Tarot Card, it will be your Card of the Day, you can write it down in a Notebook or in the Tarot Diary (a very useful object for study and to monitor your progress) and use it both as a daily advice and to practice in the meaning and see that tarot at work. It could help you to prevent problems and unfortunate situations, it could advise you on the behavior to follow and then in the evening you can take stock and write all your reflections on the Tarot Diary.

Furthermore, whenever you have a question you would like to receive an answer you can ask it to the Cards, it is a great way to learn how to Read Tarot and to practice.

Remember: the clearer the question, the clearer the answer, the more generic and confusing the question, the more generic and confusing the answer will be.

To paraphrase an old saying: Clear question… long friendship!

Reading the Tarot: Some Tips

Practice / Try With Friends And Relatives

Try, try again, try, try again, try again. When my grandmother taught me to read tarot, she always told me: Nobody is born learned!

So offer to read the Tarot to friends and family, you will practice and they will be thrilled.

Little advice: do not force anyone, if you have people around you who are skeptical or who do not like the Tarot do not insist, you will see that in your circle of knowledge you will find more than one person enthusiastic about having the cards read by you.

“IT IS THE PROVINCE OF THE TAROT READER TO MOVE BACKWARDS, FORWARDS, EVEN SIDEWAYS IN TIME.” – AUTHOR: SASHA GRAHAM – MORE QUOTES

Get In Touch With Cards

Getting acquainted with cards is nice and fair. Spend time with your Tarot friends: take them one by one and observe them, hold them in your hand, look at the drawings and symbols, feel their energy and give them yours.

Then take the whole deck, close your eyes and bring the Tarot to your heart, pass it your affection and your trust and pronounce:

I trust you as you trust me!

Tell The Cards

A beautiful way to read tarot cards is to tell them, each Arcana is rich in symbols, dominant colors, characters and details. Immerse yourself in the world of each card, let yourself be carried away by its story and tell it. It is a good way to learn how to read cards.

Tarot Reading: Mistakes to Avoid

Don’t force the cards

This is a fundamental rule in order not to commit one of the typical mistakes of those who want to learn to read cards, but also treasure it during Tarot readings for other people. The Tarot must be respected, asking the same question continuously to try to receive the answer you want is a lack of respect for this sacred instrument, which you yourself have consecrated.

Also because the future is not engraved in the rock but each of us creates it day after day through our choices and actions, for this reason, what we need to do is to gratefully welcome the indications that the Tarot gives and treasure it so as to go. towards the desired result.

Watch out for Contamination

Tarot cards can be influenced by the Consultant, for this reason the Reader must be good at staying balanced, centered and having the right detachment. Obviously it is easier when you read the Tarot for others but with time you can learn how to do the Tarot with the right detachment even for yourself.

Pay attention to your state of mind

As we have just seen the Tarot can be contaminated by both the Consultant and the Reader, so it is always good to do a centering if you are too nervous, anxious, worried, etc., so as not to pass that energy to the Cards. Tarot cards respond to Universal Laws and therefore, by the Law of Reflection, they will mirror your sensations and by the Law of Attraction you will choose the card that will be attracted to your focus.

If you do not feel balanced and centered before a Tarot reading, do a meditation to rebalance yourself, your reading will benefit

Don’t Lie

I know, especially for those who are at the first readings, sometimes it is difficult to report what the Tarot says, but it does not concern you, when you read the cards you are a means through which the answer comes. It is essential that you always report, without changing it, the answer given by the tarot. You can find a gentle and gentle way but any answer comes, you as a Tarot Reader have a duty to report it and not to lie..

The Ouija Board, otherwise known as the Spirit Board or quite frankly, The Ouija Board, otherwise known as the Spirit Board or quite frankly,the Talking Board, is a flat board that is marked with the letters of the alphabet, as well as the numbers 0-9. This board also comes with a small heart-shaped wood piece called the Planchette which is used in seances whenever a spirit is said to write a message on the Ouija board. Ever since it's first appearance and the rise of its controversy, the Ouija board has been attacked by some religious groups who claim that these boards served as a means for demonic possession, and as a result, many of these boards were burned in huge bonfires alongside the Harry Potter books in countries such as Alamogordo, New Mexico.Following its commercial introduction by businessman Elijah Bond on July 1, 1890, the Ouija board, despite its unspecified real origins and first creation within China in the year 551 B.C., was regarded as a parlor game unrelated to the occult until American spiritualist Pearl Curran popularized its use as a divining tool during World War I.Spiritualists believed that the dead were able to contact the living and reportedly used a talking board very similar to a modern Ouija board at their camps in Ohio in 1886 to ostensibly enable faster communication with spirits.Since early in the Ouija board's history, it has been criticized by several Christian groups including Roman Catholics. Catholic Answers, a Christian apologetics organization, states that "The Ouija board is far from harmless, as it is a form of divination (seeking information from supernatural sources).".In 2001, Ouija boards were burned in Alamogordo, New Mexico, by fundamentalist groups alongside Harry Potter books as "symbols of witchcraft." Religious criticism has also expressed beliefs that the Ouija board reveals information which should only be in God's hands, and thus it is a tool of Satan. A spokesperson for Human Life International described the boards as a portal to talk to spirits and called for Hasbro to be prohibited from marketing them.Bishops in Micronesia called for the boards to be banned and warned congregations that they were talking to demons and devils when using the boards.

Practicing divination -Dagua in Chinese

2022-04-17 12:36:47 UTC

In Buddhism, there is a special way of divination when predicting the future, in addition to the use of magical powers by people with practice certificates. There are many divination rituals handed down by Tibetan masters in Tibet, which are often based on Manjusri Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva. Some need to be supplemented with certain tools. According to the procedures required by the rituals, one can clearly and accurately predict a person's life span, the source of disease, the good and bad luck of repairing a house and going out. Considering some errors in operation, the general accuracy can be more than 90%.

If the mind is pure and used properly, divination is legal. In history, many eminent monks and virtues also use divination to judge. Maipeng Rinpoche has specially written a monograph of divination with more than 600 pages. Zen master Yixing, the national master of the Tang Dynasty, was also proficient in this way and left a "Dharma palm Sutra". According to this book, one can accurately calculate the good and bad luck in one's life. Not only in Buddhism, but also in the world, many celebrities have left their prediction methods or results, such as Liu Bowen, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, predicted major events since the Ming Dynasty, such as the invasion of China by the Eight Power Allied forces and the war of resistance against Japan.Based on the book of changes, they rehearse and calculate the ever-changing world.

The Chinese words "feng" and "shui" translate to mean “wind” and “water," respectively. This concept derived from an ancient poem that talks about human life being connected and flowing with the environment around it.What Is Feng Shui?The philosophy of feng shui is a practice of arranging the pieces in living spaces in order to create balance with the natural world. The goal is to harness energy forces and establish harmony between an individual and their environment.In Asian culture, this philosophy is called the Tao, which translates to mean “the way." Taoism is the way of nature and all the basic principles of feng shui reflect nature. Take a look at the essential principles of feng shui: the commanding position, the bagua, and the five elements. The Commanding PositionThe commanding position is the spot in a room that is the furthest from the door and not in direct line with it. It puts you diagonal to the door. Ideally, you should have a clear line of sight to the door.The commanding position is where you want to spend most of your time when you are in that room. Feng shui guidelines suggest you determine this dominant position in the room, then place your bed, your desk, or your stove in diagonal alignment, if you can. These three parts of your house are critical since each represents an essential part of your life. The bed stands for you, the desk is an extension of your career, and the stove represents your wealth and nourishment.
