Chinese Fortune Sticks - Fortune Telling


This is the most recent method of fortune telling I have come across, and I think one of the most detailed. For this you will need to buy the fortune sticks and the book explaining the answer to each stick ( the one in the picture is the one I have)
This is an ancient Chinese way of telling fortune, on each stick there is a number. You find the number of the stick in the book and there will be quite a detailed answer.

The Method
It is good to take a few moments to clear your head, do this however you need. By breathing deeply or simply sitting quietly for a few minutes. You need to know two things. Whether you already know the answer to the question you are about to ask and what you want the answer to be. You have to really try and dismiss the desired outcome you want because it could affect the fortunes telling. You have to be able to accept the answer the sticks give you whether it is the answer you wanted or not.
After preparing your head take the shaker (the container holding the sticks) in both your hands. Angle it so it is facing around ninety degrees upwards. (If you get the kit pictured there is a diagram in the book showing you how to do this)
Begin to shake the container while asking your question, then slowly,whilst shaking, turn the container upright so only a few of the sticks are poking out.
Take the stick that is poking out the furthest, this is your answer.

Enjoy using this method of fortune telling (:
