A fun, easy, and insightful oracle

I really liked this. *Celtic Oracles* works a lot like the I Ching; you throw coins, and based on how many heads and tails you get, the book directs you to a specific message. Unlike the I Ching, though, the messages are all based on Celtic archetypes and symbols, like "Hag the Initiator", "The Wondrous Child", "Sacred Wells", and so on. Each message is illustrated with a pretty black-and-white drawing, and contains a lot of background about the symbol or archetype. Then it tells you what the symbol means in terms of the reading. *Celtic Oracles* has a feminist slant, just for your information. It also acknowledges both Christianity and Paganism. Coming from either point of view, anyone interested in applying Celtic archetypes to her/his life will enjoy this.

IT ALL COMES TO PASS

When I first got this book, it sat on a shelve for a better part of two months. Suddenly, I got an urge to actually give it a try. It has been the best decision I have ever made. From the very first time I used it, everything it predicted came true literally. At frist I thought it might be coincidence, but experience was to prove me wrong.Read this book, for it will be the best investment you will ever make.

Original and very imaginative

Rosemarie Anderson adds a valuable contribution to the subject of occult divination in this adaptation of the ancient Chinese I-Ching. Using two coins and 64 possible combinations, Anderson skillfully explains the divinatory possibilities of the ancient Celtic archetypes. The major contribution of her book is that it makes the classic I-Ching much more accessible to Western readers, and is a beautifully illustrated and well-written book. I bought 3 copies to give friends. Valuable and very interesting.
