Titania’s Oraqle

On a whim, I purchased Titania’s Oraqle yesterday. It’s a book that tells your fortune in this fashion:

1. You find the question on the front flap that most closely matches what you want to know. There are 100 listed, and they cover the gamut from “Am I right to be cautious of …?” to “What does my future husband look like?” Make note of the number of your question.
2. You place your hand over a wheel with 13 iconic symbols in it. Things like an eyeball, a shovel, a paper hat, etc. You close your eyes, and wait for your finger to be drawn to a specific area of the page. Remember which picture you selected.
3. On the back flap, is a table that tells you what page to read, based on your question number and selected symbol. That page has your answer.

Make sense? So, for instance… I want to know how our weekly tarot get-together will go. I look over the list of questions, and see a few relevant ones. Let’s select question 17, “Will I have a successful meeting?” Ok. I put my hand over the symbol wheel, and think of my question. I wait for my hand to be drawn to an area of the page with my eyes closed, and I select: the candle. I go to the back, and see that question 17 for the candle is on page 53. My answer is:

Not perfectly. Another party will be heavily preoccupied.

Pretty cool, huh? It is not the most deep or serious divination method, obviously, but everyone I show it to has fun with it.

I don’t normally go for things like this, honestly. But, I did two questions in the bookstore, and both times I was sent to page 88. I took that as a sign.
