Let me state up front that I don't think that divination systems can reveal your destiny. What I do think is that they are ways that human beings map rich insights into human psychology on to symbol systems. These systems can then be used to gain insight into your own actions and sometimes into why other people around you are acting the way they are. This book, which has the appearance of a coffee table book with little information, actually provides a very good overview of the multitude of divination systems that humans have used. It also gives an overview of what the symbols in systems like the Tarot, the I Ching and Runes mean. I found this very useful for developing my own personal divination system. I think it would be useful to most people who wanted an overview of the topic. ( )
