The Diviner's Handbook: Writings on Ancient and Modern Divination Practices

Divination has ancient roots, but is very much alive in modern times. The new anthology  The Diviner’s Handbook  includes a "first look" at Earth Oracle, a set of interpretive cards by Pegi Eyers. Published by Bibliotheca Alexandrina, editor Robert Scott  has compiled a wonderful collection of essays, prayers, artwork and poetry that engage with both ancient and modern divination practices, techniques, systems and beliefs.

A Set of Interpretive Cards by Pegi Eyers

The challenge we face today is how to shift away  from western thinking to a pre-colonial worldview. To address this dilemma, author Pegi Eyers has designed a brand-new 72-card deck Earth Oracle, that provides “primal storytelling” prompts for both individuals and group gatherings. In animist societies, telling stories is a sacred act linking us to our Ancestors and the ecology of the wild. The intention with the Earth Oracle is to gather out on the land and pass the prompt cards around the circle. Participants create and share stories that relate to the cards they have been given or selected. Often taking the form of a poem, song or chant, the storyteller’s imagination stimulates the participants to visualize the tale, each in their own unique way. As an old, widespread and much-loved practice, the narrative art of storytelling is being restored today, and tools like Earth Oracle are part of that revival!
​

The Diviner’s Handbook is not a typical how-to manual. Instead of focusing on how to be a diviner, it is a collection of prayers for guidance, poems for inspiration, warnings as reminders of our responsibilities, and meditations on the oracular arts.  Drawing on techniques as varied as augury, bone casting, cartomancy, ogham and runelore, there is something here for everyone.  It is the publisher's wish that The Diviner’s Handbook will become a trusted companion for oracular work of all kinds. And may that work be insightful, inspirational, and full of hope!
