Kawaru

Kawaru was the use of small stones, sticks, or coins for divination purposes. Some called it peasant magic, but one who read them well might learn much about his future. Kawaru Coins (Dark Allies flavor) Shugenja families as the Soshi found it reliable, Preparations, Part I, by Rusty Priske and Shawn Carman and it was very popular among the Dragon Clan. Masters of Magic, p. 19
== Creation ==
This foretelling folk magic was devised by Isawa Teruyo in the 3rd century, and it was described in the writings Kawaru. Winter Court:Kyuden Asako, p. 53
=== System ===
It was based upon six-lined figures known as hexagrams. The system began with a ceremony of ritual purification; then a casting of stones or sticks randomly determined a hexagram that pertained to the caster, known as Itako. Each hexagram was associated with a particular course of action, symbol, or virtue. By correctly interpreting the results, the caster could read the future while learning something about his own personality.
