Description: "A contemporary oracle designed to introduce the venerable tradition of oracular consultation to a much wider readership. This work features an original, pristine oracular text, contains helpful, fascinating chapters on consulting methodology and "why oracles work," as well as a chapter in which the Oracle prognosticates as to its own future as an oracle ("The Oracle Speaks! [...about itself...]"). A "Table of Correspondences," linking oracular passages to passages from the venerable I Ching, is also included. The Living Oracle can facilitate remarkably fruitful forays into the realm of soul and psyche on the part of its readers and consulters." -- description taken from publisher website.
