Product Description

Kuan Yin, the ancient Chinese goddess of Compassion, is the principal deity in the Eastern firmament. Wherever there are Chinese- or Japanese-speaking people in the world, Kuan Yin’s image can be found, and the ritual of consulting her has brought solace, hope, and insight to countless people. In Stephen Karcher’s interpretation of this ancient text, he presents “The 100 Poems of the Goddess” in an insightful, extremely easy-to-use form. Simply ask the oracle a question, and by opening your heart to the answer, you allow yourself to be “re-arranged” by the symbol or figure Kuan Yin gives you. Then turn to the page for that symbol, where you will find instructions to help you focus your energy and choose the right path to an answer.

Customer Reviews

It is amazingly accurate, for me at least.5
Although I was initially disappointed there were no sticks, my desire to learn this oracle system gave me impetus to go to Chinatown and ask around. (I live in San Francisco so I may have a lil advantage). They sell sticks of fate there with the bamboo cup. If you can't locate that you can a) get bamboo skewer sticks, paint them red on one tip (as the book says) and number them from 1-100 on the other end. find a cup (bamboo preferable)to place them in. You then cast the sticks. simple, or.. b)make a 100 cards and create symbolic art that pertains to the cards meaning. i recommended smudging/cleansing/invoking your oracle tools every time you use them. Every time i cast this oracle Kwan Yin lends me her pearl. It is amazingly accurate, for me at least.

so where's the "oracle" part?1
Ok, I got the book, but where's the statue and the oracle sticks?
What a rip off!

Rip Off....1
Ok, so the book itself is good for people interested in working with the 100 poems of Quan Yin. Only one problem...there is no statue or oracle sticks included with the book. So unless you want to make your own sticks, I would forego buying this book.
