The Tibetan Oracle: Ancient Wisdom for Everyday Guidance Hardcover – July 21, 1998

by Roger Housden (Author)

4.3 8 ratings

Tibetan culture has honored the divinatory arts for millennia. In the 12th century, one ancient system known as Mo was recorded on a manuscript. Mo was used by monks to answer the urgent practical questions of laypeople. Now, translated into English for the first time, this medieval text is available as a decision-making guide for modern readers.

Many divination systems give answers that are cryptic and hard to decipher. The Tibetan Oracle gives clear direction on whether it would be wise to pursue a given action or not, and what the consequences of the action are likely to be. The esoteric knowledge of the Tibetans taught them that nature is constantly changing. Going against the elemental forces, personified by four gods (Yama/Wind, Agni/Fire, Varuna/Water, and Indra/Earth), could mean disaster, while taking advantage when these forces are favorable results in success. Use this oracle to help you with decision-making, from whether to take a new job or relocate to when to invest or ask for a raise. Timing is everything, so let this oracle show you when to act--and when not to.

Way overpriced for what you get

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2021

This book is extremely brief. It could probably fit on a dozen or so type-written letter-sized double-sided pages -- about the length of a college term paper. The included dice are unique and rather nice. For the price I paid, I was expecting much more information about Tibetan oracles.

Accurate and Powerful Oracle

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2005

This is a very easy to use little oracle book. Don't worry about carving your own dice, like it suggests in the book, but follow its directions of using two coins instead. I tried this method and it works very well. Just be sure to warm up the coins in your hand before tossing them to impart your energy on them and concentrate on your question or issue. I find it also helps in any situation like this to call upon your guides, angels, God, Buddha, whatever you want to call them, before using this oracle. I've been amazed at its accuracy and insight so far. My only concern would be that with it being such a small book, if you over-used it, the answers may become a little repetitive. Just use it sparingly, for the questions/issues that really matter to you.

This is the book I wanted all right but part of the set is that it is supposed to come with small divining sticks as part of the oracle and they were missing.
So I can't use it. Very disappointed because I was going to give it as a gift.
