Book Description

May 8, 1995
This text focuses on the most important and practical methods of divination in the Celtic and druidic traditions. It features a system of divining using the druidic Ogham characters, and "Arthurian divination" which employs a geomantic oracle called druid sticks. The druid sticks have 16 formations which include: the way, the dragon's head, the girl, and major fortune. Even if you have no knowledge or experience with any form of divination, this book will show you how to create and use the 25 Ogham "fews" and the druid sticks immediately to gain accurate and helpful insights into your life. It covers divination through sky stones, touchstones, bodhran drums and other means, with details on how to make these objects and sample readings to supplement the text. Also included are chapters on history, lives and philsophy of the Celts and druids.

Amazon.com Review

From the Celts of Europe and Asia, Webster has gleaned time-tested and practical methods of divination, from the simplicity of the Druid-sticks to the intricacies of the Oghams. Omens, Oghams & Oracles is an excellent source for the beginning or the experienced prognosticator. Readers will find, as I quickly did, that the methods described not only give insight to the future, but lead to a deeper understanding of how nature and spirit are connected.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent general resource., June 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Omens, Oghams & Oracles: Divination in the Druidic Tradition (Paperback)
An excellent book covering several sources of Celtic and Indo-European divination systems. The information on Oghams is quite satifactory to learn and get started. The information of geomancy is indispensible for those interested in the divination, and not the endless rhetoric and lore attributed to the classical ceremonial application. The sky stones are an excellent simple divination tool. (An interesting footer note, in the book the author claims to always carry his sky stones, but when asked in person, he didn't have them. The author is a scholar, not necessarily a widely practiced adept, though this takes nothing away from his work!)

This review is from: Omens, Oghams & Oracles: Divination in the Druidic Tradition (Paperback)
If I could give zero stars I would. I know a lot about the subject of this book, and even when I did not, I bought this book and threw it down in disgust. It is bare of facts, poorly written, and your typical Llwellyn fare from the 1990's.

Friends don't let friends read this sort of tripe!

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware!!, February 6, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Omens, Oghams & Oracles: Divination in the Druidic Tradition (Paperback)
I picked this book up in the bookstore one day. The title sounded great. I turned to a section were he discussed using a bodhran (a celtic drum) in a spell and I realized that he must never have tried it himself since a bodhran has at least one or two cross pieces which would make it impossible to use as he described. Maybe I'm picky but I won't buy or recommend a cookbook where I knew the receipes hadn't been kitchen tested. I decided to save my money.
