Incomplete

Listing says this comes w the sticks. It doesn’t . I Eve. Paid extra to get the very good condition one, but still incomplete item. This is only the book

Missing 64 sticks

Wouldn't you assume sticks would come with the book as the description describes: "With Chinese Fortune Sticks, today's truth-seekers can once again consult with the spirit world. After addressing a question to the heavens, the supplicant places the 64 sticks" Other books on the site list "book only"

FORTUNE ON A STICK

I throughly enjoyed this book and fortune telling kit set. It's the only book that I've seen that covers one of the most authentic and oldest Chinese divination methods . The book covers the historical background of the divination stick methods and has several interesting tidbits on Chinese religion, the way of the Tao, Ying and Yang, and plus readings from the I-Ching. You do not have to believe in the Chineses deities to enjoy the book set.
