Excellent resource

I will keep this and refer to it frequently. I am also going to purchase a copy for a friend of mine. It's fun, the pictures are beautiful, and it's full of facts. I have enjoyed thumbing through it and look forward to refering to it in the future.

Great book for Those interested in Divination

For someone new to divination or merely curious about it or wanting a very brief history this is the book for you. It lightly touches upon many various methods of divination and gives an informative albeit brief history behind the various methods of divination. this book has a new home onmy living-room coffee table. Everyone has to pick it up and peruse it for a while whenever they sit down. A definate Great Buy.

wonderful!

This book is very comprehensive for a book that doesn't cover just one specific topic. It has a lot of beautiful illustrations and covers a lot of really interesting topics that I haven't found covered in other books. Overall it is verrrrrrrry interesting and wonderful to read.

WOW! AWESOME BOOK! GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT IDEA!

This book is definately a great resource - I find myself picking it up each and every day to learn about new bits of information. I love learning more about horoscopes and numerology. Did you know that Madonna believes in numerology as well? Her favorite numbers are 1, 7, 9, and 13. Those songs on her Ray of Light cd are the BEST!Anyway, this is a great book and truly a value. A lot of spirit and creativity went into the design of this book. Kudos to Ann Fiery and Chronicle Books!A perfect gift for those interested in metaphysics!

I absolutely Love this book!

Beautifully illustrated with rich vintage images and gorgeous symbols of divination, this new title kept me enthralled for hours, browsing through the Astrology signs, working up my personal numerology, and learning about Tarot. I was shocked to see such a low price in this age of $60 coffee table books for something I could really use and find so visually captivating. Not only is The Book of Divination a great find for myself but I recommend it to everyone who reads their horoscope or wonders how the future tells you its secrets!
