Jan-Ulrich Sobisch offers a thorough discussion of Chinese, Indian, Turkic, and Tibetan traditions of divination, its techniques, rituals, tools, and poetic language. Interviews with Tibetan masters of divination introduce the main part with a translation of a dice divination manual of the deity Achi that is still part of a living tradition. Solvej Nielsen contributes further interviews, a m?l? divination of T?r? and its oral tradition, and very useful glossaries of the terminology of Tibetan divination and fortune telling. Appendices provide lists of deities and spirits and of numerous identified ritual remedies and supports that are an essential element of a still vibrant Tibetan culture. 410 0$aPrognostication in History;$vvolume1. 606 $aDivination$zTibet Region 606 $aFortune-telling by dice$zTibet Region 606 $aA-phyi Chos-kyi-sgrol-ma (Buddhist deity) 615 0$aDivination 615 0$aFortune-telling by dice 615 0$aA-phyi Chos-kyi-sgrol-ma (Buddhist deity) 676 $a133.3 701 $aHyveled Nielsen$b Solvej$f1987-$01524263 702 $aSobisch$b Jan-Ulrich 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795312803321 996 $aDivining with Achi and Ta?ra?$93765010 997 $aUNINA
