New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| The Oracle at Praeneste, which belonged to the goddess Fortuna, was a very popular shrine in Italy. On April 11, people would travel to the shrine to have their questions answered by a drawing oak slips from a jar. You can have fun with this tradition by doing a little divination of your own.
On slips of paper write four "yes" responses and four "no" responses. On the back of each, draw wheel with eight spokes - Fortuna's symbol. Fold the papers, drop them in a decorative jar or bowl, and mix them. Light some frakincense incense and a white candle. Then, petition Fortuna with these words: Lady Fortuna smile upon me, I ask you sincerely these questions three Ask three questions, one at a time, and draw an answer for each question. |
