Critics Review
“Anyone interested in divination will be fascinated by the revival of this lost ancient treasure. Painstakingly reconstructed by Kostas Dervenis, Oracle Bones Divination is a remarkable and significant achievement, both accessible and accurate. I was hooked from the start.” * Josephine Ellershaw, author of the Easy Tarot series *
“Oracle Bones Divination is an informative exploration of an ancient oracular system, easily adapted through the use of coins for modern diviners. Dervenis provides a solid and interesting background of the astragali, and the interpretations retain their classical flavor while being relevant for the current time.” * Anastasia S. Haysler, president of Tarot Media Company *
