Publisher's Synopsis
Lots are an ancient Hebrew form of divination and magic. A set of lots contains twenty-two small discs with each one bearing one of the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. In a manner similar to runes, these lots are then cast and interpreted. Though lots were once so common that explanations of how to cast them were unnecessary, over the centuries their methods and uses fell into disuse. Author and seer Elisheva Nesher has reconstructed the ancient art of lot casting for modern times. CASTING LOTS contains explanations for each of the twenty-two lots, exploring their meanings, both mystical and mundane. It also includes detailed instructions on how to cast as well as craft your own set of lots. In addition to divination, CASTING LOTS explores the magical gifts of the lots, such as healing, blessing, and cursing, as well as how to use them to contact and interact with the Hebrew spirits, such as Asherah. (A brief guide is included for those unfamiliar with these spirits.) CASTING LOTS is a complete instruction manual for mastering the art of lot casting.
