Product Story

These are the Buddhist fortune-telling sticks named after Kuan Yin, the Buddhist goddess of mercy. Exclusively available from Hammacher Schlemmer, these sticks provide the oldest known method of fortune telling, dating back 18 centuries to the Jin Dynasty. One poses a question to an ancient deity, tilts the cylinder, and gently shakes until unseen forces cause one of the flat bamboo sticks to drop upon the floor. Each one of the fortune sticks contain a different Chinese character that corresponds to a mystic proverb, warning, or blessing that informs a curious mortal of what the fates have planned. Includes 120 fortune sticks, cylinder canister, and a parchment book of translated oracles. 7 1/2" L x 3 1/4" Diam. (1 lb.)
