Divination-the art of attempting to determine future events by the interpretation of omens and signs-is as old as mankind itself. It is a natural response to anxiety and uncertainty about our futures and may be found in one form or another in virtually all human societies, East and West, ancient and modern.
The Chinese art of body divination remains actively practiced today in several Asian countries. The art attracted interest as the New Age movement developed in the West in the late 20th century, yet to date, aside from the present volume, no comprehensive treatment of this subject is available in English.The American folklorist William Lessa undertook the study of Chinese body divination prior to its popularization in the West. Drawing on ancient Chinese texts and first-hand experience in Taiwan, Lessa's treatment of the subject, now available in this new, improved edition, offers an authoritative review of this ancient art, shedding light on its origins, development and practice. The volume concludes with an extensive comparison between Eastern and Western divination practices.
