Good Fortune and How to Attract It ~ Book Review

Book Review by Dawn "Belladonna" Thomas
Good Fortune and How to Attract It
by Titania Hardie
ISBN: 978-1-84400-577-2

When I was asked to review this book I was very excited. The book is written using a more modern and updated form of I Ching. I have been intrigued with this form of divination for quite a while but could not connect with the traditional method. Included in the book are three coins - each with a sun on one side and a moon on the other.

There are 64 forecasts in the book but before you can throw the three coins readers need to do is determine their personal profile. In my example I happen to be WIND since I am a first daughter and since I am also a Mother I am also associated with EARTH. The next thing I did was find where my birthday fell. Since my birthday is in December I am Autumn Wind (for first daughter) and Autumn Earth (for Mother). Once my personal profile was complete I asked my first question. I was amazed with the accuracy of the answer.

I tried it several more times and was satisfied with the results. The information in the forecasts is well thought out and in depth. I like the way Ms. Hardie refers to the Elements and the Seasons in the personality profile and the forecasts. It makes the throws that much more personal. The graphics in the book are very pleasing and can be used to meditate on the forecast. The forecast pages are color coded with the Elements and Seasons. It makes it easier to determine the greater personal relevance of the forecast for the reader. This is determined if you have one or two aspects in a reading.

Although it is a small book it is full of a lot of good quality reading. I highly recommend it for anyone that would like to delve into the realm of I-Ching.
