Casting Methods Overview

Methods

• Yarrow stalks: the classic Da Yan procedure yields the 1:5:7:3 distribution.
• Three coins: faster and more accessible with a 1:3:3:1 distribution.

Etiquette

Stay sincere, ask clear questions, record results, and review them. Divination should be rooted in virtue rather than obsession.
