Wisdom Sticks were an ancient form of fortune telling comprising 4 sticks of wood, each had one vertical line etched on one side and two lines on the other side. All 4 sticks were thrown at once (as with Runes Stones) and then lined up next to each other to display a series of marks and it was the combination of marks which gave the reading. As the ancients only used 4 sticks (marked on both sides) there could only ever be 16 permutations and thus meanings.
It is important to understand that, as with the Runes, Tarot and Ogham, with the Wisdom Sticks you can ask for a problem to be clarified or a message of wisdom given - rather than simply seeking an answer to a question. The Wisdom Sticks can give insight to an issue of concern. Sometimes they can lighten particular aspects of a situation and at other times they can provide advice related to the general energies of what is happening in life or what is important to look at or to work upon. If the Wisdom Sticks suggests change do something positive about it. If they suggest you do nothing, take heed, for the Wisdom Sticks always gives clear pointers. However, the Wisdom Sticks will not state any definitive, unchangeable event. Their message may often be necessarily vague, as it is important for you to make up your own mind about a matter. Specific questions are very difficult to answer, and the Wisdom Sticks should be used as a guideline rather than a hard and fast way to behave. So, rather than ask 'Will I win the Lottery?', the Wisdom Sticks will be more productive if you ask something like 'How can I improve my financial situation?'.
Before you consult the Wisdom Sticks, take a few moments to relax, breathe deeply and concentrate on your question. When you are ready consult the Wisdom Sticks and your reading will appear. Please bear in mind that the Wisdom Sticks will become tired if asked many questions - resulting in the same combination of Wisdom Sticks consistently appearing. If this happens, come back later and ask again. ['Pop-ups' must be enabled on your computer to view these]
