Casting Lots: Ancient Hebrew Divination Magic by Elisheva Nesher

Discover a divination practice built around the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. In Casting Lots: Ancient Hebrew Divination Magic, Elisheva Nesher presents her reconstruction of Hebrew lot-casting and explains how to make, cast and interpret a set of letter-marked discs.

Beyond a list of symbols

The guide explores the mystical and everyday meanings of each lot, then connects the practice with meditation, ritual and the author's approach to Hebrew spirits, including Asherah. A brief introduction provides context for readers unfamiliar with these beings.

A focused choice for readers interested in alternative divination systems or modern Hebrew Pagan practice. This is a practical spiritual manual, not a general introduction to Jewish religious observance. Foreword by Diana L. Paxson.
