Good Omens...And Bad: Prophecy in Theory and Practice, Lab Nine

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Friday, November 10, Second Period

Along with the usual spread of hot drinks and pastries, there are carefully arranged boxes of little coins, sticks, and other sundry divination accoutrements.

"Today we're doing an exercise in a specific type of bibliomancy, divination through the I Ching. There are a number of ways to accomplish this, some of them quite complex. For today's lab exercise, you're going to work with your partner and these handouts. Choose a casting method and try a few passes to see what you come up with.

"There will be no homework assignment today, unless you count my expectation of seeing all of you on the bus this afternoon for our field trip."

Anders was using the coins to do Pyramid play diagrams on his notebook as he waited for John. What? They worked.

John looked over at the diagrams. "What's that?"

"Just working on a new idea for a offensive play," Anders said absently, rearranging a couple of coins. "Kind of hard to tell how well it'd actually work on the court, though. So, you wanna get some of this casting stuff done?"
