I'm still consulting the oracle on a fairly regular basis. I'm so happy I discovered them at the bookstore that day!

Congratulations on all the hits!

... just yesterday the site passed the 1 million hits on the Oracle page!

Oh cool! An' I was there yesterday too to help boost it over this Major Marker of Website Success!!

I've been getting pretty good feelings about my new SS and tarot idea - I'll post it shortly in the tarot spreads forum under Sabian Symbols and Tarot #1.

Have a great day!

Just wanted to also post. I hadn't even heard of Sabian Symbols until Lynda's fascinating post in the thread about Elven & Helvetica's similar dreams... the imagery evoked by the symbols that came up there (for example, A Massive Rocky Shore Resists the Pounding of the Sea - so dramatic!) attracted me to finding out more - however, I wonder if I would have been as equally drawn to it if "fat boy mowing the lawn" had come up!
I have added Lynda's book to my wishlist at Amazon and hope to be able to get it soon...it does sound wonderful to work with from what I've read here.

I also just asked the oracle on her website...with the incredibly obscure question of "What is my calling?" (Well, I couldn't think of anything else!) Remarkably, the answer was Sagittarius 30 - The Pope Blessing the Faithful, and the first thing that popped into my head was that I'm Sagittarius. The second thing that I thought was that the Pope came up and The Hierophant has been appearing a lot for me lately in Tarot readings in terms of "what I'm becoming" etc. I understand that these are superficial connections, but they were my immediate reactions. The text supplied seems to have a lot of depth and I have copied it down and I'm going to think about it and see what I can make of it...

Fascinating stuff!

One last post here!! (yeah, right!)

My book arrived today and it is just so fascinating - having all these wonderful images all in a row; can flip through and stop when one stands out.

I made up cards from playing card decks for now, one red one blue, as I don't want to cut the cards out just yet. I also have some other ideas I want to explore. Anyway -

I, too, had not heard of Sabian Symbols (a google search yielded symbols for a drum setup on eBay!!!) and like many of you, was hooked. I am a visual person, and images second - think I posted that recently on a tarot thread. Wow - does it ever apply to what Lynda has put together in this book form. Read a discription - "see" how it forms in my inner vision. I was an only child (hmmm ... still am) and I've read books all my life. (Mostly lived where there was no TV until 7th grade probably helped.) I like "hard copy" and DO NOT like reading off a computer screen. Like in Ebooks.

Anyway, this is right up my alley!!! I am so tickled to have found these ... or have had them find me. However that works ... !!

Well - off to the Divination thread to meet up with OakDragon (his image is a squirrel - you know, the dragon of oak trees?? Didn't make the connection until today!!

Happy Week to everyone!

Sabian Symbol Chips

I just finished making myself some Sabian Symbol "chips", because I really didnt want to play with the cards anymore and wanted something easier to handle. I bought some wood chips at a craft store.. they are round, roughly the size of a quarter. 12 of them are marked with the astrological glyphs on them (used a sharpee - blue color) and then 30 other chips are marked 1 - 30, with a pink sharpee. The 12 astrology sign chips are in a separate bag from the 30 number chips. I pull out an astrological sign and then go to the other bag and pull out a number. Works really well!

Anyway, just thought I'd share. Maybe you can try this too, as an alternative to the cards in the book or using playing cards or index cards.

What a great idea!!!

Sunflowr,
this is a brilliant idea! I bet they look gorgeous and are really easy to use. Maybe you could post that idea on Lyndas website. Im sure others would love that idea.
I sometimes see the Symbols in different forms also - but more like pentacles in the Gilded tarot - with 5 edges metal and engraved.

Thanks for sharing that, I think its wonderful.

Many blessings

Chips

WOW - the chips ARE a fantastic idea! My friend is drawing all the symbols I think she has done about 30 now.. but the chips idea - how easy would taht be...

thank you

Sabian Symbols

Hi Lynda! I went looking for something to generate
a random set of numbers "just to see" if it would be
good with your Sabian Symbols Oracle and I found
I preferred your suggested methods much better!

One thing I do sometimes with the Sabian Symbols
is use just cards number 1 though 30 from a deck
of Madame Leanormand cards...

I roll a single die and see if it is odd or even.
Odd: roll again and use that number with a card
Even: roll again and add 6 and use it with a card

So it's always 1 to 12 and 1 to 30 to reach the page.

Cheers!

Ohhh!!! I'll try that Fulgour!

Im up for any new methods - how do you find it works? What sort of questions do you use it for?

Blessings
