  • DIVINATION SYSTEMS Written by Nicole Yalsovac Additional Sections Contributed by Sean Michael Smith and Christine Breese, D.D
    DIVINATION SYSTEMS Written by Nicole Yalsovac Additional sections contributed by Sean Michael Smith and Christine Breese, D.D. Ph.D. Introduction Nichole Yalsovac Prophetic revelation, or Divination, dates back to the earliest known times of human existence. The oldest of all Chinese texts, the I Ching, is a divination system older than recorded history. James Legge says in his translation of I Ching: Book Of Changes (1996), “The desire to seek answers and to predict the future is as old as civilization itself.” Mankind has always had a desire to know what the future holds. Evidence shows that methods of divination, also known as fortune telling, were used by the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Babylonians and the Sumerians (who resided in what is now Iraq) as early as six‐thousand years ago. Divination was originally a device of royalty and has often been an essential part of religion and medicine. Significant leaders and royalty often employed priests, doctors, soothsayers and astrologers as advisers and consultants on what the future held. Every civilization has held a belief in at least some type of divination. The point of divination in the ancient world was to ascertain the will of the gods. In fact, divination is so called because it is assumed to be a gift of the divine, a gift from the gods. This gift of obtaining knowledge of the unknown uses a wide range of tools and an enormous variety of techniques, as we will see in this course. No matter which method is used, the most imperative aspect is the interpretation and presentation of what is seen.

  • Shadow of the Demon Lord: Mortals of Urth by Iganon
    Shadow of the Demon Lord: Mortals of Urth By IGanon In the beginning, there was God, all-powerful, infinite, and alone. Craving companionship, God spoke the first words of power and created the Demiurge and was satisfied. The Demiurge, an extension of God, begun to crave more and more, and so spoke the words of power to create millions of genies from its own body. These genies in turn spoke the words of power and plundered the body of God to create worlds and stars without number, creating an entire multiverse. Yet the more the genies took from God, the more God diminished, and what was once all-powerful, and infinite grew weak and limited, having both substance and form stolen. Not content with stealing from God, the genies stole from the Demiurge too, taking so much the Demiurge split into innumerable fragments. The Divine, reduced to little more than a creature of spite and hatred, was reduced to a mad thing lurking in the void between universes, left only with spite, hatred and the insane craving to undo everything that had been done. It was God no longer, now it is the Demon Lord. The innumerable fragments of what once was the Demiurge, still an extension of the Demon Lord, became the first demons, flitting from world to world, wreaking havoc and devastation and preparing each world for the arrival of the Hunger in the Void, the Demon Lord. The universe that contains the planet Urth, this reality, is the latest one to fall under the Shadow of the Demon Lord.

    The Effects of Superstition as Destination Attractiveness on Behavioral Intention Yunzhou Zhang Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Hospitality and Tourism Management Muzaffer Uysal, Committee Chair Ken McCleary Vincent P. Magnini May 2, 2012 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: destination attractiveness, superstition attitude, behavioral intention, superstition as destination attractiveness (SADA) The Effects of Superstition as Destination Attractiveness on Behavioral Intention Yunzhou Zhang ABSTRACT Superstitious beliefs date back thousands of years and continue to the present, and research suggests that superstitious beliefs have a robust influence on product satisfaction and decision making under risk. The study therefore examines how superstition attitude will impact potential tourists’ intention to visit a destination so that relevant organizations (e.g. destination management/marketing organizations) could better understand potential tourists’ behaviors, identify a niche market encompassing those prone to superstition, and tailor the tourism products to the needs and beliefs of potential tourists. The study used a survey instrument which consists of four components: the scale of Superstition as Destination Attractiveness (SADA), the revised Paranormal Belief Scale, the measurement of Intention to Visit, and respondents’ demographics and travel experiences. A mixed-method data collection procedure was adopted

    Originalveröffentlichung in: G. Leick (Hrsg), The Babylonian World, New York/London, 2007, S. 361-372 CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE DIVINATION CULTURE AND THE HANDLING OF THE FUTURE Stefan M. Maul n omen is a clearly defined perception understood as a sign pointing to future A events whenever it manifests itself under identical circumstances. The classification of a perception as ominous is based on an epistemological development which establishes a normative relationship between the perceived and the future. This classification process is preceded by a period of detailed examination and is thus initially built on empirical knowledge. Omina only cease to be detected empirically when a firm conceptual link has been established between the observed and the future which then allows omina to be construed by the application of regularities. In the Mesopotamian written sources from the first and second millennia BC, omina based on regularities far exceed those based on empirical data. Mesopotamian scholars generally collected data without formally expressing the fundamental principles behind their method. It was the composition of non-empirical omina as such which allowed students to detect the regularities on which they were based without this formulated orally or in writing. Modern attempts at a systematic investigation of such principles however, are still outstanding. It is interesting that there is no Sumerian or Akkadian equivalent for the terms 'oracle' or 'omen'. Assyriologists use the term omen for the sentence construction 'if x then y' which consists of a main clause beginning with summa ('if') describing the ominous occurence, and a second clause which spells out the predicted outcome.

  • Kwan ˘Um (Avalokitesvara) Divination
    religions Article Kwanum˘ (Avalokite´svara)Divination: Buddhist Reconciliation with Confucianism in the Late Choson˘ Seong U. K. Kim Department of East Asian Languages & Cultures, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, USA; [email protected] Received: 8 April 2020; Accepted: 19 April 2020; Published: 22 April 2020 Abstract: This paper looks at the interactions between Buddhism and Confucianism in the late Choson˘ era through a case study of Kwanum˘ (Avalokite´svara)divination and, thereby, attempts to demonstrate how Buddhist monks navigated their religion in a Confucian-dominant society. In particular, it discusses how Choson˘ Buddhist monks incorporated Confucian ethical values into the practice of Avalokite´svaradivination, which developed in the late Choson˘ era, based on the Kwanum˘ yonggwa˘ , the first Korean Buddhist manual for Avalokite´svaradivination. The unique amalgam of the Avalokite´svaracult and divination practices became popular in this period by embracing the fulfillment of the Confucian duty of filial piety and sincerity as its essential element. In particular, the Confucian practice served as a deciding factor to receive the bodhisattva’s blessings in this divination. The introduction of Avalokite´svaradivination, therefore, reveals another strategy of the Buddhist community to demonstrate its devotion by incorporating the ideology of the Confucian ruling class in the late Choson˘ era. Keywords: Choson˘ Buddhism; Kwanum˘ (Avalokite´svara) divination; Kwanum˘ yonggwa˘ ; Buddhist–Confucian relationship 1. Introduction Avalokite´svaradivination is a unique combination of the Avalokite´svaracult and divination. It became popular in the late Choson˘ era, the last dynasty of Korea, when both the Avalokite´svaracult and divination flourished.
