Follow a falling stick to its verse
Hold and release the cylinder, follow the confirmation sequence, and read a numbered slip with attention to its story.
Try the tool →Three small steps
Bring one question
Enter your subject. A question such as What does this season ask of me? leaves room for the verse to offer more than a verdict.
Hold, then release
Hold the shake control, then release to let a stick leap. You can also hold and release Space or Enter on the focused control. Watch the following moon-block sequence.
Open the slip
Read the stick number, verse, grade, and accompanying story. Open a topic panel that relates to your question. Choose a line worth considering before using Hold to ask again.

Art, sources & approach
This site's cylinder, confirmation sequence, and slip readings adapt the form of a stick consultation; they are not a reading issued by a temple.
Lesson diagrams and interface illustrations: Brews and Bloom. Diagrams simplify the idea being taught; they are not historical artifacts.
