In How to Read an Egg: Divination for the
Easily Bored, Colette Brown takes us on a journey of her experimentations
with some forgotten about, lesser known, and sometimes crazy tools of
divination. As she states early on in the book, divination can be done with
nothing more than the third eye, but the tools used can help with keeping
focus, receiving additional information, and getting the clients to trust what
they are paying for. With tools of sorts being used, the client can see that
the answer they are about to hear is “coming from somewhere.” Much like the
stethoscope for the doctor or the hammer for the carpenter, tools of the trade
being used by the professional helps the customer to believe in the aptitude of
the one providing the information. How to
Read an Egg: Divination for the Easily Bored is a book that introduces us
to some unusual ways of getting psychic readings.
Before
pendulums, shamanic totem cards, crystal balls, and other typically seen oracle
devices used today, how were questions answered by intuitive readers? Where
could the psychic turn to get the much needed answers for the inquiring person
before them? Colette Brown introduces us to some of the items mentioned in
Greek and Roman mythology, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures, as well
as Chinese, Scottish, and German heritage. Across the world and throughout
history, different cultures have honed different ways of finding intuitive
answers to the impossible questions of life.
In How to Read an Egg: Divination for the
Easily Bored, Colette Brown provides us with background on her own
adventures with different divination tools she has used throughout her career.
From reading a paperweight with great success to becoming well known for her
use and accuracy with Tarot cards, Brown has tried and evaluated many items
within the typical psychic tool box. But she has taken a brave step with How to Read an Egg. She has left her
comfort zone of successful divination tools behind and put the tools of the
past into action. The title of the book is not just unique; it’s actually the
first thing she teaches us how to do. Yes, you will learn how to psychically
read an egg.
Each
chapter of Brown’s book is an opening up of the mind, soul, and body. She
introduces us to a divination tool from the past, gives a history on the
cultural beliefs behind its uses, and proceeds to use the tool in her own
study. With a client on the receiving end, Brown uses the divination tools to
give a reading, evaluate how she feels it went, and then gives us the
evaluation and thoughts of the client themselves.
This
experiment of past tools of the trade is an amazing feat for Colette Brown. I
thoroughly enjoyed the history of each item, the explanation of how the tool is
used in a reading, and the honesty she displays throughout as to how her
experiments concluded. I love the humour filling the pages of this book and the
fun she brings to the stories and the quirky divination tools. I felt like a
student to one of the friendliest teachers I have ever had. I highly recommend
this book to those who delve into the field of intuitive readings, whether you
are a spiritual business owner, a customer, or just curious about what it might
be. This is a fun read and you’ll learn something while doing it.
