John Lavinnder has studied Native American lore for 25 years, first with an Odawa shaman in Canada and later with elder Fred Wahpepah in California. This divination system consists of a 240 page book, a quest map, a moon map, element and totem dice, and a compass. Based on Native American spirituality, it is designed to evoke the same kinds of insights one might receive on a vision quest. The element dice includes symbols for thunder, sun, rain, wind, earth, and sky. On the totem dice are representations of warrior, serpent, elk, fish, turtle, and eagle.
The author writes: "This system is rooted in the Six Directions — East, South, West, North, Above, and Below — and it incorporates and reflects a Native American worldview concerning the interrelatedness of all things, most importantly the physical world represented by Mother Earth and the spiritual realm of Great Spirit." You throw the dice to get a combination of element and totem, then consult the booklet for an explanation of this path and its application to your life.
