Oracle Bones Divination: The Greek I Ching explores astragalomancy, an ancient Greek form of divination using oracle bones, dice-like casting methods and symbolic interpretation. Kostas Dervenis presents this system as a Greek counterpart to the I Ching, with methods for casting and reading the oracle using either traditional bones or coins.

The book traces the practice through ancient Greek religion, folk divination and temple-based oracle traditions, offering a complete matrix of interpretations reconstructed from ancient sources. A useful title for readers interested in divination systems, Greek religion, oracles, fate, symbolic interpretation and comparative esoteric traditions.
