Nod’s Way
Robert Stikmanz
Dalton Publishing
ISBN: 0-9740703-9-4
Divination, Oracle
Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

Nod’s Way is a divination system with a few interesting twists. Most creatively, this book has been given to its author by Jackanapes Plenty. Jack, as those who have read Prelude to a Change of Mind already know, is part Dvarsh. In fact, Nod’s Way is the adapted translation of the Sosnod, the ancient Dvarsh oracle wisdom book.

The divination process is reminiscent of I Ching. The forecaster rolls three dice. Two of these dice are eight sides with the moon in its various phases and a couple of star formations. The third dice is a regular six sided type with additional symbols. Read together (three rolls for three layers of interpretation), the forecaster receives comments relevant to their query. In total, there are 36 auspices which match the Nod Calendar of the Dvarvish.

Nod’s Way is an intuitive divination system that I personally find very useful. The imaginative background information adds a little fun and fantasy into the mix. What a great idea!
