Jiaobei Divination 擲筊問卜

Authentic 2-block crescent wood casting with probabilistic outcome theological analysis

Cast the crescent wooden blocks (Jiaobei 筊杯). One side is curved (凸 Yang), the other flat (平 Yin). The deity's will is revealed through binary harmony between Heaven and Earth.

聖筊 Shengjiao (Divine Affirmation) Probability: 50.0%

One flat side up (Yin) and one convex round side up (Yang). Perfect balance of cosmic forces: the deity endorses your path, granting explicit blessing and protection.
