The job is simple -- land illegally on the unspoiled planet Cicora, drop off two aliens and a human, collect the pay, and go home to life as a tourist pilot. Oh, and ask no questions. But when Fiona Quinn’s ship crashes, she is stranded on a strange planet with a gorruff, a mahtree, and a man. And all she has is questions.

Tellstones may be one of the least known (and certainly least documented)methods of divination to come down to us through the ages. In Tellstones: Runic Divination in the Welsh Tradition, Tritt has reconstructed-or better, revived-an obscure and ancient tool. There is no complicated, esoteric system for using Tellstones. It will not take you years to learn, and there are no complicated sets of correspondences to memorize. Tellstones are intuitive and symbolic, being derived from nature and everyday life. There are no arcane alphabets or trigrams to puzzle over. Yet this method can lead to insights as deep, profound, and complete as any of the better-known and more respected ancient systems. This revised and expanded third edition discusses the concept of divination in a way that would take them out of the realm of the mystical and place them in the context of everyday life so their value is understood whether one believes in metaphysics or not. Concise, useful, and free of the New Age mumbo-jumbo so often encountered in texts dealing with divination, Tellstones covers virtually every aspect of using this system-from the details of how to construct a basic set of the stones to how to throw a reading-and even a new section on how to use them as a focal point to help manifest desired outcomes. The author, Adam Byrn Tritt, M.Ed., C.H, LMT., is a poet, an essayist, a screenwriter, a teacher, a shaman, a social activist, a humorist, and (according to friends) a mensch. In 1995 Tritt was an awarded an honorary doctorate for his work in religious tolerance and for the creation of TurningPoint, a non-profit program providing alternative medicine to low-income individuals. He continues that passion today in the healthcare clinic he and his wife founded, the Tritt Wellness Center.
