The Hong Kong Tarot with Fortune Sticks

The HONG KONG Tarot is a tarot deck created by Errol Yeung & Gooloo Choi. Growing up in Hong Kong, we truly live in an East meets West, multi-cultural environment. Hong Kong people love both Chinese and Western fortune-telling. We thought it will be a great and interesting idea of combining both fortune-telling methods, the Fortune Stick and the Tarot.

Hong Kong people love going to temples to seek guidance from all kinds of gods. Tarot is also one of the most popular fortune-telling tools in Hong Kong. Combining two methods, we create a new way of reading tarot cards.

The tarot deck will be featuring 78 interesting illustrations. We put some of the most commonly seen Gods in Hong Kong into our Tarot deck, like the Bodhisattva, the Buddha, and the Wong Tai Sin. We also put some iconic landmarks of Hong Kong inside our illustration, like IFC, Tai O, and Victoria Harbour.

Fortune telling sticks (Kau chim) will be included in our box set.

"Kau Chim or Kau Cim, also known as Lottery poetry, is a fortune telling practice that originated in China in which the querent (person asking the question) requests answers from a sacred oracle lot. The practice is often performed in a Taoist or Buddhist temple in front of an altar. Kau Chim is often referred to as Chien Tung or Chinese Fortune Sticks by westerners. In the US, a version has been sold since 1915 under the name Chi Chi Sticks. Kau Chim is also sometimes known as "The Oracle of Kuan Yin" in Buddhist traditions." by Wikipedia -
