Poe Divination (Pua̍h-Pue): Siūnn-Pue

Everything will go well! * Poe Divination (Pua̍h-Pue 擲筊 in Taiwanese) is part of the folk belief that involves throwing two half-moon-shaped wooden blocks, each of which is flat on one side and rounded on the other, in order to ask for answers from gods or ancestors. The flat side is considered positive, and the round side is negative. We throw the two poe to the ground at the same time. Siūnn-Pue 聖筊: When one of the blocks has its flat side facing up and the other has its flat side facing down, this shows the Deity's agreement with the devotee's question or plea. It can also mean that the things being asked would be successful.
