Maybe a toggle to allow for "ancestors' finger-bones" - osteomancy,  or 
even haruspicy or extispicy?  What is a good introspective divination 
without the whiff of hot steaming entrails?

What little consultation i've made with LLM's related to my own I 
Chingery has been almost exclusively disappointing.  I enjoy the 
idiosynchrasies of my Wilhelm-Baynes translation but am constantly aware 
of the intejection of a German (language/culture) cum English 
(language-culture) translation from a somewhat pick-and-choose 
compilation not unlike the myriad pick-and-choose compilations known as 
the various Ibrahamic texts most know as their "one true Bible" ("if it 
aint king james, it aint bible - hooah!").

I'm far from a bible scholar myself, but enjoy the fact of now holding 4 
different copies of 4 different variations (all 20th century) with minor 
read-wear and markings from the original owners (one each from my 
parental lineages), the others from strangers.  I don't seek "wisdom" 
there, but maybe some "perspective"?

It does better with haiku, especially when reminded to relax any thought 
of matching (western) syllable count.  I attribute this to the very 
constrained nature of the expression (large  handful of words and the 
reflection on nature, seasons, a turn, etc.), it is easier *for me* to 
find patterns in the patterns it interpolates/extrapolates from it's 
myriad training examples...

But as with any Oracle, the "wisdom" is not in the casting or the 
reference text itself but in the whole context...
