［擲筊］
擲筊是一種在道教中請示鬼神指示的工具，筊多為木製而成，有分正反兩面，平面為正面，凸起為反面，兩個為一對，兩個筊合在一起為完整的新月的形狀；除了詢問問題之外，求籤也是需要用到擲筊。
通常筊的結果只會有三種型態，正面和正面、正面和反面、反面和反面；正面和正面的組合稱為「笑筊」，代表問題不明確或是沒有答案；正面和反面的組合稱為「聖筊」，代表正確和肯定；反面和反面的組合稱為「蓋筊」，代表否定和不可行。
在道教的廟宇中，筊通常會放在神明桌上，擲筊前要將筊拿至香爐上方以順時針的方向繞三圈，再拿著筊跪至神明的面前，向神明報上自己的名字等個人資料，再向神明提出問題，並將筊丟至地上，筊出現的型態就代表問題的解答。
若是抽籤也必須用上述的方式；抽籤前必須先擲筊，先得到神明的許可才能開始；抽起一支籤放在神桌上，再擲筊向神明確認有沒有抽到正確的籤，如果沒有抽到正確的籤，便再一次的抽籤和擲筊，反覆直到有擲出聖筊為止。

［buăk-bŭi］
buăk-bŭi, "cast moon blocks", also called as "bwa bwei", it is a traditional Taoist divination method. The divination seeker throws or drops two little wooden pieces on the floor and gets the divine answer by the positions of the pieces whether the future course being contemplated is recommended or not. Besides seeking divination straight from the deity, the act of bwa bwei would also be preformed when requesting a fortune stick.
The blocks come as a pair of two, each has two side. The flat side the front and the curved side is the back. When putting two blocks together to form a pair, the pair resemble the shape of the new moon.
Usually, the divination seeker would get one out of these three answers: front/ front, front/ back, back/ back. Front/ front is the laughing draw, it means the divination is ambiguous in nature and the question asked is incorrect or should be worded differently, therefore no answer is given. Front/ back is the holy draw, it means the divination is positive and confirmed. The last is cover draw, which is the back/back, it means the whatever the seeker is seeking has been denied or would not work.
In Taoist temples, the “bwei” is usually seen placed on the altar. Before the bwa bwei can be performed, the seeker has to take the pair of bwei to the top of the incense burner, and draw circle clockwise on top of the incense burner 3 time with the bwei. Once it’s done, the seeker would then kneel down in front of the altar, facing the deity. The seeker would need to report the basic personal information to the deity in silent, then ask the question. After asking the question, the seeker would then throw the bwei on the floor to get the answer from the deity. However the bwei laying on the floor would be the answer to the question.
If the person is only looking to draw the fortune telling sticks, the same process of bwa bwei would still need to be followed to get authorized by the deity before he or she begin to draw the sticks. Once the person drew the stick from the holder, whatever written on the stick would need to be confirmed by the deity throw bwa bwei. If it’s not confirmed by it, the person would need to keeping going through the same process until the deity approves.
