Planchette

Planchette: Before I reveal the surprising meaning for planchette, let's consider its two etymological relatives: plank (as in: walk the ...) and planchet. A planchet is a blank for minting coins. A planchette is the piece of wood on rollers as used by an Ouija Board and other similar devices to foretell the future. On a related etymolgical note: Ouija is a composite of oui (French for yes) and ja (German for yes).
Caodaism ... was a synthesis of the three religions. The Holy See was at Tanyin. A pope and female cardinals. Prophecy by planchette.
In any vision somewhere you could find the planchette.
