DIVINATION - CLEROMANCY - DICE / DOMINOES

Dice and Dominoes

These are probably two of the simplest methods used to foretell the future (cleromancy):

Dice

Normal Dice Some people genuinely believe that dice can be used for divination, although many more are still to be convinced. Two standard 6-sided dice are normally used, but very ambiguous meanings are assigned to each number thrown, thus the scepticism.

For example:

1 - 1 You can't know 2 - 1 Yes 2 - 2 No way! 3 - 1 Maybe not

3 - 2 Almost certainly 3 - 3 Yes - If you act accordingly 4 - 1 Most likely 4 - 2 Unlikely

4 - 3 Yes 4 - 4 Maybe yes, maybe no 5 - 1 Fifty-fifty chance 5 - 2 Maybe

5 - 3 If you're lucky 5 - 4 Impossible 5 - 5 For certain 6 - 1 A definite outcome

6 - 2 No 6 - 3 Probably not 6 - 4 Yes 6 - 5 Likely

6 - 6 Absolutely

Astrological Dice

Astrological dice are a specialised set of 3 x 12-sided dice, using the concepts of astrology and containing astrological symbols for the planets, the zodiac signs and the astrological houses.

Astrological Dice

The first die represents the planets, the Sun, the Moon, and two nodes (North and South Node), the second die represents the 12 signs of the zodiac, while the third represents the 12 houses. In simplified terms, the planets could represent an 'actor', the zodiac signs could represent the 'role' being played by that actor, and the house could represent the 'scene' in which the actor is playing.

Rune Dice

Rune dice are another specialised set of dice designed for 'runecasting', using the symbols of the runes printed on the faces of each die.

Dominoes

Dominoes work in a similar manner to that of dice, values or meanings being assigned to each of the 28 dominoes in a set. There are several different layouts, many based on those used for Tarot card readings, the most basic of which is a simple line of three horizontal tiles representing past, present and future. I do not intend to show any layouts on this page as there are many sites on the internet devoted to this method of divination.

A quick way of foretelling the near future is to shuffle the dominoes and leave them face downwards. This pile of dominoes is often referred to as the boneyard. The querant draws just one domino with his/her left hand and turns it over to reveal its value; it can then be interpreted from the quick reference below. It is suggested that your querant never draws more than three dominoes in this way during a sitting as trying to tie them together becomes difficult. Always replace the domino back in the pile with the others and re-shuffle them before drawing the next one. Different interpretations are given depending upon how the domino is placed down, e.g. 3-0 differs from 0-3. In the quick guide below, the first interpretation is for the higher part of the domino (3-0) showing to the left, the second, obviously, is for the lower part to the left (0-3). As stated under Cartomancy, the interpretations are a guide only - the more you practice the more proficient you will become.

An unlucky domino, indicating probable unforeseen trouble or disappointments, including monetary loss.

This domino suggests a stranger will be coming to help or advise you, probably from abroad. Another interpretation is an enemy threatens your happiness.

You will get great joy and happiness through meeting someone new who will become very close and dear to you. Alternatively it can suggest poverty.

You will become estranged from an old friend through jealousy. Alternatively you can expect trouble from your love of money.

You have upset a dear friend and must seek to rectify the situation immediately. Alternatively it can mean farmers can expect good crops, but signifies money troubles for others.

You will be of great comfort to one of your friends who has had some bad news. Alternatively it indicates an unhappy marriage

Beware of an ingenuine friendship - someone who wishes you ill is plotting against you. Scandal is likely.

Grab the bull by the horns. A bold step now will cause you to improve your position - don't hesitate. It could also mean a reunion with someone you have not seen for a long time.
You can expect the loss of some personal property in the near future, or an old friend will pay you a visit.

Expect some startling news which may be of great service to you. Alternatively it can mean a successful business trip.

Your financial worries seem justified. A settlement of a debt or debts which will leave you very short of cash for a time. Another meaning could be a childless marriage.

Beware of an exciting, passionate love affair. It may well lead to an unhappy ending. Another meaning is you may receive a proposal or attend a social event.

Your worries and troubles will soon be over, the source of them being removed. The alternative meaning is you will probably marry twice, but the second marriage will be much happier.

A wish may be granted or there will be a happy marriage in the near future in which you will play a prominent role.

The next few days will be unlucky for you. Avoid taking risks and games of chance. Alternatively, an old debt will be repaid.

You have recently met a charlatan, a swindler and/or a hoaxer. Be on your guard. Alternatively it indicates a loss from theft.

There will shortly be a birth of a child to a member of your family. The other meaning is defeat in your attempt to gain public office.

You can expect to receive a useful gift soon, or you can expect good luck in your business affairs.

Either there is some rivalry in your love affairs, which is causing you consternation, or you can expect a windfall.

You are troubled by fears of disappointment. These are totally unfounded. Alternatively, you can expect happiness in love.

This domino suggests you can expect a visit soon, possibly from someone who will advise or help you.

A short journey for your own good seems likely, or someone will give you a welcome gift.

You can expect to go to a surprise party, probably at the house of a stranger.

A financial windfall through a sound investment. Do not reinvest this gain. Alternatively you can expect a very pleasant surprise.

This domino foretells of arguments leading to lawsuits, resulting in a loss. Alternatively an early marriage is predicted with several children resulting.

Relocation will bring either happiness or a change of fortune.

You will join a charitable organisation to help others. The alternative meaning here is if you are seeking employment you will find it - if not you can expect a pleasant day out with a friend.
