One of the very first forms of fortune telling was astragalomancy, better known as cleromancy, the casting of small objects such as bones, dried beans, or stones to divine the future. Certain African witch doctors used special dice for this purpose. The dice Indian Hindu's used are very similar to standard dice except they are spun on a rod. Both ancient Egypt and Rome used dice for divination.
There are dice marked with mystic symbols specifically used for fortune telling and divining. Rune dice are a common type but standard dice may just as easily be used. Tibetan monks practice a dice divination technique called Sho-Mo using three ordinary standard spotted dice.
Dice made of bone or ivory are said to be particularly receptive while wood, stone or a natural material are next best, but don't worry if yours are plastic, they’ll work just as well.
Unlike interpreting tarot cards or tea leaves using dice to divine answers to questions requires little intuition. When you feel too tired or distracted to connect with your imagination and intuition, try casting dice for a quick, clear answer to a query.
Draw a circle 12 inches in diameter with chalk on a wooden table. Shake three dice vigorously, using either a cup held in the left hand or both hands cupped together if no cup is available. Cast the dice within the circle. Add the sum of all three dice before checking for an interpretation.
If one die falls outside the circle then it indicates a block to the developments shown by sum of all three dice. If two dice fall outside the circle it warns of a disagreement about the event shown by the sum of all three dice. If all three dice fall outside the circle, try again. If the dice land beyond the circle a second time, try again the next day as the situation is unclear.
