It seems lately I have been receiving more and more inquiries about dice divination (other wise known as Astragalomancy, Cleromancy, or Psephomancy depending on who you talk to). There are many ways to divine with dice, but I will share with you the method I use. For my method, you will need the following: 3 six sided dice, penny, nickel, dime, quarter.

Method

1. Choose a coin to represent yourself and place it in front of you.
2. Concentrate on your question.
3. Throw the three dice.
4. Add the values of the three dice until they arrive at a single number (EXAMPLE: 6 + 4 = 10 then 1 + 0 = 1 which makes 1 the answer.). This is the overall reading.
5. The die or dice closest to the coin represent what is most important in regards to your question or what is coming into your life or has recently left. The die or dice farthest away from the coin are things that are leaving your life or will come in the far future.

Alternative Methods

Some choose to use a coin and draw a circle. You would only add the values of the dice that land within the circle (not any that landed outside the circle) until they arrive at a single. This is the overall reading. Then the die or dice closest to the coin represent what is most important in regards to your question or what is coming into your life or has recently left. The die or dice farthest away from the coin are things that are leaving your life or will come in the far future.
