If you’ve looked in any fortune telling book from the early 1900s you’ll notice whole sections on telling the future from numerical systems on dominoes and dice. Dominoes were created in China around 1100 AD although something similar to dominoes was found in Tutankhamen’s tomb dating around 1355 BC. They came to Europe in the early 1800s where the original game was changed slightly and we have the blanks included in the set. The were based off the 6 sided dice and represented the 21 combinations of throwing them. There is debate where dice come from as well, archeologists can date then to Egypt as far back as 6000 BC and China 600 BC. It’s also said the precursor to the game of dice we know now were divination tools made from bone. Divination with dice was popular in Greece 496-406 BC and it was thought that Fortuna controlled the outcome the throw.
DICE
To read the dice it’s most common to designate a surface or draw a circle.The circle gives a sacred space for the dice to roll but also allows for messages to be relayed by which dice stay in the circle and which roll out of bounds. Take three dice and roll them, then count the sum and that is the answer to your question. Some people look at the individual dice as well. Sometimes the dice will roll outside of the designated area. It’s up to you to decide whether A. The reading is null and void, B. To only count the sum of the dice in the area or C. Look for signs outside of the area such as:
- Dice falling outside the area indicate arguments.
- Dice that fall on the floor indicate you may lose a loved one.
- One dice falling outside the area indicates upsetting news, difficulties, blockages
- Two dice falling outside the area miscommunication leads to disagreements.
- Three dice falling outside the area is very lucky and indicates your wish is coming true.
- Dice that fall on the floor indicate problems and worry, disturbances .
- Dice land one on top of the other You will soon receive something very meaningful but this also is a caution in romance and business. In most cases it means to look at everything before you make big decisions.
For some if any of the dice fall outside then it indicates arguments, difficulties, and quarreling. If it falls on the floor either the reading is null and void and you should ask again later or you are in danger of losing something important to you. It really depends on what feels right to you.
