Astragals - an ancient from of divination.

Astragals, or Astragalomancy is an ancient form of divination originally practiced using knucklebones. The contemporary version uses a pair of 6-sided dice.

Here is a simple method using the dice:

Mark out a circle about one foot in diameter.
Roll your dices in the circle. If either dice rolls outside the circle, do not count it.
These are your possible meanings:

1. Yes.
2. No.
3. Be careful.
4. Be wise (think it through).
5. Good luck (positive).
6. Of course (positive).
7. Be strong in faith.
8. Be patient (it will come to pass).
9. Quite sure (emphatic yes).
10. Doubtful (negative).
11. Nonsense (reword the question. ask again).
12. Stroke of luck (very positive).
