The most traditional method is to throw them into a circle. Sources vary on the proper size of the circle. One source says a circle 8 in/10 cm in diameter is the proper size. Another says a circle 12 in/30 cm in diameter is the correct size. Choose a diameter you like and stick with it, but keep in mind that the larger the circle diameter, the less chance you have of any dice falling outside of the circle. In my experience, dice which fall outside the circle are irrelevant; ignore ’em. Others believe if any dice fall outside the circle, the whole reading is null and void. If you choose to consider the entire reading null and void if any dice fall outside the circle, then the following two points are to be considered true:
• Any dice falling outside the circle-an argument is coming. The more dice outside the circle, the more heated the argument.
• Any dice which fall on the floor-you are in danger of losing a friend. The more dice on the floor, the worse the falling-out with the friend.
If you choose to take into consideration the dice which fall outside the circle, as well as the dice which fall inside the circle, then the following are considered to be true:
• One die falling outside the circle-Difficulties or an upset are coming.
• Two dice falling outside the circle-Arguments or disagreements are coming.
• Three dice falling outside the circle-Luck or a wish to come true.
• Any dice which fall on the floor-Problems, worry or annoyance soon. Again, you may be in danger of losing a friend.
What do you do if a die lands on the line? If it’s mostly inside the circle, include it in the reading. If it’s half-and-half, or mostly outside the circle, disregard it. One special indicator which is held to be true, whether you count the dice which fall outside the circle or not, is if you have one die land on top of another and stay there when you throw the dice, you will soon receive a gift of some significance.
Love this! I have a question, I threw two dice, do you add them both up? Or just look at each number on the dice and read those meanings?
You’ll add up the numbers on both dice and look for the meaning of the resultant number.
When I roll dice where will I get unswer,,and how?or what I the meaning of 1,2,3,4,5,6 through dice?
Thank you for mentioning this issue. I will work on a correction, perhaps a Concise List of Number meanings. I thought I’d included a downloadable list of number results and their meanings in the lesson, but I could be wrong.
If you use 2 or 3 dice how do you get a 1 or a 2 if you add the numbers together?
The only way you could throw a 1 with two or three dice is if only one die lands in the casting circle, and the other one or two dice land outside the casting circle. The only way you could throw a 2 with two dice is a pair of snake eyes. If throwing a 2 with three dice, that result would have to be a pair of snake eyes, with the third die landing outside the casting circle. On the issue of throwing a 1 or a 2 with two or three dice, there appears to be an unspoken assumption that one or two of the dice have landed outside the casting circle. Opinion differ a little on the divinatory meanings of the various numbers thrown with the dice, but I’ve found a dice-divination source or two which frankly don’t even cover a 1 or a 2 result, considering only throws of 3 or higher to be of any significance. I included meanings for a throw of 1 or 2 for the sake of being comprehensive, and on the off-chance that someone might throw a number that low. But if a dice-diviner wants to establish for themselves the operating principle that any number below 3 is meaningless and therefore not to be considered, there is some support for that premise. Throwing a 1 or 2 is rather rare, anyway.
ON THE OTHER HAND: There are those dice diviners who consider any dice landing outside the circle to be a bad omen, indicating an upset or an argument. And if any dice land on the floor, that’s considered to be even worse, indicating a break-up or relationship-ending argument. So a throw of 1 or 2, with one or two dice landing outside the circle, can indicate those numbers’ meanings, accompanied by an upset or argument, so in effect you have a two-part prediction. For example, say you throw a two with three dice and two dice land in the circle, the other two outside the circle. Two, according to the source I use, says ‘Take a good look at situations in your life at this time. Things may not be quite what they seem to be.’ Because some dice diviners take dice landing outside the circle to mean an upset or an argument is coming, this throw could be saying you’ll take a closer look at a certain situation, discover something amiss, or discover that you and another person are operating under different assumptions, and an argument ensues. And if the one die which landed outside the circle in this example landed on the floor, some sources say the argument could be serious enough to lead to a break-up. So for a scenario like that, a throw of 1 or 2 with two or three dice could turn out to be very significant for a person.
I myself am neutral on the idea of taking any dice which land outside the circle to be of any significance, because if you live with, work with, or regularly interact with a naturally-argumentative person, then a die or two landing outside the circle indicating an argument doesn’t tell you anything you don’t already know. And sometimes nothing of the sort happens. But your mileage may vary.
