Some Closing Thoughts
I have not seen any restrictions about how many questions an inquirer may ask, or how many Tablets an inquirer is permitted to consult in one sitting. Presumably, once the Tablet of the Sphinx gives an inquirer the go-ahead, the sky is the limit. I encourage common sense and common courtesy; don’t ask the spirits, via the Tablets, an endless stream of questions. Focus, prioritize and limit what you want to ask about, and remember to thank the spirits when you are done, and all questions are asked. If you are doing this in a group, you may not be able to ask very many questions anyway.
The timing of the events the Tablets of Fate might predict can vary. Questions about timing are one reason why the Tablet of the Sun exists, and if you want to know about the timing of an event one tablet has predicted, you can always consult the Tablet of the Sun to seek clarity, but you may or may not get it. You can also specify a time-span as part of your question, but I don’t think of this system as going very far ahead into the future.
I think nineteenth-century Victorians were onto something; the Tablets of Fate is one of those divination methods which might double as an entertaining party-game. It’s certainly less dangerous than an Ouija board. But if anyone watching you using the Tablets decides they want to join the ‘game’, let them know they must consult the Tablet of the Sphinx first. If it tells them no, they can’t join in! It might be best to decide from the start, as with any card game or board game, who is participating and who isn’t.
