THROWING WITH THREE DICE
This is the one form of dice divination with the greatest number and variety of possible answers. After looking over the information I’ve found on it, three-dice divination is mainly predictive in its answers, giving general, short-term predictions, although I have found one long-term prediction system using three dice (see the section below). Three-dice divination is a good source to consult if you want a general forecast for what’s coming in the near-future for you, say the next few days to the next week or two. Most compendiums of fortune telling methods only concern themselves with the results of three-dice throws anyway.
THROWING WITH THREE DICE-MONTHLY QUESTIONS
If you have only three dice on hand, and you want a general idea of how the coming month is going to go for you, not just how the next several-to-ten days are going to transpire, the answer key below, devised by Francis King, the author of The Encyclopedia of Fortune Telling, is designed to answer the monthly question. You may notice the monthly answers are similar to, but not always the same as, the regular three-dice throw answers.
THROWING WITH THREE DICE-ACTION QUESTIONS
Not every question asked of three dice has to be passive. This answer key below is for three-dice throws designed, to answer such questions as Can I? Should I? Will I? Am I? or Does My?
THROWING WITH THREE DICE, THE FELIX FONTAINE WAY
Fontaine, as seems to be his wont, is more long-term, whole-life focused. A big concern with Fontaine’s answers seems to be ‘what sort of person am I going to marry? Should I marry at all?’ reflecting the high priority the nineteenth century placed on marriage. Another thing he does, which I’ve seen nowhere else, is he breaks down the significance of each number’s throw demographically. A young girl won’t receive quite the same answer as a young man, a farmer, or a businessman. Fontaine doesn’t pull his punches, either. If you’re destined to marry a stingy wretch, he’ll tell you. I’m including Fontaine’s three-dice answer key both as an interesting historical document, and possibly to deepen and broaden your own understanding of the numbers’ meanings. Fontaine takes a more long-term view of the numbers’ meanings than any other source I’ve seen:
