HOW TO USE THESE TABLETS
Aside from these tablets, you need a pointer of some kind. A pen, pencil, stylus, a capped Exacto™ knife, or your finger will do fine. I keep a small wand handy for consulting tablet-of-fate-type divination tools. All of these tablets demand you keep your eyes closed while the tablet is being turned/spun on the table, and while you point. A blindfold or sleep mask is a nice touch, but not necessary if people can be trusted to keep their eyes closed when they consult these charts. And if you miss hitting any numbered sector, well, it could be there is no particular prediction for you that tablet can point-to for the near-future.
The tablets vary in terms of how many times they are supposed to be turned before trying to select an answer, how many attempts you may make to obtain an answer, and how much time you must allow to elapse between consultations. With each of these tablets, I encourage you to read the rules on the accompanying answer key page first before proceeding, because the rules will spell out the particulars for that specific tablet, and the rules do vary.
POSSIBLE VARIATION
Part of me wants to wad the rules up into a ball and toss it over the hedge. If you want to forego the stated number of turns for a given magic tablet, and just place any of these on a lazy-susan and give it a good whirl before pointing, that’s still in keeping with the spirit of this divination tool. The key point is that your choice of an answer is completely random. You can also just cut out the diagram and place that on the lazy-susan, as using the whole page can be rather awkward.
This matter of turning the magic tablet before use brings up one of the potential drawbacks of this divination tool. If the person who is turning the diagram for the inquirer has access to the answer key, and wants the inquirer to point to a particular answer, they can just position the magic tablet in such a way that the answer they want the inquirer to select is right under the pointer in their hand. This divination tool assumes that everyone involved is acting with integrity. Using a lazy-susan pretty much eliminates this as a consideration, and it makes it a one-person operation as well.
