Divination by Dominoes

 

A convenient and simple means of home consultation is through the medium
of dominoes. In the way that each value of a playing-card is intimately
connected with some divinatory significance, so also are the numbers on
the face of each domino.

The pieces must first of all be shuffled and left face downwards. Then
one is drawn and the number exposed. Do not draw more than three pieces
at a single consultation, or on the same day, otherwise you will find
yourself badly misled.

These are the omens indicated by each number:

Double-Six

Great success and an important financial gain.

Six-Five

You will become a member of some organization formed for the
benefit of others.

Six-Four

Arguments and lawsuits which will result in a loss.

Six-Three

A short journey for your own good.

Six-Two

In a few days you will receive a useful present.

Six-One

The cause of your trouble will shortly be removed.

Six-Blank

Someone wishes ill of you; beware of a supposed friendship.

Double-Five

Change of dwelling place which will bring much happiness.

Five-Four

Increase in wealth through a sound investment; do not
speculate with your profit.

Five-Three

An important visit from someone who may help you.

Five-Two

Birth of a child to a member of your family.

Five-One

A passionate love affair which may be attended with unhappy
circumstances.

Five-Blank

Distress for one of your friends; you can be of much
comfort.

Double-Four

Revelry at the house of a stranger.

Four-Three

Fears of disappointment which are troubling you are quite
unfounded.

Four-Two

You have made the acquaintance of a swindler and hoaxer; women
especially should be on guard.

Four-One

Financial worries and a settlement of debts which will leave
you poor for a time.

Four-Blank

You have wronged a friend; seek reconciliation without
delay.

Double-Three

Rivalry in your love affairs, causing great consternation.

Three-Two

For the next few days you will be unlucky in games of chance;
avoid taking risks.

Three-One

A startling revelation which may be of great help to you.

Three-Blank

Jealousy will be the cause of estrangement from an old
friend.

Double-Two

A happy marriage in which you will play an important part.

Two-One

A loss of personal property in the near future.

Two-Blank

Great joy through meeting one who will become very dear to
you.

Double-One

A bold step taken now will cause you to better you to better
your position; do not hesitate.

One-Blank

A stranger will be coming from abroad to help you.

Double-Blank

An unhappy omen, indicating monetary losses and unforeseen
disappointments.

To draw the same domino twice running strengthens the prediction and also
denotes an almost immediate fulfillment.
