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 fulfilment.
