Astragalomancy
Astragalomancy, also known as cubomancy, is the art of divination using dice. It is a great way to practice divination if you are a closet witch. This type of divination falls under the umbrella of Cleromancy, the term used for divination practiced by throwing things such as bones, dice, charms, etc.
The term astragalomancy comes from the Greek word ‘astragalos’ meaning ‘dice’.
The art of throwing dice and bones for divination has been around for thousands of years. In Ancient Greece, they would consult ‘dice oracles’ and the Tibetan cultures have dice divination traditions.
