Astragalomancy
Astragalomancy uses knucklebones, or replicas of them, as lots in a divinatory consultation.
How to approach it
Selecting a symbol and interpreting it are separate steps. Knowing the catalogue, positions and rules before a consultation helps clarify what the result actually offers.
An important distinction
A knucklebone differs from a six-sided cubic die: its surfaces and values require their own conventions.
An example to explore
Compare a museum knucklebone with a modern die, noting which surfaces can face upwards and how they are identified.
Taking the idea further
To explore further, compare the related concepts and note differences in material, procedure and interpretation. If you open a related tool, read its own rules; sharing a symbol does not mean carrying out the same practice.
