Weekly reading with... dice?

June is the anniversary of the release of my book Roll for Divination! , so I'll be replacing the weekly tarot readings with dice for a few weeks.

This is one of the readings in the book. It's quick and simple, kind of like the three card readings, but you don't really need three dice to do it. I like seeing all three numbers together. I feel like I can get a deeper look at things that way. You could just roll one three times, though.

Here's an explanation from the book of how this reading works:

Why do I call this Hekate's Dice? It's because each of the dice has a context in the reading inspired by epithets of the Greek Titan Hekate.

The first one is Dadophoros - Torchbearer. This is to shed light on the situation. What is a greater influence on the situation than may have been previously recognized? What needs more attention?

The second is Kleidoukhos - Keeper of the Keys. What is needed to resolve the situation? This could be an action that needs to be taken, or it could be a shift in viewpoint to change how things are understood.

The third is Enodia - At the Crossroads. There are multiple possible paths to be taken. Which path is the best for this situation?

Here we have three six-sided dice that have landed on the numbers 1, 5, and 3.

The 1 represents the person the reading is for. In a general reading like this, it tells us to look at ourselves as having more influence in a situation than we might think. We might not be giving ourselves enough credit for what we're doing right, or we might be trying to blame something on everyone and everything else instead of looking at how we could change things.

The 5 supports this because it's a number that is about how you interact with your environment. That's not just physical space. It includes people, obstacles, and opportunities. If there's something that you've been thinking you want to do and then talking yourself back out of it because you have a vague fear of "But what if I can't make it work?", this is a reminder that you can figure it out and make it work if it's really what you want.

The 3 tells us that there is an open path that can also be a bridge, and that's the path you should take. It's always interesting to me when this number shows up for the question of what the best path is! Look carefully at your options and choose the path that most directly connects where you are to where you want to be headed.

This is a quick general reading. If you want a detailed personal reading emailed as a pdf, I have spots open for tarot, tarot and oracle cards, and dice divination readings.
