Throwing dice divination
I adapted this from a Victorian book. The original is below. Clearly sometimes Victorian ladies needed to use other methods to shape their fate!
Whereby a lady may discover her romantic fate.
If matters of health, family, or business are of more pressing interest at the moment, the answers can be interpreted in that way.
Instructions.
Roll two dice in the hands while saying, silently or aloud, "For better for worse, for richer for poorer. " then shake the dice and let them drop into a circle you have previously drawn on a surface. A circular cloth or paper will also serve, preferable white like the moon. Only attempt this divination once a month, if possible at the full moon.
If the dice roll out of the circle, the throw goes for nothing, but this mischance indicated an argument to come.
If they fall to the floor, you are in danger of losing a friend.
If one comes to rest on top of the other then you will soon receive a present of significance.
Interpretations of the dice
2 Alas, the signs are unfavorable.
3 You are in danger of making a mistake. Delay.
4 Accept that new responsibility. Your destiny awaits you there.
5 You will meet your romantic destiny this month, but may face some challenges before you find happiness.
6 You have a secret admirer and he may be the one.
7 Your dearest hopes will come true.
8 A person who lingers in your memory will contact you.
9 It is time to make the first move.
10 A change is needed before Cupid's darts can fly.
11 The month will present opportunities, but be cautious.
12 You will experience disappointment this month, but what seems sad will turn out for the best.
The Victorian original uses three dice.
Take three dice, shake them well in the box in the left hand, and then cast them out on a board or table, on which you had previously drawn a circle with chalk, but never throw on a Monday or Wednesday.
3 A pleasing surprise

8 Merited reproach
9 A wedding
10 A christening, at which some important event will occur to you

12 A letter, speedily
13 tears and sighs
14 a new admirer
15 Beware that you are not drawn into some trouble or plot
16 A pleasant journey
17 You will either be on the water, or have dealings with those belonging to it, to your advantage.
18 A great profit, rise in life, or some most desirable good will happen almost immediately.
The answers to the dice are always fulfilled within nine days.
To show the same number twice at one trial means news from abroad, be the number what it may.
If the dice roll over the circle, the throw goes for nothing, but the occurrence indicates sharp words, and if they fall to the floor, it is blows.
If one remains on top of the other, it is a present, of which the recipient should take care.
This die is 7/16th of an inch tall and wide. It is cube-shaped, the same length in all dimensions. There are six sharp corners that meet at 90 degree angles. These corners form perfectly straight and well-defined edges that run from the top to the bottom. There are six sides to the object, each equal in height and length. There are small circular indentions on each side. Each side has a different amount ranging from the least having one and the most having six. These small circular indentions are arranged so that the side with one has one in the middle, the side with two has two in diagonal corners, the side with three has three organized in a diagonal line, the side with four has four in each corner, the side with five has one in each corner and one in the middle, and the side with six has three in a straight line on one side and three in a straight line on the other side. These small circular indentions appear to have once been painted black, but the paint has worn out since then. The object is chipped in several places on the sides and a few of the corners are worn down. The object is extremely light and fits in the palm of a hand. The die is made out of wood and finished in a light, natural shade. The die appears to be worn out and old. The wood is covered in dirt stains, but otherwise the finish feels resistant to water and other liquids. On the least worn side, faint parallel lines stretch across the entire side. The die makes a pleasant plinking sound when dropped on a table. It can sit on only one side at a time because of the sharpness of its angles. The object appears to look the same from the side and to look the same from the top, except on closer inspection each side has a different number of small circular indentions. The opposite sides add up to seven, so the side with three dots is opposite the side with four dots, the side with two dots is opposite the side with five dots, and the side with one dot is opposite the side with one dot. The significance of the number seven will be discussed later.
This adds depth and complexity to the storytelling, allowing readers to reflect on the power of choice and the impact of their own actions. Throughout the series, readers will be spellbound by the enchanting settings, diverse characters, and thrilling plot twists. Sarah Summers masterfully crafts a world where imagination knows no bounds, making each book a delightful escape from reality. The "Made from Magic" series appeals to both young and adult readers alike, as it explores universal themes of friendship, love, and self-discovery.

In conclusion, the "Made from Magic" series is a mesmerizing collection of books that transports readers into a world where anything is possible. Sarah Summers' enchanting storytelling and engaging characters make this series a must-read for those seeking a magical and unforgettable reading experience..
