Divination with DnD Dice
There seemed to be enough interest in the DnD Dice Divination system that I decided to go ahead and write it up. I couldn’t fit it all on here though so I might be making more posts in the future about it. I’ve included the most important stuff here to get started. I’ve included a zine to download and print off if you want to take it with you. I actually recommend the zine, it’s a better format than what tumblr would let me put together. Please consider tipping me and definitely credit me where you can. I know there are other systems out there and I don’t have a monopoly on dice divination but this guide did take a lot of time to put together and is built on my own collection of frameworks, meanings. Dice sets can be picked up for cheaper than most basic tarot decks making the barrier to entry lower. My goal was to create a system that could get a similar level of complexity of information to tarot and oracle cards. I found in test readings, I could get roughly the same as I would get from a four card reading. So it’s a good start! It’s my mission to make divination more accessible, tipping me helps me devote more time to this.

1 - Air - Mental, Academic, Communication, Anxiety 2 - Fire - Spirituality, Passion, Ideals, Anger 3 - Water - Emotional, Romantic, Connection, Depression/Sadness 4 - Earth - Physical, Material, Home, Emotional Block I use the Element dice to give an indication for the area of life the reading pertains the most too. I look for indications with other dice as to what the element dice might be speaking to more specifically, but it gives me a place to start. D6 - Problem 1 - Plot - drama, conflict, things outside of your control, change 2 - Character - another person is blocking/causing problems, fixation on a person, possibly even loss of a person 3 - Thought - paradigms getting in the way, not in touch with reality, judgmental, fear/anxiety, getting stuck in your head 4 - Diction - how a person talks is causing problems, speaking too much/too little, passive aggression, divisive or hateful language 5 - Song - Harmony with another, being out of sync with oneself or another, learning to join the choir/group, teamwork 6 - Spectacle - Things seem worse than they actually are, petty fights, aesthetic/surface level changes, playing with how things are perceived to achieve an outcome The Problem dice is based on Aristotle’s Six Elements of Tragedy, a dramatic and literary analytical framework. I use this to see what might be the at the crux of the problem in the area the Element dice indicated. The Action Needed dice can also refine the Problem. D8 - Action Needed 1 - Right View - seeing the situation for what it truly is, actions have consequences, material reality, paradigm shift 2 - Right Resolve - being intentional, recommitting, choosing what is right, dedication and ambition 3 - Right Speech - be honest/don’t lie, don’t be passive aggressive/be forthright, speak compassionately and for the benefit of others. 4 - Right Action - don’t harm others, act compassionately and for the benefit of others, take positive action 5 - Right Livelihood - don’t profit from harming others, long term commitment to benefiting others, take only what you need and give what you do not, ethical employment 6 - Right Effort - Exert influence on your environment to cultivate a better internal world, set strong boundaries, avoid negative influences and seek out positive ones, “just do the thing” 7 - Right Mindfulness - Don’t make things out to be more than they are, see them for what they are, know life is in transition, don’t define the self by these external transitory states 8 - Right Concentration - unification of the mind/body, unlocking higher levels of thinking and feeling and operating, don’t let desire for what might be get in the way of what is, healthy detachment The Action Needed dice is based on the Eightfold Path of Buddhism. While the particulars of the path vary by the different schools/traditions, these seem to be the most common English translations. This dice is usually pretty straight forward, especially when taken in consideration with the rest of the dice. 2D10 - Difficulty Pretty self-explanatory. The higher the difficulty, the longer the process will take. Gives an indication about how important or long term the reading will be. D12 - Time The number can refer to a month of the year which you may have your own associations you can pull from or classify into a season and pull meanings from that. I use the seasonal method most often. Winter - focus on the self, rest, restore yourself, weather the storm, be the light the world isn’t giving you, inner strength Spring - new beginnings, plant seeds, the rain and the storms lead to new growth Summer - wait to harvest, find shade, relax Fall - harvest, make preparations for winter, celebrate accomplishments. You can also think of what sabbat is in that month and the lessons inherent in that holiday. It can also be time of day. 9-5 - Work related, stress, out of your control 5-12 - Free time, friends and family, hobbies 12-9 - rest, dream, restore yourself AM if there are more even than odd numbers and PM if there more odd than even. You can also take the month and the time to be literal if the reading calls for it. D20 - Lesson 1 - The Magician - jack of all trades, master of none, experiment, unfocused, learning, skilled but unrefined, beginning 2 - The High Priestess - balance, intuition, insight, between worlds, lessons learned while solitary 3 - The Empress - growing, flowering, creativity, taking what you have and making it thrive, thriving where you’re planted 4 - The Emperor - expand, leader, confidence, step up and create the life you want/need, protect what/who you have 5 - The Hierophant - balance between material and spiritual, lessons learned from teachers, benevolence, structure 6 - The Lovers - connection, union, positive outlook, nostalgia, romanticism, love given freely 7 - The Chariot - power, confidence, leadership through passion/emotional intelligence, decisive action 8 - Strength - rely on internal direction/sense of self, internal strength and peace, resilience 9 - The Hermit - internal knowledge and discovery, minimalism, truth is inside you, you are capable on your own 10 - The Wheel of Fortune - things are outside of your control, this too shall pass, ebb and flow of fortune, reversal of luck 11 - Justice - objective truth, standing by/doing what is right, lawful good, cutting ties with deceivers, protect the community 12 - The Hanged Man - Insight, understanding impermanence, sudden realization, enlightenment, major paradigm shift 13 - Death - the old makes way for the new, the cycle of life, we all die in the end, reinvention 14 - Temperance - spiritual balance, abstaining from negative influences, taking responsibility for one’s internal well being 15 - The Devil - materialism as bondage, enjoy pleasure without becoming victim to it, pleasure seeking as escapism 16 - The Tower - being shaken to the core, foundations pulled up, self of self overturned, ego shaken 17 - The Star - uneasy hope, possibilities, leaving and traveling, opportunities somewhere else, dare to dream 18 - The Moon - deception, things aren’t always what they appear, intentions and actions do not line up, reflect, see the true nature of things 19 - The Sun - relax and enjoy your accomplishments, celebrate with friends and family, share your abundance, revel in joy 20 - Judgment - shine a light on everything, be honest, be critical and fair, lay firm boundaries, take up the old and make it new The lesson dice is there to indicate what can be learned from the situation. Every situation is an opportunity to grow and evolve. It’s based on the framework of the Major Arcana as teachers and posits that every situation can likewise be a teacher to us all. This dice can help refine the problem dice as well. It can be hard to keep this dice from getting preachy so make sure to be honest about what this dice is saying but temper it so as not to be patronizing. Putting the Reading Together Like all divination, the goal is to look for patterns and craft those patterns into coherent themes. Like reading a novel, you’re reading between the lines to make the reading more useable than the raw info the dice turn up. An example of my notes for a reading are: D4 - Element: 2 - Fire D6 - Problem: 3 - Thought D8 - Action Needed: 3 - Right Speech D10 - Importance: 51 - Middle D12 - Time: Evening/Summer D20 - Lesson: 8 – Strength This is the reading I gave: “The reading suggests there’s some conflict stemming from letting passion overtake reason in your interactions with others. You believe very passionately in your ideals, but how you talk about them to others looks like it’s causing tension. This seems like it will be of moderate difficulty to grapple with, not easy but by far not the hardest thing you’ve dealt with. The reading suggests being mindful of your words and advises to concentrate on your inner power rather than seeking validation for your ideas from others. “ When pulling together a reading you want to look for conflict, strengths, and resolution. There was a lot of fire (passion) and air (communication) in this reading, while they work great in harmony, they can really hurt the user when out of balance so that was the conflict. Passion is a beautiful thing even when it’s not in alignment and I didn’t want the reader to think their ideals were the problem since the rest of the reading pointed out their words so their passion was their strength. The resolution lay in relying on their own internal strength for validation rather than others, that that would lead to better communication and less conflict overall. I’m still learning myself. It takes practice so don’t give up! – I hope this was helpful! Please let me know how this works for you. I’m totally open to people changing it to fit them better but I wanted to provide a model for how this could be done. I also got some really solid readings out of it. So it definitely has potential.

Reviews for "Evoking Whimsy and Wonder with David Yurman's Magical Pendants"
- Emily - 2/5: I purchased one of the David Yurman Magical Pendants from this collection and I was left disappointed. The design looked beautiful in the pictures with all the sparkles and intricate details, but in person, it was underwhelming. The pendant itself felt cheaply made and lacked the elegance I was expecting from such a high-end brand. It also didn't live up to its magical properties as described in the product description. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this collection if you're looking for something truly special and worth the investment.
- Michael - 1/5: I had high hopes for the David Yurman Magical Pendants collection, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The pendant I purchased had a faulty clasp that kept opening unexpectedly, putting my necklace at risk of falling off and getting lost. Not only was the craftsmanship subpar, but the design itself was also nothing extraordinary. Save your money and look for better options elsewhere.
- Sarah - 2/5: I was really excited to add a piece from the David Yurman Magical Pendants collection to my jewelry collection, but unfortunately, it didn't impress me. The pendant I got looked much smaller and less impressive in person than it appeared in the pictures. The overall quality was decent, but it just didn't have that "wow" factor I was hoping for. I would suggest looking at other collections from David Yurman or exploring different brands before settling for this one.
