Divining the future by observing the disposition of dominoes is called dominomancy.
It is believed that this art was born in China between 1200 and 1100 B.C. and was often practiced in France during the middle ages.
It is perhaps an evolution of divination through the use of dice. Both the dice and domino pieces are thought to be endowed with power that brings benefit to the person querying, whether the omens are positive or not.
The most used methodology within dominomancy is to
turn the 28 pieces – face down – round and round with the
left hand.
The query is made, and three pieces are separated from the lot. They are then placed in a horizontal formation, from left to right, and are turned to be observed.
The selected pieces will render the answer, as each one has a specific meaning.
