To begin you domino reading, place all
the tiles face down and then shuffle them. Three tiles will be used for
the reading, and they may be selected in either of two ways. You may pick
all three at once, or you may choose them one at a time, reading the chosen domino
and divining its message and then returning it to the pile to be shuffled again.
The second method offers the possibility
that the same tile could be drawn twice. If this happens, an immediate fullfillment
of the message is indicated.
However
the tiles are drawn, only three may be used at a sitting. Moreover, it is
said that you should not divine with dominoes more than once a week, lest the
results lose all meaning.
Here
are the traditional meaning of the various number combinations to be found on
a single tile:

success and prosperity in all aspects of life.
