Our domino divination method takes inspiration from Mo divination, traditionally done with dice under the guidance of the Tibetan Bodhisattva of wisdom, Manjushri, and adapts it into a new symbolic system using domino tiles. Just like dice and tarot, dominoes are deceptively simple objects that hide layered meaning. This fusion of Mo dice, domino patterns, and tarot-style spreads creates a powerful hybrid oracle that’s both ancient and brand new.
Each domino reading here is grounded in the math of possibility. There are 28 standard domino combinations, but we apply reversals, doubling the pool to 56 outcomes. We account for orientation, so a 2/5 is not the same as a 5/2. This makes mirrored draws impossible in a single reading and increases the likelihood of receiving double numbers, tiles with the same value on both ends, which carry weightier symbolism and do not reverse.
What sets this domino reading apart from Mo dice is the use of blank tiles. There are 13 new patterns when one or both ends of a domino are blank. Instead of treating blanks as null, we treat them as sacred, assigning them to OM, one of the syllables of Manjushri’s mantra: OM AH RA PA TSA NA DHI. This means blank tiles now influence 25% of the oracle’s total structure.
With this approach, a domino reading becomes like a ritual encounter with the symbolic universe. The spreads used follow familiar tarot layouts, but the energy is different: sharper, cleaner, and more cryptic. Whether you’re here for clarity, curiosity, or communion with something bigger than you, this system delivers. Draw your tiles and prepare to see meaning fall into place like bones across the sky.
