I do not, but I once saved this info from elsewhere online. (It's not my words nor from my experience.) You may or may not find it helpful, but I thought I'd share.
========
Okay the Astragals are divination with "dice". You need TWO six sided
die.
From what I learned first from my colleague about the Astragals and later in one of my many fortune telling books, I learned that divination with dice go clear back to ancient Egypt. They were called 'astragals' and has almost a ring to the heavens about it. I'm sure the whole word play means that it's divine guidance from heaven or some such.
You should use a small circle about 12" across and your questions will
all have to be asked in a Yes or No format. Tedious? Damn skippy it is
but the accuracy is quite acceptable for the aggravation it takes to
use this system.
The method is to think of the question - out loud - and then shake the
die in your hand as you formulate the question and let fly. Rule of
thumb: If both die stay inside the circle, then add the results
together. If one rolls out, then only count the one that stayed within
the circle and ignore the results of the one that rolled outside of
the circle. If both roll outside, stop throwing the die so damn hard!
1 = Yes
2 = No
3 = Be careful (a warning in relation to what you've asked about)
4 = Be wise (think this over)
5 = Good luck (a positive answer)
6 = Of course
7 = Be strong in faith
8 = Be patient (or It will come in time)
9 = Quite sure (an emphatic yes answer)
10 = Doubtful (no)
11 = Nonsense (result inconclusive - ask again)
12 = Stroke of Luck (very good omen)
