As a fan of these since I found mention of them here, I figured I would shed light on them as I discover it.
I decided to map them for reference to each other and to original concept. This is my guidance for further interpretation efforts based on the their apparent link to the enneagram. I haven't studied it, but I know a good bit about numerology. If anyone wants to chime in about the enneagram, please do so!
Anyways, if people want to talk about them, or just see what they look like "unfolded" here ya go. I ordered them to the closest semblance of the original concept cross available on his website. The concept was more like a rubicks cube, but the mapping is consistent. four images changed a little. The flame was a lit match, the Shadow was a dead man impaled, the beetle was a more ambiguous bug, and there was a point wizard hat alternate in the borders instead of the magic wand. The trend to the nine-fold sides of the original cube concept is thematic, but each dice also has a theme.
This is very interesting (to me, at least). Because if you only use one set of story cubes, you cannot have two images on the same cube in a particular reading. I am looking further to see what, if any "face" of nine images, if any, of the original cube you could have in a nine cube reading with the dice mapping the way it is done. Maybe this explains part of why the dice are designed the way they are...
