4.0 out of 5 stars Buckland makes domino divination easy, March 24, 2000

The Buckland Gypsies' Domino Divination Deck Llewellyn Publications, 1995 Review by Patrick McCallister

For thousands of years, people from Chinese mystics to Welsh pub goers have used the dominoes to look into the future. Indeed, domino divination is, according to the writers of "Predicting Your Future," a collaborative work by the Diagram Group, dominoes are still a popular method of divination in China and India.

Raymond Buckland's 1995 cards with booklet publication, "The Buckland Gypsies' Domino Divination Deck" is the first 20th-century English-language work to deal exclusively with domino divination. Many other writers have given it all-to-brief treatments as sections of books.

Buckland's card publication does an outstanding job of simplifying double-six domino divination, so even a beginner can get accurate readings from the start. Using Buckland's deck, people can divine for themselves in minutes.

The interpretation of each domino is printed on the cards, along with the dot patterns. The divination interpretations Buckland uses are backed by books published as long ago as 1814.

In addition, those taking up domino divination now have Carlos G. y Poenna's book "The Yoruba Domino Oracle" to use. The Samuel Weiser publication was released in March, 2000.

While Buckland and Poenna's works use different schools of double-six domino divination, they compliment each other, making it easier than ever to learn the practice.

About the Reviewer: Patrick McCallister is a domino-divination researcher, and is an experienced domino diviner. He's done thousands of readings using this augury method.

He's written an as-yet unpublished book about the subject, "Ya Pai Shen Po: A Complete Guide to Domino Divination."

He's a reporter for The DeLand Beacon newspaper and free-lance writer, who's published articles about domino divination in By The Numbers and Waxing & Waning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cast the bones, April 21, 2003

This review is from: The Buckland Gypsies' Domino Divination Deck (Paperback)
The origin of dominoes is as shrouded in mystery as is the origin of the tarot cards. Both the East and the West claim dominoes however there are substantial differences. Chinese dominoes consist of 32 tiles with no zero or null tiles, such as 0, 0 through 0, 6. The Western "double 6" dominoes consists of 28 tiles. The same number of days to a lunar cycle and the same number of days as a woman's menstrual cycle. Just a coincidence? I think not! The very word "domino" mean "Oh Lord" or "I am Lord" Legend has it that the game was popular among monks who kept vows of silence. However, they were permited to exclaim the word "Domino" when they won at the game.Raymond Buckland makes tapping into the mystery of this devination technique very simple. However, don't be fool by the simplicity of the method. Complication does not go hand-in-hand with sophistication. Domino devination is as sophisticated as any divination method. And it doesn't suffer from some of the arcane clap-trap that surrounds some of the better know divination methods. So grab this kit, grab a set of domino tiles, and learn to "cast the bones."
