Hosting another free in-depth dice reading game with picture for followers to plow (literally) through the dead of winter and certainly not as an excuse to use some of my candles 😆

Ask one question by DM (no inbox!)

Tell me your name or initials and a cozy memory ☕

Readings are purely for entertainment purpose and a little touch of parlor romance! So do take these with a grain of salt and bring along your sense of humor 🖤

Any likes & reblogs are dearly appreciated as usual ;)

I am thinking about opening a new Etsy shop - I used to have one called PharmaDice (closed after I got royally scammed with a large order).

Money’s been a little tight, but I don’t know if there’s enough interest.

So, here are some images of what I’ve previously made and a link to my Instagram to see if there’s any interest.

I guess my specialty is making liquid core dice

New bull bone dice for casting. 🎲

[aezuliamah]

Hi all ! I'm Aezu (any pronouns), and i've been practicing tarot and a few other types of card divination for around 3 years.

Now, i want to practice dice readings, as well as "runes" (a custom set of casting items largely inspired by a manga).

I have 3 different sets of dice :

Publishing Goblin's Oracle dice (2nd edition),

Les Dés D'Isis, by Joyce Duval and Béatrice Pubellier (i've developped my own set of meanings for this one, it consists of 3 astrological dice with Houses, Signs and Planets, as well as 4 colored and 22 sided dice that represent the tarot Major Arcana influenced by a different element each),

Oracle Dés de Sorcière, Secret d'étoiles ( 5 6-sided dice with well-known symbols, mostly of Wicca influence)

My custom runes are inspired by the manga Alice 19th by Yuu Watase, and the rune-like system of magic it uses.

There are 48 pieces in the set, 24 Lotis ("upright" meanings) and 24 Maaram ("reversed" meanings). The manga shows all 24 Lotis, but not all Maaram, so i've completed the set myself.

I also have a set of Elder Futhark runes, but i only use it as additional stones in readings of other sets.

Feel Free to ask questions if i've been unclear or if i forgot anything ! Or if you want to know more about my methods.

I'm OPEN to doing short free readings : simply ask a question, give me a way to remember who you are if anon (emoji combination / initials / pronouns...), and choose the method you would like me to use. I will cast up to 3 dice or runes.

A few rules for readings :

No yes / no questions (the methods i use can't answer those, i will rephrase into a question that allows nuance and details if you send me one)

No medical / legal advice (or anything that would require years of study and a diploma. you know, expert advice. this includes mental health.) General advice is ok.

No "mind-reading" or "spying" on someone, and No readings on someone else's behalf ex: "how are x's exams going to go?" (if you want to know what someone is thinking or doing, ask them directly)

No relationship advice / No NSFW or 18+ / No future spouse / No twin flame /No celebrities and the like (as an AroAce person i'm poorly equipped to do those and they make me uncomfortable) General love advice is ok.

Please refrain from asking many questions in a row, i'll do 1 question per ask. Let other people have their turn.

Please be patient, i may not be able to get to all questions in a timely manner. If you think your question got eaten or forgotten, wait a week or so before reminding me or sending another.

Please be Respectful, make sure you're following the rules, basic politeness is appreciated, and don't trauma-dump in my inbox.

I reserve the right to refuse to do a reading for any reason, even not listed here. (if i'm not comfortable or just don't want to answer a particular question, or if you're being rude, i might refuse. If this happens, i'll most likely let you send another ask.)

I also speak French if anyone would prefer that... / Je parle aussi Français si quelqu'un préfère...

Hello!

I’m currently taking time off work to recover from surgery. So now I have some free time (and could use some extra money) and wanted to offer paid readings! I’ve been practicing divination for around five years now and hope one day I can have an esoteric shop that offers readings. But for now, here I am!

Prices:

Tarot reading: $5. Whatever pops out or you can send a spread!

Oracle readings: $5. You can pick one of six Oracle decks and get a reading (spread or whatever pops out) 

For $2 you can add on more Oracle decks to pull from for any spread.

Colormancy reading: $3 on its own, $2 as an add-on!

Dice casting: $4, $2 as an add-on!

Charm casting: $7 on its own, $5 as an add-on.

Yes/no oracle: $2

Complete reading using all oracle decks, tarot, dice, and charms: $15

I can also call upon deities to join me for your reading. However, this will only be for Greek/Roman deities as I am not familiar with working with other pantheons. Message me if interested :)

My Caduceus-themed dice set is finished! These were my first foray into doing swirled dice, and even though it’s subtle, I really like the effect.

Mobile post!

Got these imperfect guys all inked up and photos taken. Won’t get that listing up until Monday or so. May do a few more pulls from these molds but will definitely phase ‘em out once I can commission some custom masters 🥰 (Which may be happening within a month if lucky)

EDIT:

These guys will be up tomorrow(Monday) around 2 EST/EDT

Making your own dice molds: the legal stuff

So, I know lately I’ve seen a bunch of people trying their hand at casting their own resin dice, which is super exciting! I’ve seen some beautiful, beautiful designs lately. But what about the legal angle of casting your mold from another company’s dice? Lemmie of Lucky Hand Dice, who’s done her research on this one, has this to say:

“If you are making dice for yourself. It's totally fine. You bought the dice. You made the molds. You can make it and you can keep it.

If you are making dice to sell, this is where it gets fancy. So no company can trademark or copyright a simple geometric shape. Keyword here is simple. So the shape of dice (blank) is free game to copy and distribute. THE AREA WHERE YOU CAN GET IN TROUBLE IS, pay attention here kiddos, is copying the font. The font/typeface falls under copyright/trademark protection. While some fonts are more ambiguous than others, if you copy and sell dice with a font you did not make or purchase the rights to, the original company can sue you for copyright infringement. So if you want absolute peace of mind that you won't get into trouble, don't sell dice with someone else's mold and don't buy molds that you don't know if the seller has the typeface rights to.

Now what about if I just make dice and give it to people for free/in exchange for something non monetary? You can still get into trouble for trademark infringement. How? By either ruining their reputation or not being on brand. Ruining their reputation is by making a product that isn't up to their standards and deters away new customers because it's still recognizable as their product. The other way by not being on brand is that if a company only makes metal dice and you use their dice to make resin/non metal dice, it's not on brand with that company and you can get into trouble that way. Or if a company only makes opaque dice and you make translucent dice. You can only get in trouble this way if the company gets a hold of your dice, or if the person you gave it to takes pictures and posts it on the internet and the company finds it.

So if you plan on making and selling/distribute dice, you need to own the rights to the typeface you want to use for complete peace of mind.”
