Cubomancy

/kjuːˈbɒmænsi/ noun

Definition

Divination or fortune-telling using cubes or cube-shaped objects.

Etymology

From Latin 'cubus' (cube) combined with Greek 'manteia' (divination), a theoretical term for predicting the future by interpreting patterns made by rolled cubes.

Kelly Says

Cubomancy is essentially fortune-telling with dice—and dice divination has ancient roots, with Romans using knucklebones called 'astragali' for similar purposes centuries before modern cube-divination methods.
