Mongolian divination

2023-04-22

4 berkh – Mongolian divination.  

Mongolians revere certain parts of bones of their domestic livestock and use them in religious rites, plays and traditional games. 

One such use is divination with the knuckle bones. 4 sides of a knuckle bone are named after each domestic animal – Horse, Camel, Sheep and Goat.

How does it work?

  1. Pick up the 4 knuckle bones in your hand or in your right hand.
  2. Ask the knuckle bones what you would like them to foretell you and throw them.  
  3. Read your fortune according to how many of which animal is displayed.

It is believed that too many attempts will overturn your divination.  

Have a go and experience it yourself.
