Bone-seeing

"I will become rich!"
"Yeah well I will marry my one true love!"
"Not fair, I'm gonna have a bunch of children and die young..."

— Three children doing Bone-seeing

Bone-seeing has its roots in pagan rituals to try and see into the future, where they used the bones from animals to determine what the gods wanted. Now a days no one really takes it seriously anymore and it has become a game for children.

The Bones

The "bones" as they are still called are usually made of horn, wood or cheaper minerals instead of only bone, and are short, flat sticks of varying size and shapes. On each bone a symbol is carved on both sides, with different colours for the different sides, usually red and black. The red side is the positive side and the black is the negative side.

The symbols and their meanings, positive/negative:

Rose
Skull
Leaf
Star
Tree
Water drop
Sun
Talon
Fish
Mountain

True love/Unrequited love
Long life/Die young
Riches/Poverty
Big family/Alone
Health/Sickness
Fame/Banishment
Street cred with God/Hated by God
Priest/Sewer worker
Big house/Homeless
Peace/War

The Game

One person plays at a time to determine their future. They take the bones and put them into a bag before shaking the bag and throwing the bones out on the ground or the table. They then look at the bones to see if each bone is positive or negative to determine if their future look bright in that particular aspect.
You can also ask the bones a single yes-or-no-question by asking your question while shaking the bag and then counting how many is positive and how many are negative. If there are more positive, the answer to your question is yes, otherwise no.

Interpretations

A lot of the symbols and their meanings have their roots in old traditions that are not always applicable today, especially not for children. Therefore there is a lot of different interpretations of the bones.

For example, the 'Banishment' bone is usually interpreted simply as 'you will not be liked' rather than actual banishment from your home.

The 'Priest/Sewer worker' is often also replaced with whatever occupation the person playing is aspiring to be as well as don't want to become.

"Oh how sweet, those children are playing bone-seeing! I used to play that a lot when I was a little boy."
"Oh? And what did you hope you would get?"
"Usually true love. Seems like the bones were right."

Footnote: Regarding the street cred with god, it simply means how much the god is on your side.
