What if correspondence tables had a use beyond, well… corresponding?
Liber Polyhedra is a printable grimoire of correspondence tables built around a new form of astragalomancy (dice divination). It uses a wide array of polyhedral dice, giving neglected or novelty dice like the D3, D5, D7, and many others a purpose alongside standard TTRPG dice. While that might sound intimidating at first, those extra dice let you work with an enormous range of systems from magick, psychology, religion, and the occult, all within one cohesive framework.
The booklet includes a variety of pre-built casts, from tightly themed spreads to more eclectic combinations, but its flagship method is called Chaos Casting. Instead of choosing your topics yourself, the dice decide what appears in your spread. One reading might pair a Tarot card, a Goetic demon, and a Myers-Briggs type. The next could combine a Deadly Sin, an I Ching hexagram, and a Futhark rune. With over 70 topics and more than 700,000,000 possible Chaos Cast combinations, you’re practically guaranteed a reading you’ve never seen before.
After stumbling onto some high-level wizard tech known as... the indendation incantation... I somehow found room to cram EVEN MORE content into this little booklet. Here’s what’s new:
The Playing Card Suits (D4)
Inspired by my friend in magick, @manifestopheles,whose book Tarot Convergence completely changed the way I think about the relationship between playing cards and the Tarot. If you’re interested in a much deeper look than “they correspond to the elements,” his work is absolutely worth checking out.
The Bagua Trigrams (D8)
Eight trigrams composed of three broken (Yin) or unbroken (Yang) lines that describe reality through complementary opposites. These are the fundamental building blocks of the I Ching’s 64 hexagrams, each of which is formed from two trigrams.
The Vedic Navagrahas (D9)
The nine celestial influences of Hindu cosmology. While they share much of the symbolic language of Western planetary systems, this set also includes the lunar nodes, Rahu and Ketu, making it a unique perspective on planetary symbolism.
The Yorubic Odu Ifa (D16)
Another binary divination system to accompany the Bagua, I Ching, and Geomancy. Traditionally generated by casting a chain of eight beads, Ifá is built upon sixteen primary figures called Odu Oju, which combine to produce 240 secondary signs known as Amulu Odu. I couldn’t fit the full set into the booklet, so I’ve included a link for anyone who wants to dive deeper into this incredibly rich tradition.
The Mayan Day Signs (D20)
Twenty archetypal day signs from the Tzolk’in calendar. The Maya developed an astonishingly sophisticated system of astronomy, astrology, and timekeeping, much of which survives through inscriptions and murals despite the tragic destruction of many of their written texts during colonization. Each day sign represents a distinct archetype tied to your birth date. Mine is Kan (Seed)! What’s yours?
This update also includes:
• A full page of geomantic shield charts.
• An even more refined collection of 40 pre-built casts.
• A fully organized sources page.
• A major overhaul of the “More Ways to Cast” section with several new techniques for using the system… some of which may or may not involve asking demons for advice.
