--Before consulting Oracle of the Goose equip yourself with two dice (medium sized). Construct a small token to represent oneself and one to represent a querent who might ask of you an interpretation. Dedicate these to the Oracle. Using them for no other purpose. Do get a new notebook and take note of every query and throw. This is of enormous help as you go forward having combinations and seeing repeats, generally learning interpretation deeper as you practice.
