As an auspicious start to the Year of the Tiger, I thought it appropriate to have a fortune-telling SNED.
There are a lot of ways to tell fortunes. Perhaps you’ve heard of bibliomancy, which is a sort of divination or fortune-telling wherein you randomly open a book and point to the text and find your tiny scrap of meaning therein. Or necromancy, wherein one communicates with the dead in order to reveal some sort of prediction. Or pyromancy, which is divination by flames.
On the other hand, you, like me, probably were not aware of spatulamancy, which is divination via a sheep’s shoulder blade. Or pessomancy, divination by means of pebbles. Or alphitomancy, divination through barley meal.
You, like me, would probably like Wordnik’s mancy tag. Enjoy.
