Bibliomancy
A method
divination
of to determine if a person is guilty of sorcery. The individual was weighed
against the big Bible in a Church. If the person weighed less then he was
not guilty.
Another method of this divination was to randomly open the Bible and place
a finger on a passage and believe the passage indicated the course of future
action which the individual was to take. Later other works were used in
the divination such as the Greek epics, classical poetry, and Shakespeare.
Method related to rhasodomancy and stichomancy. A.G.H.
