Lampodomancy
A form of
divination
involving indications from a flame, its form, color, and movements, of an
oil lamp or torch. A flame having a single point was an indication of good
fortune, but when having two points it indicated bad luck. A flame that
was bent might indicate illness. Sparks were thought to indicate forthcoming
news, while the sudden extinguishing of the flame indicated disaster. A.G.H.
