What are the three western divination techniques?

Western divination-1. Climate divination

Different from forecasting the weather, in the ancient divination form, the weather itself has the function of forecasting. People who believe in this kind of divination believe that atmospheric changes contain signs of the future, such as thunder, lightning, thick clouds, the intensity of wind direction and wind, and the appearance of halo around the sun and moon. The priests in ancient Babylon used this divination method, which is also the oldest divination method.

Western divination-II. Letter divination

In this ancient form of divination, the rooster plays an important role. The method of divination is to circle Roman letters, put rice on each letter, and then put a rooster in the center of the circle to watch it peck rice. The text below pecking rice is the information obtained. If the spelling is ambiguous, the fortune teller is responsible for explaining it. The finished meal will be supplemented immediately to ensure that all letters have equal opportunities.

Western divination -3. Salt divination

In many parts of the world, salt is considered to have magical functions. This method of divination is that the fortune teller sprinkles a handful of salt on the plane, and then guesses according to the shape obtained. This ancient divination method has something to do with what we call "unlucky to sprinkle salt" today. At the same time, many people also think that sprinkling salt on other people's shoulders, especially on the left shoulder, can bring good luck to people.

Western divination -4. Animal encounter method

People used to think that meeting animals accidentally was related to one's luck. In medieval Europe, meeting a goat or rabbit was considered to bring good luck, especially an escaped rabbit. If you meet a bat, crow or donkey, it means getting sick. The explanation of meeting the same animal in different cultures may not be exactly the same. For example, in the United States, seeing a black cat passing by is considered as a symbol of bad luck, but in Britain it is just the opposite.

Western divination -5. Dice divination

The way of divination in ancient Egypt was to roll dice, which has been used for centuries. Do you want to know how the name "dice" came from? It evolved from the Greek word "astragalos", which means that the joints or spines of animals are the original raw materials for making dice. In the medieval divination pamphlet, there is a relatively simple method of dice divination, which requires three dice. If you throw three sixes, it means that all your wishes will come true. Two sixes means that you will succeed, but you must work hard. 1 6 and 2 4 means you'd better forget it, what you think will never come true.
