Lampadomancy




As with Lychnoscopy , the Diviner reads presages from the movements of the Flame . An alternate method is also practiced, consisting of reading the spots of Carbon deposited on Paper sheets held over the flame.

In yet another method, the diviner uses the lamp as a means of "attracting Spirit s to the flames", in the hope of consulting them regarding future events. In this method, usually a specially designed lamp is employed, on the belief that Grotesque forms will attract the spirits.

Lampadomancy was a popular method of divination in ancient Egypt , where diviners would perform it at midday in a darkened room Illuminated by a single lamp filled with Oasis Oil .
