When you are puzzled and uncertain about the future, we recommend the following sure-fire methods of prediction:
Alextoromancy: Divination by observing the direction in which a rooster runs when let loose in a circle.
Belomancy: Foretelling the future by noting the flight patterns of randomly shot arrows, and their positions when they land.
Cereosccpy: Interpreting the patterns made when wax is placed in boiling water.
Cledonism: Extracting omens from the first words one hears upon awakening in the morning.
Kieidiscopy: Divination by interpreting the motions of a key swinging on a string.
Metoposcopy: Fortune telling based on the positions, sizes and shapes of moles and other blemishes upon one's body.
Scapulomancy: Reading the cracks and fissures in a roasted shoulder bone, usually of a sheep.
