 Alectryomancy - Acadine Archive
Alectryomancy, or Alectormancy as it is sometimes called, is an ancient method of divination with a cock.
In the fourth song of the Caquet Bonbec, of Jonquieres, a poet of the fourteenth century, the details of an operation in Alectryomancy are exactly and curiously set forth.
In practising it, a circle must be made in a good close place, and this must be divided equally into as many parts as there are letters in the alphabet.

 Alectryomancy
Alectryomancy (also called alectromancy) is a form of divination in which the diviner observes a bird, several birds (or most preferably a white rooster or cockerel) pecking at grain (such as wheat) that the diviner has scattered on the ground.
The observer may place grain in the shape of letters and thus discern a divinatory revelation by noting which letters the birds peck at, or the diviner may just interpret the pattern left by the birds' pecking in randomly scattered grain.

The “hen oracle,” through a practice of divination known as alectryomancy, was consulted for answers to life’s pressing problems.
They believed hens and roosters to be fortunetellers - the hen because she squawked before laying an egg, and the rooster for sounding off at the beginning of each day.
A circle, traced on the ground, was divided into about twenty parts, representing the letters of the Etruscan alphabet.

 Introduction to Gnosis #46
There is alectryomancy, divination by means of a cock, whereby seeds or grains are placed on letters of the alphabet; by picking certain ones, the bird spells out the response.
In aeromancy, you throw sand or grain in the air and read an answer in the way it falls, while ceromancy involves dropping hot wax into water and descrying meaning in the shapes of the wax as it cools.
But divination has taken on far more diverse guises than these.
