Alomancy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Alomancy (from Greek halo, 'salt', and manteia, divination), also called Adromancy, ydromancie, idromancie, and halomancy, is an ancient form of divination. One form of Alomancy consists of the casting of salt into a fire, which is considered a type of Pyromancy. Salt itself is often intertwined with luck and some of this ancient tradition can be seen in the superstitions, such as perceived misfortune when the salt cellar is overturned and the custom of throwing salt over the left shoulder for good luck. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Alomancy   (173 words)

Alomancy - Acadine Archive Alomancy is divination by means of salt, of which process little is known. It is this science which justifies people in saying that misfortune is about to fall on the household when the salt cellar is overturned. www.acadine.org /index.php/Alomancy   (55 words)

Divination Dictionary ALOMANCY- Divination practices by interpreting the symbolic patterns made by the sprinkling of sald. The old and well-known superstition that spilling salt brings bad luck and a pinch sprinkled over the left shoulder averts misfortune, more than likely stems from alomancy, which is also known as "halomancy". Another method calls for the salt to be cast into a fire, then interpreting whatever omens may appear in the flames. www.angelfire.com /wi3/divaz   (1956 words)

Divination Glossary What is remarkable is the fact that, in a time of prescriptive dictionaries, the lexicogrpahers of the day did not mark the form alomancy as incorrect or erroneous. I assume that one of the early users of this term, or even the coiner of this word, made the mistake of disregarding the aspiration, and hence concocted the form alomancy. This is the believed origin of misfortune or superstition including the one about people saying that misfortune is about to fall on the household when the salt cellar is overturned, and the one about throwing a pinch of salt over someone's shoulder for good luck. dewarlorx.com /divination.htm   (15764 words)
