		After teaching the art of haruspicy to the Lucumones (high priests) of the twelve Etruscan tribes, Tages disappeared as suddenly as he had appeared.
		In order that Haruspicy be effective, the Haruspex must be mentally prepared and have the proper attitude of Respect for the Gods.
		The simpler theory of haruspicy is that by proper prayer and ritual in the Religio Romana, we may influence the gods to send us a sign, though they may choose not to do so, either through caprice or to suit their larger plan.

		"Haruspicy" is a method of divination that was practiced by the ancient Etruscans, who had an advanced civilization in Italy before the Roman Empire.
		The principles of haruspicy were contained in the Libri Tagetici, a collection of books dictated by Tages, who was said to be a childlike being unearthed in a field by Tarchon, a Tarquinian peasant.
		The documented practical application of haruspicy goes back 3000 years, so it may seem pointless to seek an explanation of its efficacy in modern terms.

		The official diviners were called augurers and haruspices, and their arts were known respectively as augury and haruspicy.
		Haruspicy consisted of two practices: reading the entrails of an animal, preferably a sheep (this was called epatoscomancy), and roasting the sheep's shoulderbone and reading the cracks therein.
		The liver was especially studied (this was called hepatomancy) and, while this method seems sick and ghoulish to modern ears, it was a well-recognized predictor of the future in many places in the world at that time.

		Haruspicy, as it is officially known, is an ancient process which was formerly thought to be a pagan practice.
		In any event, the discovery of the so-called "Haruspice Documents," (which, ironically, were found in a coal mine), is thought to lend more credence to the theory that the examination of animal entrails was a practice lauded by Madison, Hamilton, et al.
		Will, who gleefully remains trapped in the past and is an advocate of the "If we can't stand still, let's go backward" movement sweeping the country, has finally found a method ancient enough to satisfy his longing for the long ago.

		Augury is therefore distinct from haruspicy, which looks at the entrails (exta) of sacrificial animals to see if they had been acceptable to the gods (see modern method of haruspicy in Art of Harupsicy page).
		They were also said to have brought to Rome their form of augury.
		A similar practice is found in the Etruscan practice of haruspicy where the liver of a sacrificial animal is divided into sixteen sections, each associated with a particular divinity.

		If I would be Etrurian lucomone(which I'm not), I would scream the word "blasphemy" when someone would suggest replacing the liver with an egg.
		Although you are free to do as you want, If I ever start to use haruspicy as an method of divination, I would certainly use the bloody liver.
		On a sidenote, if and when someone comes to tell me that Aztec gods were "really happy and good gods" I'm going to puke.

		Every classicist knows that a pig spleen is the wrong organ: what you need is a sheep liver.
		That's what the ancient Etruscans used for their hepatoscopy or haruspicy or (one of my favorite words) extispicy (don't try to say that with a lisp).
		There is even a surviving model, the so-called Bronze Liver of Piacenza (see below), which turned up in a farmer's field in Italy in the late 19th century.

		More specifically, augury concerns signs brought from the gods by birds.
		Augury is therefore distinct from haruspicy, which looks at the entrails (exta) of sacrificial animals to see if they had been acceptable to the gods.
		This formula by Varro seems to indicate that other regions beyond the designated templum were also associated with divinities.

		We don't care if you use clairvoyance, omphilomancy, haruspicy — or just plain chess sense.
		Omphilomancy is divination by contemplating the navel, while haruspicy makes use of the entrails of animals to predict what is in store for us.
		If you balk at plain chess sense you may try studying your dreams (oneiromancy), smoke patterns (capnomancy), thunder and lightning (ceraunoscopy), or the eating patterns of chickens (alectryomancy).

		Esoteric divination techniques like metoposcopy (reading forehead wrinkles) and haruspicy (reading animal entrails) are included, as well as rhabdomancy (dowsing), chiromancy (palm reading), tasseomancy (reading tea leaves) and several more.
