Alectryomancy
Alectryomancy (also called alectoromancy or alectomancy) 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.
