Parapsychology
Dictionary on Alectormancy | | | Alectormancy: Also spelled as 'alectromancy' and 'alectryomancy', from the Greek 'alectruon' (cock) and 'manteia' (divination), the archaic divinatory practice of forecasting future events by placing a rooster or hen into a circle of grain, around which letters of the alphabet have been arranged. Answers to questions concerning the future are interpreted by which letters the bird chooses to feed at. Other variations included diving the future from the crowing of a cock or by reciting the letters of the alphabet, making special note of those letters which are spoken when a cock crows. The practice was especially popular in the Roman Empire to identify robbers and thieves. (See also: Alectormancy, Psychic, Psychic Dictionary, Parapsychology, Parapsychology Dictionary)
