It omits nothing.
Its knowledge Connects with the Tao of morning and evening.
Its Spirit knows no boundaries.
The I Ching has no form.

Hieromancy
Animals were sacrificed in divinatory rituals and their internal organs (notably the liver) were inspected for omens. Aside from oracles, it was the most important divination method of the classical world.

Geomancy, or divining by means of the earth, was originally carried out by making marks in the dirt with a divining stick, resulting in 16 binary figures.

Ornithomancy is an Ancient Greek practice of reading omens from the actions of birds. It was mainly the flights and songs of birds that were studied, any action could have been interpreted to either foretell the future or relate a message from the gods. https://twetch.app/t/4c81d1929c7c24bac23183492590364c42305e11d890618972e97032f35d0985

Osteomancy, has been performed by cultures the world over for thousands of years, the use of bones for divination. In some societies, bones were burned, and shamans or priests would use the results for scrying, called pyro-osteomancy.

Pyro-osteomancy is when seers tell the future based on the cracks in an animal bone or turtle shell either in their natural state or after having been burned. The cracks were then used to determine the future.

Bibliomancy is divination by books. The practice of bibliomancy involves turning to a random page in a sacred book and using that page to answer a posed question. Most common books used are theBible, the I Ching, the Mahabharata, and the Quran.

Allow your intuition to direct your choice of book. Close your eyes, concentrate on your question, and open the book at random. Open your eyes: the first words you read should form an answer to your question.

Cartomancy
This form of divination was spread across 14th century Europe by the gypsies and can be traced back through the Middle East. The original cards may have been developed in tenth century China, but their true origins are hidden in history.
