Have you ever experienced true Stichomancy?

Answer 1

No but, I believed Stichomancy/Bibliomancy is the use of books in divination. The method of employing sacred books (especially specific words and verses) for 'magical medicine', for removing negative entities, or for divination is universal in all religions of the world. "What the Vedas were to the Hindus, Homer to the Greeks, and Ovid and Virgil to the Romans, the Old Testament was to the Jews, the Old and New Testaments to the Christians, and the Koran and Hafiz to the Mohammedans." (quoted from Jewish Encyclopedia)

Sometimes this term is used in the same way as Stichomancy and Libromancy, which is a form of divination that seeks to know the future by randomly selecting a passage from a book, frequently a sacred text.
Method:

1 Pick a book you believe to hold truth.
2 Balance it on its spine; let it fall open.
3 With eyes closed, touch your finger to any random passage.
4 View the passage as wisdom for your future.

Among Christians, the Bible is most commonly used, and in Islamic cultures the Qur'an. In the Middle Ages the use of Virgil's Aeneid was common in Europe and known as the sortes Virgilianae.

Because book owners frequently have favorite passages that the books open themselves to, some practitioners use dice or another randomiser to choose the page to be opened. This practice was formalized by the use of coins or yarrow stalks in consulting the I Ching. Tarot can also be considered a form of bibliomancy, with the main difference that the cards (pages) are unbound.

Another variant requires the selection of a random book from a library before selecting the random passage from that book. This also holds if a book has fallen down from a shelf on its own.

Bibliomancy is a type of Stichomancy: "divination from lines". Some sources refer to bibliomancy as a specialized form of stichomancy, often falsely attributing the word root "biblio" to "the Bible", rather than books in general.

Answer 2

You can interpret anything in any way you wish. The mere fact that you are looking for an answer influences the outcome of the search. Think laterally, influence the outcome without divining what you believe to be the most likely outcome then treating this as a fait accompli. This is assertive and positive behaviour.

Answer 4

Never used I-Ching, but I did accurately predict that my forty-something aunt would have four children, two of each sex, using palmistry. She married a man (a horrible person, unfortunately) who initially told her he had two kids then admitted to another two after the wedding. Two boys, two girls.

I am well aware that this could be explained by coincidence but I allow myself the occasional smug thought about that little success. Just wish I had seen what a complete b*****d he was.

Answer 5

Nope, I think that people who claim to be able to foretell the future are not the real deal- even though many of them truly believe they are.

I believe there is much truth in the mystic arts, and plenty we do not know and cannot explain yet, but anyone who claims to read the future is a fraud or dilusional.
