Belomancy
The flight of arrows at targets to determine an outcome of a situation.
Bibliomancy
For this practice, a simple book is required. The diviner flicks through its pages and stops randomly and points at a page, with their eyes closed. The sentence or paragraph that the finger lands on is taken as an answer on the question asked previous to the pointing. For centuries the Bible was the book chosen for use but later classics such as Shakespeare also became popular. But nearly any type book is worth a try.
Ceromancy
This relies upon wax melted into a brass bowl. The wax is then slowly pured into a bowl filled with cold water. As the wax hits the water it congeals and the shapes that are formed can be interpretted by the seer or diviner.
Chiromancy
The lines of the hand.
Tasseomancy
As seen in Prisoner of Azkaban, this is the practice of tea-leaf reading. A cup is filled with tea, it is drunk and then the shapes that the dregs from the tea form are interpretted to predict the drinkers fate.
Geomancy
A handful of dirt is held and then tossed to the ground. The patterns that it forms can then be interpretted.
Paper Geomancy
Eyes closed, the Seer poses a question, with a pencil or quill in hand, held over a piece of paper and then taps the point on said paper, making random marks/patterns. The practice is ended when it feels necessary and then the patterns are interpretted.
