Hydromancy

Three stones are dropped into a pool of water, one at a time. The first must be round, the second must be triangular and the third must be square shaped. The diviner must study the patterns of the ripples in the water as the stones are dropped and look for images or reflections that can be interpreted.


Myomancy

This based on the appearance (the appearance of them being present in a room through surprise or unawares - mice/rats aren't used for this practice, the practice is based on whether they appear or not), colour and sounds of mice. A variety of predictions are made while observing the mice or sometimes, rats. Tell-tale signs of their prescence like teeth or foot marks can be used.

Padomancy

This is similar to palmistry except that it is the soles of the feet that are observed for this practice.

Palmistry

Much like Padomancy, the pamls of the hands are studied and lines, shapes, shadows or bruises are interpreted to tell the persons fortune or fate.

Xylomancy

These are patterns made by fallen trees, branches, twigs, or other pieces of wood lying on the ground or in earth or dirt. The ground surrounding and underneath them are studied and interpreted. (The patterns and lines left by them). Naturally fallen brances can be used, however to predict a personal fortune, one can strip a branch and randomly toss it to the ground themselves, forming a random pattern in the earth or dirt.
