Bibliomancy

I subscribe to Anu Garg's Wordsmith which sends me A.Word A.Day via email.This is what I found in my inbox couple of days back...

bibliomancy (bib-lee-o-man-see) noun
Divination by intrepreting a passage picked at random from a book,especially from a religious book such as a Bible.

If you are having a hard time deciding between turning groupie and following your favorite band around or to stay put in your accounting job, help is at hand.

Try bibliomancy.

Here's the step-by-step method:
1. Pick a book you trust a lot.
2. Put it on its spine, and let it fall open.
3. With your eyes closed, trace your finger to a passage.
4. Interpret the passage as your lifemap to the future.

You could even add more randomness to the process. To do that at the macro level, visit a library and pick a book at random from the shelves. At the micro level, instead of interpreting a passage, pick a single word and let it point you to your path.

Then you could try awadmancy -- divination based on words from AWAD.

How I wish I had the guts to make choices in life by bibliomancy!!
