Amniomancy
A form of
divination
practiced by using a caul,
or membrane which sometimes envelopes a child's head at birth. From inspecting
the caul wise women would foretell the future of the baby. If its color
is red then happy days or good fortune were ahead for the child, but if
it is lead-colored then misfortune laid in the child's path. A.G.H.
