Lecanomancy
A branch
of crystalomancy (divination
by water). One method was to throw objects into a full container of water
and to interpret the images they formed in the water, or the sounds made
when the objects struck the water.
Another, more elaborate method was to place a silver vase filled with water
on a moonlit night . Then let the light from a candle be reflected from
a blade of a knife onto the water and the inquirer comments on the images
formed on the water. A.G.H.
