WHAT IS STICHOMANCY?

Picture
Old bookshops & the library are very much my second home, yes i confess i am a total bookworm! As i meander along the rows of books, i will quiet often turn my hand to some Stichomancy.

Stichomancy, which translated literally means "divination by lines" is an Ancient Greek & Roman form of divination, through reading random selections of passages or verses in books.  


Other variations of this are "Rhapsodomancy" using the same method but with poetry & "Bibliomancy" was when using the Bible & other scares texts such as the Koran.

STICHOMANCY INSTRUCTIONS

Aswell as divination, Stichomancy was also practiced as a magickal healing method. 
  • First think of a question
  • Then pick up a book that you feel drawn to & open it at a random page
  • Once your on the page, close your eyes & run your finger down the page, where your finger stops read the passage or sentence, this holds the wisdom that you need to know at that precise moment in time
  • Thank the book by giving the front & back of the cover three little taps with your left hand

This can either be done once for a simple direct question OR for a more complex question you could repeat this four times for each of the elements, these being; Fire - spiritual passion, Water - emotions, Air - mental clarity & Earth - the physical & action.  

If repeating this Four times follow this method: 

  • First passage -  is for what you can learn from your situation on a spiritual level
  • Second passage - is how this effects your emotions & the role that they play in the outcome 
  • Third passage -  is what you can focus on to gain mental clarity
  • Fourth passage -  is what action you need to take & what outcome is most likely

Though not commonly practiced today, contemporary psychic's often mention amazing results. 
Both Stichomancy & Rhapsodomancy are very easy & versatile forms of divination, many people do this with the I-Ching rather than casting the coins. In times gone by, Shakespeare, Nostrodamus, Homer, Virgil  & Rumi used to be very popular book choices. 

So whether your at home, in an old book shop or library, give it a little go & see what interesting things come up for you :)

Happy stichin' much love Natta )O(
