Methods of divination

Innumerable methods of divination can be found around the world, and many cultures practice the same methods under different names. During the Middle Ages, scholars coined terms for many of these methods — some of which had hitherto been unnamed — in Medieval Latin, very often utilizing the suffix ''-mantia'' when the art seemed more mystical (ultimately from Greek ''mantis'', prophet) and the suffix ''-scopia'' when the art seemed more scientific (ultimately from Greek ''skopein'', to observe). Names like ''drimimantia'', ''nigromantia'', and ''horoscopia'' turned up, along with a slew of other esoteric (and distinctly Medieval) "sciences" such as phrenology and physiognomy.
Of course, some forms of divination are much older than the Middle Ages, like haruspication, while others (such as megapolisomancy or coffee-based tasseomancy) are born of the 20th and 21st century.
