[From Greek kleros chance, lot + -MANCY .]
Divination by lots.
Cleromancy is divination by the casting of lots or, more often, the rolling of dice. I rolled a fifteen, which means that a journey to be undertaken will yield profit or pleasure, which is funny, because later I'm going to walk to the local shop and buy a can of ginger beer. How did they know? How did they know?
Seriously: how did they know?
Do please roll out your most clear-sighted comments in the box below.
Well if 15 brings profit and pleasure, what will I get for 18?!
ReplyDeleteOr a measly 3?
Let me see ...
Delete18 means happiness, financial success or a rise in status. 3 means you'll win a can of Coke in a raffle.
All in all a pretty good night.
I don't like coke!
DeleteBut I'm good with the rest of it! :)
Ah, y'see. There's always a downside with these things. You don't get something for nothing, even in the supernatural plane. I'm afraid a can of coke is the price you must pay ...
