Hey, y’all, it’s Weird Wednesday! Where on some Wednesdays, I blog about weird stuff and give writing prompts.

Today: What Next? Methods of Divination

Today we’re trying to make the unknown, well, known. Divination is telling the future through supernatural means. You’ve probably heard of cartomancy (Tarot or playing cards), crystallomancy (crystal balls), and chiromancy (palm reading). We'll look at some rarer rituals, including ornithomancy (birds), cleidomancy (keys), margaritomancy (no this is not getting drunk enough to prophesy, it means pearls), gyromancy (dizziness - no, really), and of course, necromancy (the dead).

Check out the blog post for the whole story and some prescient prompts, such as these for ornithomancy:

Baring your soul. In an alternate universe, what if birds were not animals, but souls of the dead, who could now see the future? Would they give false predictions or true? Would they communicate in pre-arranged bird-code to still-living family members so no one else could understand? Would some birds disagree with each other, leaving the living bewildered? What if each bird could give only one message before passing into the next world?

It’s a bird cage. How about a dystopian universe where birds are nearly extinct, but people are fighting to save them as the only chance they have to know the future. Perhaps there’s an aviary housing the last living birds, and people pay large sums of money to visit or watch a video feed, trying to find a way out of the mess society has become. Who would own the aviary, and can they be trusted?

Top Tens - Mythology: Top 10 Mancy (Special Mention) (14) Dipsomancy

  (14) DIPSOMANCY (MARGARITOMANCY) Sometimes you drink the bottle and sometimes the bottle drinks you. Essentially a narrower subset of narcomancy, dipsomancy is what I’ve coined for divination by alcohol or drunkeness – from the same Greek root (dipso- for thirst) that gives us dipsomania, a fancy word for alcoholism. Again there’s some fun fantasy potential for dipsomancy as a magical way of…

Margaritomancy- I drink two pitchers of margaritas and tell people their futures

Do you have any resources on margaritomancy? I would love to start divining with pearls, but I just can't seem to find anything about it!

I've looked into it and there are practically no sources! However, I've found there are different methods to use pearls in divination that tend to be really specific.I assume you want to use them in the way you use rune stones or bones, so it'd be worth researching these methods and then applying them to pearls.

Hello everyone! My name is Margarita :)

I used to roleplay on a lovely site formerly known as Polyvore under usernames such as mirrorboo44i27 , margiexbixdominicana , dvsktilldawn , depuceler , k0wai , slvts/s-lvts, and margaritomancy.

If you remember me and you'd like to roleplay/again, do send me a message on here :) at the moment I am only accepting roleplays from admins/btas/oocs 18+ as I am about to turn 21.

A large, exuberant grin was plastered on the six fingered man’s face as he strolled through the bustling, summer warmed streets of the town. He couldn’t hide his excitement, and he didn’t want to. Being there, among the sand and surf and salt made him feel 10 years old again. It was his brother’s idea to take a bit of a vacation and while Stanford had been against it at first, all thoughts of apprehension were wiped from his face at the first sight of the water. 

His head swiveled left and right, eyes taking in all the sights they could. Little restaurants here and there, tourist attractions and shops. It made him downright giddy to think of all the things he and Stanley would be able to do there and for a brief moment, the thought of even settling down there had crossed his mind. He couldn’t dwell on it for too long, though. Not when he was suddenly stumbling forward, his foot caught between someone else’s and nearly causing the two to topple over. 

“Are you alright?  I’m sorry. I should’ve  been watching where I was going,”

send one for my muse’s reaction to your muse ▄ = telling them a joke .

@margaritomancy

The nun’s brows furrowed in confusion at the other’s words, unsure of what they just said to her. “Why would a duck be drinking in a bar?” She asked in all seriousness, “they do not consume alcoholic beverages or carry money, for that matter.”
