Xylomancy
Xylomancy interprets wood, branches or wooden pieces in divinatory settings.How to approach it
A reading begins by recognising a sign and relating it to a question. Describe the observation first, then explore its associations: the image opens a reflection rather than imposing a conclusion.
An important distinction
Compilations describe variants involving arrangement, discovery or burning; the name identifies no single ritual.
An example to explore
In a photograph of fallen branches, a fork can prompt reflection on alternatives without moving or burning anything.
Taking the idea further
To explore further, compare the related concepts and note differences in material, procedure and interpretation. If you open a related tool, read its own rules; sharing a symbol does not mean carrying out the same practice.
