Bibliomancy

Bibliomancy, divination by means of a book, generally the Bible, although in the Sortes Virgilianae a precisely similar method was adopted with Virgil's works. The person who wished to employ bibliomancy opened the chosen book at random, and applied the first passage on which his eye fell to the particular point in which he was in need of guidance.
