Everything about Favomancy totally explained
Favomancy is a form of divination that used to be practized by
seers in
Russia, and in particular, the
Ubykh people. The practice involves throwing beans on the ground and interpreting the patterns in which the beans fall; it's therefore a type of
cleromancy. Russian methods of favomancy may still exist; however, since the departure of the Ubykhs from the Caucasus in
1864, details of exactly how Ubykh soothsayers interpreted the patterns formed by the beans are lost.
Etymology
Favomancy comes from the
Latin faba "bean" and formed by analogy with the names of similar
divination methods such as
alectromancy. The
Ubykh term for a favomancer simply means "bean-thrower", and later became a synonym for all
soothsayers and
seers in general.
