Egg Divination

The mystical art of divination by eggs [known by such names as oomantia, ooscopy, and ovamancy] dates back to ancient times, and nearly every culture has practiced it in one form or another.

Egg divination has been employed by many to determine the gender of unborn children, and also to determine whether or not a person or animal has been cursed by the power of the evil eye.

Egg divination is quite simple to perform.  Usually all that is required is an uncooked hen egg which can be obtained at a supermarket or dairy.

To determine whether or not a pregnant woman will give birth to twins, she [or her fortuneteller] should rub an egg on her belly for a few minutes and then break the egg open into a saucer.  If it contains a single yolk, it indicates the birth of only one child; a double yolk indicates the birth of twins.  If the yolk is spotted with blood, it is a bad omen which could indicate either a miscarriage or serious complication during childbirth.

If you have a good imagination, you can use the following method of egg divination to predict a future event or to gain an answer to a specfic question:  Take an uncooked hen egg and prick the top and bottom of it with a pin or needle.  Allow three drops of the white of the egg to drip out in a clear drinking glass filled to the brim with cold water.  Over the course of the next few hours the egg white will spread through the glass, forming symbolic shapes, letters, and/or numbers which can be interpreted.

This ancient form of egg divination was practiced in Scotland on the eve of the old Druid New Year [Samhain}, in Spain on Saint John's Eve, and in England on the last day of the year.
