Background
Cleromancy is divination by means normally considered random, such as rolling dice, that some believe reveals the will of a deity. Many of the methods in this catalog, from I Ching coins to kau cim sticks, belong to it.
How it works
Marked objects are cast or drawn and the outcome is read against a fixed table of answers.
