Divination With Birds, Clouds & Sky – Workshop

The ancient world used a variety of divinatory methods to answer their questions on life and the dilemmas that confronted them.

In this workshop, Suzanne Corbie explores the techniques of two ancient methods of divination that are still useful and relevant today. Beginning by explaining the history of their use and dispelling myths, she then moves on to teach the group how to carry out these forms of divination themselves. Here, participants will focus on divining through natural phenemona – learning to see signs and omens from the flight of birds and movement of clouds.

The methods explored are:

– divining by observing the behaviour of birds (the longest lasting divinatory technique in the ancient world)Augury/orthinomancy

– divining by observing phenomena of air and sky (clouds, wind, lightning)Aeromancy
