17. AEROMANCY
*************

Aeromancy is the art of foretelling the future by the observation of atmospheric, air or sky phenomena. This goes beyond the range of weather prognostications, concentrating in such things as wind currents, cloud shape and formation, comets and falling stars, spectral formations, and other phenomena which are not normally seen or visible in the heavens. Even today such visions cause speculation and sometimes consternation among human viewers.

Some of the different forms of Aeromancy:

1.AUSTROMANCY, divination by observing the wind. ANEMOSCOPY is austromancy in which the wind direction and intensity is interpreted, whereas NEPHOMANCY is divination by the interpretation of the movement of clouds.

2.CERAUNOSCOPY, divination by the interpretation of thunder and lightning.

3.CHAOMANCY, divination by aerial visions, is nearly synonymous with aeromancy, but most often refers to NEPHOMANCY or COMETOMANCY, divination by the appearance of comet tails.

4.METEORMANCY, divination by meteors and shooting stars.

MODERN AEROMANCY – Some forms of modern aeromancy have taken a more introspective turn than their historical counterparts. For instance, modern nephomancy is a receptive, almost meditative process, by which a person is said to be able to examine their unconscious. The nephomancer studies the clouds, whose formations are random and constantly changing. The images and symbols the diviner picks out from the chaos are believed to have some sort of significance to the diviner, so long as he applies his own personal interpretations to the symbols, rather than those written or spoken about by another.
