Word of the Day - Lecanomancy



According to Wikepedia:


'Lecanomancy' is a form of divination in which a diviner uses stones, oil, or meditation, coupled with a basin of water. Stones are dropped in the basin and the sound of the dropping along with the ripples formed are interpreted. When oil is used, the oil is poured into the water and the shapes it forms are interpreted. For meditation, the water is gazed upon, invoking a
self-hypnotic state for divination.

And I thought I was just skippin' stones when I was a kid.
