(also called alectoromancy or alectromancy)
derivation comes from the Greek words alectryon and manteia, which mean rooster and divination respectively) is a form of divination in which the diviner observes a bird, several birds (or most preferably a white rooster or cockerel) pecking at grain (such as wheat) that the diviner has scattered on the ground. The observer may place grain in the shape of letters and thus discern a divinatory revelation by noting which letters the birds peck at, or the diviner may just interpret the pattern left by the birds' pecking in randomly scattered grain.
In another version, the observer tethers the bird in the center of a circle, around the perimeter of which is marked the alphabet, with a piece of grain at each letter. For each grain the bird pecks, the observer writes down the letter which that grain represents. The observer also replaces each grain as the bird eats it, so that letters may be repeated. The sequence of letters recorded will presumably contain a message.
This form of divination is related to Ouija, by the random selection of letters; and gyromancy by the random selection of letters from a circle around the diviner themself; and to orniscopy, divination by the movements of birds.
Alectormancy is also sacrificing a sacred rooster.

Get the Ajeethen mug.A great dancer who really loves chocolate and sweet food in general. She usually helps everybody with love trouble and falls crazy in love with spanish guys. She can be really funny at times but don't make her angry or you'll probably be dead in a matter of seconds, the only defense to her attacks is to throw huge pieces of chocolate right at her.
"Have you seen the moves of that girl? -Yeah, that s an Aleftina"
"I was feeling really sad but then a random Aleftina appeared and offered me chocolate"
