Cleromancy

Cleromancy is a type of fortune-telling that has been around for a very long time. It is a way of predicting the future by taking small objects, like stones or sticks, and throwing them on a surface.

It works like this: first, you have to gather your objects together. Let's pretend you have some small pebbles you found outside. Next, you need to shake them up in your hands a couple of times, then throw them onto a table or the ground.

Now comes the tricky part – you have to look at how the pebbles landed and what pattern they made. Depending on the pattern, you can interpret that as a message or answer to a question you have.

For example, if the pebbles landed in a straight line, it could mean that you need to stay focused on your goals. If they landed in a circle, it could mean that you need to pay more attention to the people around you.

People have been using cleromancy for thousands of years to try to get answers to important questions about their lives. It can be an exciting way to learn more about yourself and the world around you!
