Alectryomancy, also known as rooster divination, is a form of divination that involves watching the behavior of roosters to predict future events. However, there are several synonyms for this word that can be used to describe different forms of divination. Augury is another type of divination that involves interpreting signs and omens in nature. Haruspicy, on the other hand, is a form of divination that involves examining the entrails of animals, usually sheep or chickens. Cartomancy is the practice of divination through the use of playing cards, while scrying involves gazing into a reflective surface such as a crystal ball or a mirror to see visions of the future.
