HistoryThe earliest verified account of lithomancy comes from Photius, the patriarch of Constantinople, who describes a physician named Eusebius using a stone called a baetulum to perform the ritual.[1][2] However, some writers also claim that Helenus predicted the destruction of Troy using the ritual.[3] PracticeLithomancy as a general term covers everything from two-stone and three-stone readings to open-ended stone castings utilizing an undetermined number of stones. [4] In one popular method, 13 stones are tossed onto a board and a prediction made based on the pattern in which they fall. The stones are representative of various concepts: fortune, magic, love, news, home life and the astrological planets of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the sun, and the moon.[5] References1. ^1 {{Cite book | last = Cheung | first = Theresa | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = The Element Encyclopedia of the Psychic World | publisher = Harper Element | series = | volume = | edition = | year = 2006 | location = | pages = 401 | url = | doi = | id = | isbn = 978-0-00-721148-7 | mr = | zbl = | jfm = }} {{Divination}}{{occult-stub}}2. ^{{cite book|title=An Encyclopaedia of Occultism|last=Spence|first= Lewis|publisher=Dover Publications|page=252|year=2003|ISBN=978-0-486-42613-6}} 3. ^{{Cite book | last = Elworthy | first = Frederick Thomas | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Evil Eye the Origins and Practices of Superstition | publisher = Kessinger Publishing | series = | volume = | edition = | year = 2003 | location = | pages = 444–445 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=zQRFFQuhLnYC&pg=PA444&dq=%22lithomancy%22&hl=en&ei=eQITTozdB86ChQfEm_H1DQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDkQ6AEwAzge#v=onepage&q=%22lithomancy%22&f=false | doi = | id = | isbn = 978-0-7661-3242-9 | mr = | zbl = | jfm = }} 4. ^{{cite book|title=Lithomancy: Divination and Spellcraft with Stones, Crystals, and Coins|last=Saint Germain|first=Jon|publisher=Lucky Mojo Curio Co.|ISBN=978-0996147194|year=2018}} 5. ^{{cite book|title=Witchcraft Today: An Encyclopedia of Wiccan and Neopagan Traditions|last=Lewis|first=James R.|publisher=ABC-CLIO|ISBN=978-1-57607-134-2|year=1999|page=177}} 1 : Divination |
