Capnomancy

Capnomancy is a method of fortune telling that involves analysing smoke. Historically, Celtics would analyse the smoke from burning human or animal remains. Today, smoke from incense or candles is most commonly used, but there is discrepancy between the two, one being called capnomancy and the other is technically libanomancy.

Properties of the smoke such as its thickness, direction, shape and any images that can be seen in the smoke.

Capnomancy was traditionally an accompaniment to sacrifices, like in Celtic rituals as described above, to determine if the gods were pleased with the sacrifice.

Experience With Smoke Reading

I recently was shown how to read smoke signs by a local shaman. So after practicing for a while, I feel I’ve started to get the hang of it, my readings are a little bit unfocused for the most part. I’ve found that incense smoke is easier to read but gives less information than conventional fire or burning sage.
