Extispicy
Also known as
Extispicium (also the name of one of the instruments used in the
practice of it), Splanchomancy (see Anthropomancy),
Haruspicy, Aruspicy, Hieroscopia,
and Hieroscopy. Divination
by means of the examination of the entrails of sacrificed animals, which
afterwards were burnt in a sacrificial fire. Sometimes the observation
of how the flame burnt the sacrifice was also necessary for the
prognostication. This form of divination is sometimes considered to be
part of augury. The practice of Extispicy came to the Greeks
and Romans from either the
Etruscans or the earlier cultures of Babylonia and Assyria. Its
underlying theory was that when an animal — usually a sheep or an ox
— was sacrificed, it was absorbed by the god to which it had been
offered, creating a direct channel to the deity.
By opening the carcass, the haruspex
presumed to peek inside the god's mind and watch the future being
created.
This somewhat grisly ancient method of divination is still practiced
today in remote parts of the world. For the Gurung, a farming people
living in Nepal, the shape and color of a sacrificed chicken's lungs may
foretell sickness or good fortune.
The extispices of the Roman
religious colleges were the aruspices or augurs.
