Not sure how many in this forum practice or 'believe' in this stuff, but I was thinking about divination. This ancient practice has experienced a renewed perspective in modern culture, often augmented and 'remixed' with our extended array of tools and knowledge. I feel it is time to start defining different colors of modern divination practice, and what better way than with the 'mancy' suffix? For instance, various branches of technomancy are showing great potential....or how about tryptamancy, lysergamancy, and arylcyclohexylmancy- using tryptamines, lysergamides, and arylcyclohexylamines for divination?

Here is a page that describes the etymology of the suffix. http://linguisticmystic.com/2007/05/21/a-truly-divine-suffix-mancy/
