Slinneanachd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Slinneanachd is a kind of divination formerly practiced in Scotland.
It involved inspecting the shoulderblades of an animal (usually a carcass), and according to one version, one had to eat the flesh of the animal without touching the bone with tooth or nail.
