ANTHROPOMANCY — [Noun] Divination by the interpretation of human sacrificial entrails. From anthropo- (from Ancient Greek ἄνθρωπος (ánthrōpos, "man, mankind, human, humanity")) + -mancy (from Ancient Greek μαντεία (manteía, "divination")). Unlike "haruspicy" (which reads the future in the coiled viscera of beasts) or "necromancy" (which seeks answers from the departed), anthropomancy demands the ultimate price—the living, the present, the self. It is the priest’s knife glinting in torchlight, the steaming liver laid bare on the altar, the terrible silence as the oracle traces meaning in the labyrinth of veins—a reminder that prophecy, at its core, is the art of turning suffering into knowledge.
