A person who practices anthropomancy; someone who claims to divine the future through human sacrifice or observation of human remains.
From 'anthropomancy' + '-ist' suffix indicating a practitioner. This term appears rarely in historical and anthropological texts describing religious specialists in cultures practicing extreme divination.
Unlike most '-mantist' words that feel distant (like 'cartomantist' for tarot readers), 'anthropomantist' is deeply uncomfortable because it names people who justified killing others for prophecy—that's why you rarely see it used.
