Divination or fortune-telling by interpreting the patterns and movements of the shoulders and arms.
From Greek 'armos' (shoulder joint) and '-mancy' (divination). A rare occult term combining ancient Greek elements for an obscure form of soothsaying.
Armomancy is one of hundreds of 'mancy' words (pyromancy, geomancy, ornithomancy) that show how ancient peoples tried to find meaning in everything—from fire to bird flight to body movements.
