Chronomancy

/ˈkrɑːnəmænsi/ noun

Definition

The practice of divining or predicting the future by studying time patterns and temporal cycles.

Etymology

From Greek chronos (time) and -manteia (divination). This is a modern coinage combining the root for time with the suffix for fortune-telling, similar to necromancy or geomancy.

Kelly Says

Chronomancy is the magical cousin of chronology—instead of tracking what already happened, it tries to predict what will happen next by reading the patterns of time itself, making it a fascinating bridge between science and mysticism.
