Divination or fortune-telling using fingers or finger-counting, an ancient mystical practice.
From Greek daktylos (finger) + manteia (divination). This term refers to occult practices from antiquity where practitioners would read finger bones or count on fingers to predict the future.
Medieval fortune-tellers used finger-based counting systems that were so complex they could predict everything from harvests to royal marriages—fingers were basically ancient calculators before numbers existed.
