An ancient divination or fortune-telling practice supposedly based on examining blood, or the study of blood as a means of prophecy.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'manteia' (divination or prophecy). This term describes one of many '-mancy' practices that ancient people believed could predict the future.
Hematomancy appears in ancient texts as a practice where seers would interpret patterns in blood, similar to how other cultures read tea leaves or animal entrails—showing how universal the human desire to predict the future really is.
