The story behind Lithomancy
Casting lots with stones is attested across several ancient cultures, and later European sources describe stones assigned to planets; the surviving accounts differ so widely that no single method can be called the traditional one.
Why Lithomancy matters
Lithomancy matters because it links mineral objects with chance-based interpretation traditions.
