(Before It's News)

Also known as acutomanzia, this ancient form of divination uses a number of sharp and pointed objects, such as pins or needles, to tell the future. In ancient times, Gypsies would use needles as pointers while performing readings. In this method seven (and up to twenty one) needles are dropped into a shallow bowl containing water. The future is read from the patterns of the needles in the water. Some diviners were content to dispense with the water, using a table or other flat surface instead. Another method, known as acutomanzia, uses thirteen pins – ten straight and three bent ones. The pins are shaken and then dropped onto a flat surface which has been lightly dusted with flour, dust, or other powdery substance. The diviner would seek information from the needles and the designs made in the substance. Many of the designs are lines – broken or parallel, vertical or horizontal. Broken lines are seen as indicating travel or a great journey. Parallel lines represent money in the future, though that money may be either given or taken. Vertical lines represent guided roads that we are meant to take, while horizontal lines may show us our fate.

Richard Cassaro is a journalist, speaker and author of “Written In Stone: Decoding The Secret Masonic Religion Hidden In Gothic Cathedrals And World Architecture.” The book uncovers a lost Wisdom Tradition that was practiced globally in antiquity, found memorialized in pyramids, Triptychs, and identical images worldwide. The central tenets of this tradition have been perpetuated in Western Secret Societies. The most visible of these is the so-called “Masonic Fraternity,” an age-old chivalric Order whose ranks have included Europe’s Gothic cathedral builders and America’s Founding Fathers.
