🌾 ALEUROMANCY
Scottish Highlands hearth divination
Bread baked for divination rises with a single deep crack down the center
INTERPRETATION
A decisive split is coming — but the bread still holds together. The crack runs deep but does not sever. Whatever divides will remain connected at the base. Two paths emerge from one origin, and both are nourishing.
METHOD
Bannock baked on the hearthstone; cracks and shapes in the finished bread are read for the household's future.
ASSOCIATED OCCASION
Beltane (May 1) — the Beltane bannock, portions of which are cast into the fire as offerings to protective spirits.
