Aeromancy
Aeromancy
The art of foretelling future events by the observation of atmospheric phenomena, as, for example, when the death of a great man is presaged by the appearance of a comet. Francois de la Tour Blanche stated that aeromancy is the art of fortune-telling by means of specters that are made to appear in the air, or the representation by the aid of demons, of future events, which are projected on the clouds as a film is projected onto a screen. "As for thunder and lightning," he adds, "these are concerned with auguries, and the aspect of the sky and of the planets belonging to the science of astrology."
