sionnach commented on the list divine
I love these words. They are so delightfully quirky, telling us about what is obviously a deep-rooted human interest in trying to predict the future, and the bizarre ways people have gone about trying to do so.
The Phrontistery website has what may be the canonical list - rather than transcribe it over here, I generated candidate words by typing the two words augury and divination into Onelook's reverse dictionary.
