Acuto-manzia
Acuto-manzia
Unusual form of divination by pins practiced by Italian psychic Maria Rosa Donati-Evstigneeff. Ten straight pins and three bent pins are used. They are shaken in cupped hands, then dropped onto a surface dusted with powder. This system would seem to involve some psychic faculty, and is related to such forms of divination as geomancy and tea leaves.
