According to the Word Museum, alectromantia was divination by a cock. One would draw a circle, and write in succession round it the letters of the alphabet; on each side of it lay a grain of corn. Then one would put a cock in the centre of the circle, and watch the grains he ate. The letters would prognosticate the answer. [From] Greek alector, cock, manteia, divination.
