This ancient form of divination was originally used to determine the guilt or innocence of people accused of sorcery. The suspect was placed in a large set of scales, with the great Bible from the local church placed on the other side. Any subject who weighed more than the great Bible was certainly guilty.

The post Bibliomancy appeared first on Richard Cassaro.

Richard Cassaro is a journalist, speaker and author of “Written In Stone: Decoding The Secret Masonic Religion Hidden In Gothic Cathedrals And World Architecture.” The book uncovers a lost Wisdom Tradition that was practiced globally in antiquity, found memorialized in pyramids, Triptychs, and identical images worldwide. The central tenets of this tradition have been perpetuated in Western Secret Societies. The most visible of these is the so-called “Masonic Fraternity,” an age-old chivalric Order whose ranks have included Europe’s Gothic cathedral builders and America’s Founding Fathers. Richard has two websites: www.DeeperTruth.com and www.RichardCassaro.com
