名詞
cyclomancy (uncountable)
- Divination by interpreting wheels or any other revolving objects.
- 1970 Zolar Encyc. of Ancient & Forbidden Knowledge
- CYCLOMANCY: Pertains to divination from a turning wheel.
- 1973 Gibson Complete Illust. Bk Div. & Prophecy
- CYCLOMANCY: Divination depending upon a revolving device...the decision of the wheel is automatically fulfilled, so it is not surprising that many people believe that questions concerning their future can be answered by a similar contrivance. Spinning arrows may be used instead of revolving wheels for telling fortunes; and, on the lighter side, cyclomancy has survived in various parlor games, such as "spin the bottle."

Cyclomancy is a form of divination based on spinning an object and deriving predictions or conclusions from the object's final resting direction. In some traditions, a wheel or top is spun on a surface marked with letters or symbols, and those that fall closest to the device's pointer are consulted. In other traditions, any suitable object may be spun and its direction may be used to obtain a simple yes/no answer or directional indicator. For example an object with a distinguishing feature may be spun between two diverging paths or disparate objects, and the one closest to the feature is chosen. The party game Spin the Bottle is loosely based on this concept.
