Is an ancient Divination method that old Babylonians and Greeks were know to use. The method employs arrows and sometimes specific feathers attached to the arrow shaft.
One arrow was inscribed with ?G?d orders me? other with the phrase ?G?d forbids me? while the third was left with nothing inscribed blank.
One than says the question at loud at sends the arrow away. The one that flew away furthest was considered an answer. If it was a blank one the procedure would be repeated.
Another version called for arrows to be placed quiver worn on backs and the arrow was then randomly taken/drawn put of it. If the blank arrow was drawn the procedure was repeated.
