Amniomancy comes from the latin word amnion which means membrane.

This method of divination is used by means of the membrane which sometimes envelopes the head of a baby at birth.the moment that the baby is born the inspection of embryonic sac.The person who is inspecting the sac will then predict the life of the newborn.


If the membrane is a red-colored, signifies that the child in question will have a happy life. But if the membrane's lead-colored, the infant will have misfortunes. Babies born with a caul in ancient Rome were believed to have a lot of good luck in other parts of the world it was believed that the person was going to be immune to witchcraft and protected from drowning.In some places they even dried the caul and kept it as a talisman against drowning and shipwreck, being sold amongst sailors for large sums of money.
