  • La lampadomancia es una forma de adivinación que se realiza utilizando una sola lámpara de aceite o la llama de una antorcha. Como con la licnoscopia, el adivino lee presagios a partir de los movimientos de la llama. También se practica una alternativa al método, consistiendo en la lectura de puntos de carbono depositados sobre unas hojas de papel puestas sobre la llama. En otro método, el adivino usa la lámpara como medio para "atraer espíritus a las llamas" con la esperanza de consultarles considerando acontecimientos futuros. En este método, normalmente se emplea una lámpara especialmente diseñada, en la creencia que las formas grotescas atraerán a los espíritus. (es)
