According to The Writer's Complete Fantasy Reference, "margaritomancy" is a form of divination involving pearls.

I am struck by the urge to revive my urban fantasy PI storyline in order to set up a joke involving this term, my main character, her witchcraft-practicing associate, and some tequila.

Note to self: next time I'm in a bookstore, must check the New Age section for something to use as a reference for veg-o-magic.

Ahee.

I'm a fan of this idea. Of course, I also want to write an urban fantasy character who practices divination by setting her MP3 list on random play.


And hee! Veg-o-magic!

Hey, you could probably get a lot of mileage out of divinatory song lyrics. Of course, the issue of rights might make something like that sticky to get published; I am not sure of the rules regarding the use of lyrics, or whether or not there are also rules about referencing songs without necessarily quoting them.
