Question: Frederick Hockley participated in what means of divination or fortune-telling?
Context: Dōbutsu uranai (動物占い in Japanese) or "zoological fortune-telling" is a recent Japanese divination trend based on an animal horoscope.  Each person is categorized into an animal-type based on their birthdate, and based on their animal-type they are supposed to have certain personality traits.  There are four categories of animals, each representing a position on two axes: "self-centered vs. mindful of others" and "focused vs. easily distracted". The Sortes Astrampsychi (Oracles of Astrampsychus) was a popular Greco-Roman fortune-telling guide ascribed to Astrampsychus, identified by ancient authors as a magus who lived in Persia before the conquest of Alexander the Great, or an Egyptian sage serving a Ptolemaic king.  While other sortes (means of fortune-telling) involved the casting of dice, the "Sortes Astrampsychi" did not.  Instead, a questioner chose a prewritten question, to which a number was assigned; calling on divine inspiration, the questioner then spoke a number from one to ten, which was added to the question number; the oracle-monger then provided one of ten possible replies by consulting a numerical index.  The text is known from thirteen papyrus fragments of the third to sixth centuries CE, and from Byzantine manuscripts which date from the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries but are completely preserved.  The Byzantine texts add Christian religious elements. Serpents (Hebrew: נחש‎ ‎ "nāḥāš") are referred to in both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament.  The symbol of a serpent or snake played important roles in religious and cultural life of ancient Egypt, Canaan, Mesopotamia and Greece.  The serpent was a symbol of evil power and chaos from the underworld as well as a symbol of fertility, life and healing. " Nachash", Hebrew for "snake", is also associated with divination, including the verb-form meaning to practice divination or fortune-telling.  In the Hebrew Bible, "Nachash" occurs in the Torah to identify the serpent in Eden.  Throughout the Hebrew Bible, it is also used in conjunction with "saraph" to describe vicious serpents in the wilderness. " Tanniyn", a form of dragon-monster, also occurs throughout the Hebrew Bible.  In the Book of Exodus, the staffs of Moses and Aaron are turned into serpents, a "nachash" for Moses, a "tanniyn" for Aaron.  In the New Testament, the Book of Revelation makes use of "ancient serpent" and "the Dragon" several times to identify Satan or the devil.  (; ) The serpent is most often identified with the hubristic Satan, and sometimes with Lilith. Fortune-telling is the practice of predicting information about a person's life.  The scope of fortune-telling is in principle identical with the practice of divination.  The difference is that divination is the term used for predictions considered part of a religious ritual, invoking deities or spirits, while the term fortune-telling implies a less serious or formal setting, even one of popular culture, where belief in occult workings behind the prediction is less prominent than the concept of suggestion, spiritual or practical advisory or affirmation. Cartomancy is fortune-telling or divination using a deck of cards.  Forms of cartomancy appeared soon after playing cards were first introduced into Europe in the 14th century.  Practitioners of cartomancy are generally known as "cartomancers", "card readers", or simply "readers". The Ordo Secreta Sapientiae (Order of Secret Wisdom 1886 - 1898) was one of several initiatory Rosicrucian orders that developed during the Victorian magical revival, alongside such groups as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the Aurum Solis.  Its early membership consisted of former members of Kenneth MacKenzies's Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA) and students of Frederick Hockley, who died in 1885 and passed on many of his papers It is quite probable that the initiatory structure of the Ordo Secreta Sapientiae was borrowed from the SRIA, which was in turn borrowed from the German "Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross".  The focus of the Secreta Sapientiae was in excavating secret pagan symbolism buried within the art of Christian Europe, which they, and others, believed could be found in its painting and architecture.  Never achieving the fame of its contemporaries, the Ordo Secreta Sapientiae was dissolved in 1898, and its members began drifting into the orbit of the Golden Dawn, just as that organization was beginning to fracture Frederick Hockley (1809 – November 10, 1885) was a British occultist and scryer who was a London-based Freemason and a member of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia. Scrying (also known by various names such as "seeing" or "peeping") is the practice of looking into a suitable medium in the hope of detecting significant messages or visions.  The objective might be personal guidance, prophecy, revelation, or inspiration, but down the ages, scrying in various forms also has been a prominent means of divination or fortune-telling.  It remains popular in occult circles, discussed in many websites and books, both modern and centuries old. Tasseography (also known as tasseomancy or tassology) is a divination or fortune-telling method that interprets patterns in tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediments. Onychomancy or variously onuchomancy, onychomantia, onycomancy, onymancy (from Greek "onychos", 'fingernail', and "manteia", 'fortune-telling') is an ancient form of divination using fingernails.  It consists of watching the reflection of sunlight on the oiled fingernails of an unpolluted boy, then interpreting the symbols that appear.
