Auspice

auspice, auspices, n., WOD-ism ("ow spiss," "ow spuh seez"): 1. in general use, observation by an augur (especially of the flight and feeding of birds) to discover omens; from Latin auspicium, from auspic-, auspex "diviner by birds," from avis "bird" + specere "to look, look at." 2. (gamerese) from White Wolf Games' Werewolf: The Apocalypse, the five social castes of the Garou, determined by the phase of the moon in which an individual garou was born; Ragabash (new moon; trickster), Theurge (crescent moon; seer), Philodox (half moon; judge), Galliard (gibbous moon; bard), Ahroun (full moon, warrior). Pl. auspices. [GJ1]

Addendum: There are some Werewolf players who get so into the ideas behind the game that they would determine what their auspice would be by looking up moon charts for their birth.
