Amniomancy

Amniomancy was a form of divination that involved examining the caul that occasionally covered the head and face of a newborn, and was typically performed by midwives. The name is derived from the Greek "amnios", used to refer to this caul. de Plancy, J. C., (1863). Dictionnaire Infernal. 6ed. pg.28
