This practice requires careful observation of the skies, including clouds, birds, and precipitation. While it can be considered a form of weather forecasting, its primary use is in seeking prophetic insights. The term "aeromancy" has been in use since at least 1594. It is one of many forms of divination, such as chiromancy (palm reading) and cartomancy (card reading).123
