bibliomancy

(BIB-lee-o-man-see) noun

   Divination by interpreting a passage picked at random from a book, especially from a religious book such as the Bible.

Check out the Wikpedia definition of how that is done. . .

"The most common procedure involves placing the book on its spine, and with eyes closed, allowing the book to fall open to a random page. Then, with the eyes still closed, place a finger on the open page and read the passage indicated."

I've known many christians who simply open the Bible to a text and read from where their eyes fall on the page. As a novice christian I was taught to "let God speak to me" in this way.

Hmmm.... sounds close to a divination practice

I've long not done this in 16 years as I favor Narrative and Exegetical study.  I find it rather ironic that I was taught a blatantly pagan practice while in an institutional church setting. I wonder how many more things like this exist in our "Christian Sub-culture?"
