 First recorded in Ancient Egyptian Mythology, ''Zygomancy'' was the Divination form of using Weights to determine The Present and Future. Most associated with The Scale of Immortality, written of in The ''Books of The Dead'', it was the ''counterweights'' of ''Justice and Goodness'' that were used to ''gauge'' The Human Heart (or Soul), as it would be Judged by The God Anubis. This was applied By Priests to ''The Living'', using specially constructed weights and counter-weights to foretell One's Future. The practice would later be found in Ancient Greek and Rome. Many other Cultures, both European and Non, have used some form of Zygomancy in their Folk Magic Beliefs.
