One of the oldest and most widespread methods of divining the future, both among primitive people and among several of the civilizations of antiquity, was the reading of omens in the signs noted on the liver of the animal offered as a sacrifice to some deity.
Thus the Zulu says to the ancestral ghost, Help me or you will feed on nettles; whilst the still more primitive Australian exclaims to the dead hand that he carries about with him as a kind of divining-rod, Guide me aright, or I throw you to the dogs.
