    Divination by stones. I've seen this done a lot of different ways. Sometimes there are stones for earth, air, fire and water. Sometimes they use a stone for each astrological sign or planet. Sometimes there is a chart or a cloth with markings on it and the stones are let to fall on it, to see sectors certain stones land on. Sometimes it is read by the pattern of the stones, which ones fall together or not. People use a special set of gemstones or semiprecious stones, others use different colored pebbles, and I've even heard of M&Ms being used! I don't know how accurate divination by candy would be, but if the reading wasn't very good you could console yourself by eating the chocolate afterwards.
