Slinneanachd

From The Book of THoTH (Leaves of Wisdom)

Slinneanachd is a kind of divination formerly practiced in Scotland.

It involved inspecting the shoulderblades of an animal (usually a carcass), and according to one version, one had to eat the flesh of the animal without touching the bone with tooth or nail.
