Acultomancy is a practice that uses needles for readings. Using needles comes from the olden days where Gypsies used to read people and use needles as their pointers. Some say you have to use seven and some say use up to twenty one needles in a somewhat shallow bowl with water in it. You may also drop them onto a flat surface that has been coated with powder or flour. You are looking for the designs that the needles make in the substance.

Some of the main designs are lines. They may be broken, parallel, vertical, or horizontal in some fashion. The broken line may mean you will be traveling or heading on a new journey. The parallel lines may mean that money is in your future, either given or taken away. The vertical lines are meant as guided roads to take. The horizontal lines may mean what you fate will be.

There is another type of acultomancy and that is called Acutomancy. This practice uses sharp objects or anything that is pointed. Seven are dropped onto a table and the pattern is distinguished and read. Another practice along with this one is Acutomanzia. Acutomanzia employs thirteen pins. Ten must be straight and three are bent at an angle. They are also dropped into flour or powder of some sort to discern patterns.
