Discovering Favromancy: The Ancient Art of Bean Divination

For centuries, people have looked for signs in nature and everyday objects to guide them through life’s uncertainties. Favromancy, divination using beans, is one such ancient and earthy practice that connects us to cycles of growth, nourishment, and transformation.

Beans—simple, humble seeds—hold powerful symbolism: fertility, potential, grounding, and even mystery. Using beans for divination invites us to slow down, focus our intuition, and hear what the small signs whisper.

Visual

Imagine a small wooden bowl filled with a mix of beans — white, black, red, speckled — scattered gently across a linen cloth under soft candlelight.

Message
Today’s favromancy reading for you:
The beans fall scattered, a blend of light and shadow, reminding you that life is never just one shade. Growth happens in contrast—joy with struggle, clarity with doubt. This moment invites you to embrace your whole story without rushing to fix or deny any part. Trust the process unfolding beneath the surface.

Reflection
What contrasts are you experiencing right now?
How might holding space for both light and shadow help you grow?
What small seed of possibility might be waiting quietly beneath the surface?

Invitation
Try a simple favromancy reading for yourself: gather a handful of mixed beans, clear your mind, and scatter them gently. Notice the shapes, the colors, the patterns. What story do they tell you?

If you don’t have beans handy, think of an everyday object—a handful of stones, a scattering of leaves—and see what messages come through. In the dance of the ordinary, the extraordinary often speaks.
