Sortes Astrampsychi
In the book “Sortes Astrampsychi” (Lots of Astrampsychus) gives a list of questions the querant can choose from and a set of 10 answers for each
question. So, the querant
would choose a question pertaining to their concern then either think of a
number (without viewing the list of answers) or cast some kind of lot and
whatever numerical value the lot showed would be the answer to the querants question.

Astrampsychi.
