Egg Test (Oomancy)

 I decided to try the ancient art of Oomancy—divination with eggs.

So, I went to my refrigerator, grabbed an egg and filled up a glass of water. The last “ingredient” you need is an open mind. Armed with these, I set out to uncover what secrets the egg might hold about my life.

Once I cleared my mind, as tradition advises, I cracked the egg into the glass of water. I must say, watching the egg whites slowly spread and form shapes in the water was mesmerizing- I had never done this before as I am usually only cracking eggs onto a hot pan.

At first, I wasn’t sure what I was looking for. But as I observed the patterns, I noticed what looked like tiny cobwebs rising off the egg. There were also several bubbles floating at the surface, and the yolk appeared to be surrounded by a jagged edge.

After a few minutes, here were my three biggest takeaways when interpreting my egg and doing research on what the symbolism meant.

•             The cobweb-like strands are thought to symbolize confusion or tangled energy in one’s life.

o   I can’t say this exactly explains my current life situation, but maybe oomancy is trying to tell me I need to work some things out to set my life in order.

• The bubbles are believed to represent the removal of negativity or the influence of the “evil eye.”
• Cool, I guess? Maybe the egg was helping cleanse me.
• Lastly, I read on one account that the jagged edge of the yolk could indicate uncertainty or a difficult path ahead.
• Not exactly what I wanted to read but maybe this divination is not entirely accurate.
