The not-so-popular art of divination of a person’s traits such as position in society or his personality based on the footprints he leaves. Footprints could have been left on sand, mud or other surfaces. Imnomancy was based on bare footprints , so the footprint left on the moon would be useless in this matter .
Ichomancy items are referred to as ichnomatic. The word comes from the Greek language in which ikhnos means a trace, and manteia means a prophecy. Like most practices, this one comes from the ancient world.
