Ekaterina Boldyreva, Using Shoulder Blades and a Dog for Divination's image
Description: Ekaterina’s grandmother used to do divination on marriage prospects for girls. For this she used sheep’s shoulder blades and a dog. She would write the names of several girls on the blades and put them on the floor. Then she would let a dog in to pick up a bone. The first blade bone that the dog chose indicated which girl would marry first.
