 O-M-A-N-C-E, U-M-N-K-E sometimes O-V-O-M-N-K-E or O-S-C-A-P-E refers to divination by eggs. An example would be the oracular reading i.e., scrying of the shapes that a separated egg white forms when dropped into hot water. This appears to be similar to methods of mold-like divination, which ascribe meaning to the shapes and forms into which hot lead solidifies. Along with other young girls of Salem Village, Elizabeth Parris and Abigail Williams are known to have to played at reading ovans by means of an egg and a mirror or Venus glass and an apparently similar system of egg divination.
