Sciomancy

Derived from the Greek skia ('shadow, outline') and manteia ('divination'), it is the art and practice of divining the future by shadows, or by the shades or shadows of the dead, in this case a form of Necromancy."The ancient Chaldeans and Grecians, if in times of War fearing to be driven away, or banished, they would hide their Treasure, would mark the place no otherwise than propose to themselves a certain day, hour and minute of the year, and did observe in what place the Sun or Moon should cast their shadow, and there did bury and hide their Treasure. This Art they call Sciomancy, i.e. the Art of Shadowing. By these Shadowings many Arts have had their ground, and many hid things have been revealed, and all Spirits and Astral bodies are known."
Paracelsus, in his Nine Books Of the Nature of Things (1674), states.
