Forgive me for no pictures (it was very crowded and I was bad about remembering to dig out my phone) but in the craze at the ren faire this weekend, I saw a very interesting booth.
There was a Tyromancer - a cheese diviner!
I didn’t get to book a session, but it looked like individuals or couples could book a reading where the diviner scattered what looked like some of crumbly cheese on a platter. The diviner then read the cheese for answers.
I looked into it more and found a fun video on YouTube that talks more about cheese divination.
I’d love to know - would you ever give cheese divination a try?
Wow that video was fun. I don’t think cheese divination is for me. She said that could read curry . I do love cheese and my dogs do too and I would be trying to stop them from getting it
That’s fair! It’s certainly a unique form of divination
I think this would be my issue too - I’d probably be giggling the whole time
This is so funny! The show writers clearly had a blast with the cheese man character
Right!? It sounds like she reads just about anything edible! With a power like that, I hope she can turn it off - otherwise every single meal would be pretty distracting. Sometimes we don’t want to know the future, we just want to eat soup
That’s a very funny thing to imagine! I’m sure your dogs would eagerly volunteer to be your assistants for a cheese divination reading
Yeah, so many people have tried to find meaning in the Cheese Man, but the producers said there wasn’t any. Still, it’s funny as heck! Glad to know I wouldn’t be the only one laughing!
Some folks enjoy searching for meaning in just about anything! Which actually ties beautifully back into cheese divination - apparently there has been a debate about whether or not it’s a “real” way to find meaning ever since it first appeared :
The first recorded mention of tyromancy is believed to be in Oneirocritica, a 2nd-century AD treatise on dream-interpretation by Greek diviner Artemidorus of Daldis.[1][2] Artemidorus claimed it to be one of the most unreliable forms of divination, writing that “the truth is spoken by sacrificers and bird-diviners and astrologers and observers of wonders and dream-diviners and liver-examiners alone”. He counted tyromancers as “false diviners” along with dice-diviners, sieve-diviners, and necromancers.
I don’t know what I find more wild - the claim that cheese divining isn’t as legit as reading livers, or that he puts cheese divination in the same category as necromancy
She did say she can read all foods and drinks so even soup might be a distraction. I could try to get my dogs to have a nibble at the cheese and see what lines they make
I couldn’t help it… I became a child when she said cut the cheese.
I would love trying it out as a client (not a reader). These things interest me. I’m convinced that the tools used are just prompts and intuition plays the big part.
MMM
. I do love cheese and my dogs do too and I would be trying to stop them from getting it
