Egg reading divination, also known as oomancy or ovomancy, is a form of divination that involves interpreting the patterns, shapes, and colors found on an eggshell after it has been cracked. This ancient practice is believed to have originated in ancient Mesopotamia and has been used by various cultures throughout history, including the Greeks, Romans, and Persians. To perform an egg reading, the practitioner first prepares the egg by piercing both ends and blowing out the contents. The empty eggshell is then allowed to dry thoroughly. Once dry, the practitioner holds the egg in their hand and focuses their energy on the question or issue at hand. Next, the practitioner gently taps the egg on a hard surface, causing it to crack.
Shortly before his death in 1700, John Hale, a Puritan reverend from Beverly, Massachusetts, decided to document a dark historical moment. His posthumously published work, A Modest Inquiry Into the Nature of Witchcraft, is one of the few written records from someone present at the Salem Witch Trials.
I want to thank the PSC on my team s behalf for taking a chance on us and being there to support the venture at a critical and risky time when we didn t have many resources on hand. At the time, women were responsible for virtually all food production, from the beer that kept the Puritans hydrated in the absence of sanitary water, to the bread on their tables.
Next, the practitioner gently taps the egg on a hard surface, causing it to crack. The cracked eggshell is then examined for any patterns, shapes, or colors that may have formed. These can include lines, swirls, dots, or even recognizable symbols.
EGG-energy
The mission of EGG-energy (Engineering Global Growth) is to provide sustainable, clean and affordable access to electricity in East African communities that are not served by the traditional sources. Today, EGG-energy operates electricity service stations in several locations in Tanzania.
What inspired you to get involved with this work?
Access to electricity is a huge problem in many parts of the world. In Tanzania, just over 10% of the population has access to the grid, making kerosene-powered lanterns the most common source of light. Burning kerosene inside homes is a huge health hazard and offers very low-quality lighting. Through EGG-energy, we are able to implement LED lights at a lower cost.
How did you get started, and how has your work evolved?
EGG-energy got started at MIT in 2008 with a vision to help rural communities in Eastern Africa get access to electricity. We did our first customer installation in the summer of 2009 and have since built a 20-member team on the ground serving thousands of people in rural Tanzania. The company has today received funding from several sources, including USAID and private investment funds.
What impact have you achieved in Tanzania?
EGG-energy’s products have prevented thousands of liters of kerosene from being burnt. We have replaced kerosene lanterns with battery- and solar-powered LED lights in several villages around Tanzania to provide a high-quality source of light for numerous families.
How has the PSC played a role in your work?
The PSC enabled me to travel to Tanzania at a critical time in 2010 when EGG-energy was just starting its commercial expansion. I spent January of 2010 building a sales organization that ended up driving huge increases in the adoption of EGG’s products. I want to thank the PSC on my team’s behalf for taking a chance on us and being there to support the venture at a critical and risky time when we didn’t have many resources on hand.
Interpreting the egg's patterns and shapes is a highly intuitive process. Each practitioner may have their own unique way of understanding the messages from the egg. However, there are some general symbolism commonly associated with certain patterns and shapes. For example, a broken or fragmented eggshell may suggest a disruption or obstacle in the person's life, while a clear and unbroken shell may indicate a positive outcome or resolution. Colors can also play a role in the interpretation of an egg reading. Bright, vibrant colors may signify joy, vitality, or positive energy, while dark or murky colors may suggest negativity or difficult challenges ahead. Egg readings are often used to gain insight into personal matters such as love, relationships, career, and health. They can provide guidance, clarity, and validation to individuals seeking answers or direction in their lives. It is important to note that egg reading divination is not a science, and the interpretations can vary greatly depending on the individual practitioner. Like any form of divination, it is ultimately up to the person receiving the reading to determine how they interpret and apply the messages they receive. In conclusion, egg reading divination is an ancient practice that involves interpreting the patterns, shapes, and colors found on an eggshell. It can provide guidance, insight, and validation to individuals seeking answers or direction in their lives. While it is not a scientifically proven method, many people find value and comfort in this intuitive form of divination..
Reviews for "The Language of Eggs: Decoding Symbols and Patterns in Egg Reading"
1. John - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the egg reading divination experience. It felt like a complete waste of time and money. The person who conducted the reading did not seem knowledgeable or experienced in this field. They were just randomly interpreting the shapes and patterns they saw in the cracked egg. It was more like a guessing game than a genuine divination. I did not find any meaning or guidance in the reading and left feeling frustrated and cheated.
2. Emily - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the egg reading divination, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The practitioner seemed disinterested and unenthusiastic throughout the process. Their interpretation of the egg cracks felt generic and unconvincing. I was hoping for a more personalized and insightful reading, but instead, it felt like a vague and superficial analysis. I wouldn't recommend this service to anyone seeking genuine and authentic divination experiences.
3. Mark - 2 stars
The egg reading divination was not what I expected at all. The practitioner gave a few general statements, but nothing that truly resonated with me. It felt like they were simply regurgitating common interpretations without any real connection to my personal circumstances. The whole experience lacked depth and authenticity. I would advise others to explore other forms of divination that have a better track record of accuracy and meaningful insights.

I had a terrible experience with the egg reading divination. The practitioner seemed more interested in pushing their own agenda and beliefs rather than providing a helpful reading. They interpreted the egg cracks in a way that aligned with their own personal biases, rather than offering objective interpretations. It was a complete waste of time and money. I would caution others to be wary of this service and look for more reliable and trustworthy divination methods.
