Want to know what the future holds, but don’t have time to wait and see?
Why not try “dipping”?
Best done at breakfast on New Year’s Day, “dipping” involves opening a Bible at random and reading only what is written between the open pages:
“events of the ensuing year will be foreshown by the contents of the chapter…”
Chapter 11, Domestic Folktales, T.F. Thiselton-Dyer, 1881
For more detailed information about the days ahead, “dippers” could also consult the Book of Proverbs. With its 31 verses, this section of the Old Testament acted as a “mystical reference to the corresponding days of the month.”

Am I Reading Too Much into This? 
We have a similar practice with a word puzzle leading to couplets in the religious book. Disciples believe that it gives indications about the future.
