On the same occasions, the will of the gods was ascertained by the casting of lot or other processes of sortilege.

And strangely enough it resembled the state of mind of a man who fears disenchantment more than sortilege.

I do not know where this form of sortilege originated; it is probably as old as Luther's Bible.

This narrative, of combined bibliomancy and sortilege, is a curious one, but let it pass.
