Critomancy is an ancient form of divination of cakes. The paste of cakes which were offered in sacrifice were divinated. Omens were drawn from the flour spread upon them after being strewn upon sacrifices.
I would guess that these were edible cakes, but I'm not sure.

I, for one, have never seen a ceremonial offering of soap to the gods... Oh Great and Powerful Stink God! Bathe thyself and be clean!

But cleanliness is next to godliness, and order is heaven's first law.

Re: and order is heaven's first law.

mavomancy ~ The ability to divine the incoherencies of vast alias empires on discussion boards! [the-any-emoticon-will-do-e]okay ~ i wasn't going to get involved in this (think pot/kettle/black), but it seems only fair to point out that mav has repeatedly denied a connection to anyone but archie, who was cleverly constructed to give us a good laugh (successfully, i might add). perhaps my thinking is vastly different than that of the rest of you, but to belabor this point seems a bit confrontational. that being said, and as mav alluded to in a recent post... there's one person aBoard who i *personally know to be a huge beatles fan, a frequent poster at VH1.com, and a riddler..... our very own W'ON!! so now who needs to fess up??
