1863 William Smith Dict. of the Bible i. 442/2:
The other kind of divination was artificial (technike), and probably
originated in an honest conviction that external nature sympathised with
and frequently indicated the condition and prospects of mankind...
When once this feeling was established the supposed manifestations
were infinitely multiplied, and hence the numberless forms of imposture
or ignorance called kapnomancy, pyromancy, arithmomancy,
libanomancy, botanomancy, kephalomancy, &astc. of which there are
abundant accounts...

1913 Halliday Greek Div. viii. 150: The most
important and best known type of lekanomancy is, or course, divination
by the reflection in a bowl of water, ink, or fluid of some kind. Many
instruments may be used; divination by a mirror (katoptromancy) and
crystal-gazing are only variants of the same superstition.

1920 L. Spence Encyc. Occult 243/1:
Kephalonomancy: A method of divination which is practised by making
divers signs on the baked head of an ass. It was familiar to the
Germans and the Lombards substituted for it the head of a goat. The
ancients placed lighted carbon on an ass's head, and pronounced the
names of those who were suspected of any crime. If a crackling
coincided with the utterance of a name, the latter was taken as being
that of the guilty person.
1913 Halliday Greek Div. x. 229: One of the
most important of the methods of divination of the kleromantic order is
kledonomancy. We have earlier had occasion to notice the importance
which attaches to the spoken word. Kledonomancy is originally nothing
more than the acceptance of the fatal word or of the spoken omen.

1913 Halliday Greek Div. x. 205: kleromancy
[chapter heading] The appeal in cases of doubt or uncertainty to the fall
of the lot is familiar in modern life.
From ancient Greek knissa the fatty smoke of a burnt sacrifice, the smell of a victim.
This word was coined by Mackay who apparently was not content with
the original spelling of Gaule's list. For the most part Mackay's
changes were of a essentially cosmetic nature, merely altering a
c to a where the word element originally had a Greek
kappa, etc. However, in this instance he substituted a completely
different Greek word. Why this was done is a mystery, especially
since Gaule's original term, libanomancy, both utilises
a Greek word, libanos incense, and is even represented in
the ancient Greek compound libanomantis an interpreter
of incense smoke.
Actually, there was, as far as we know, no
ancient Greek *knissomanteia, *knissomantis, etc.
This word has been copied by later amateur lexicographers into their popular-consumption books. It is not recorded by the OED, or any other standard English dictionaries.

1913 Halliday Greek Div. x. 219: To the same
species of divinatory rites [i.e. those involving a swinging pendulum]
belong the koskinomancy of Theokritos, familiar in England as the
consultation of the sieve and shears, and the minor rites of axinomancy
and sphondylomancy.
1852 Mackay Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions 252: Krithomancy, by corn, or grain. [citing Hone citing Gaule]
1913 Halliday Greek Div. ix. 185:
Ooskopy..libanomancy..and aleuromancy..belong to the same order of
sub-rites. [footnote] Also phyllomancy, alphitomancy, krithomancy...
As to the etymology, I am uncertain. There are no other modern English words beginning kypo-. Possibly it is meant to represent the Greek kypellon a goblet, cup, a derivative of kype a hole, hollow.
Not recorded in OED or other dictionaries.
