| 内容記述 | This paper describes the so-called "knot divination" (which I prefer to call "number divination" or "divination from number") as practiced on Satawal, in the Central Caroline Islands. This phenomenon was studied during field research conducted in 1978. Divination based on the number of knots randomly tied in coconut pinnas was used by the inhabitants of most of the Caroline Islands until just prior to World War. II. Few people, however, now believe in this kind of divination. I was instructed in the secrets of "number divination" on Satawal Island by one of the few old diviners who recalls the major features of the process. Divination begins with the stripping of a coconut frond pinna into four segments. The diviner then ties a _random number of knots in each of the strips and counts the knots in each one. The knots are counted into independent groups of four. The sequential number of the last knot on each strip is the significant number as it is combined with its corresponding number of the second strip of the pair. The two sets of paired numbers derived from the four frond strips are interpreted for the omen. The actual number of possible combinations is 16 times 16, or 256. The names and omens of all 256 combinations were ascertained, and the stories of 139 combinations which tell why good or bad omens are given to a particular combinations were collected. The myth of how man acquired the art of divination tells of a mythological canoe that belonged to the spirits of heaven being let down to earth and teaching man the art. It is most significant that the 16 spirits represent the 16 combinations of numbers derived from the random making of knots. A detailed explanation of the mechanic of divination in relation to the 16 mythological spirits that act important roles in deciding omens is given, as is a description of divination rituals. Finally, the importance of the number four (its multiples and divisions) in divination, as well as on many ceremonial occasions, is noted. |
