Liver of Piacenza - bronze model of a sheep’s liver for the practice of Haruspicy -  Etruscan - 2nd century BCE
In ancient Babylon the liver was considered the source of the blood and hence the basis of life itself. From this belief, the Babylonians thought they could discover the will of the gods by examining the livers of carefully selected sacrificial sheep. Haruspicy in ancient Italy originated with the Etruscans, but was incorporated into Roman culture. Roman haruspicy was a form of communication with the gods. This form of Roman divination allowed humans to discern the attitudes of the gods and react in a way that would maintain harmony between the human and divine worlds.  This bronze model of a sheep’s liver was found by chance by a farmer in 1877. Names of Etruscan gods are etched into the surface and organized into different sections.

Yo so....
Witchcraft is actually hella customizable. You can invent shit. I don't know how this: "By the book, uber traditional, heavily controlled" thing gained so much traction, but...
You can make your own holidays
You can make your own Gods
You can design your own divination methods
You can make sigils -however the fuck you want
You can create your own theory on energy systems based on your personal experience
Write your own ethics and codes of conduct
Describe crystals or herbs by their ENERGY instead of a keyword list you got off Pinterest
Cleanse in a completely different way than the books tell you to
Literally the possibilities are unfathomably endless. And I've successfully done all of these. Go forth and get weird with it.
